The Estate of Robert B. Lively III
Two well-built brick homes and a separate buildable lot —10.76± acres in all, with frontage on Cave Spring Road SW — come to auction together as the Estate of Robert B. Lively III, minutes from Rome in southwest Floyd County. It’s a rare, flexible offering: a spacious brick home on nearly six acres, a second home with a pool, a barn, and a finished basement suite, and a buildable homesite lot — sold individually, in combinations, or as a whole on one defined date. And it comes with something a cash listing can’t match: owner financing available to qualified buyers.
The Property — Three Tracts
- Tract 1 — 3824 Cave Spring Rd SW (5.95± acres): a 3,030± sq ft brick ranch built in 1968 with 3.5 baths, plus a garage, carport, and outbuildings. Vacant and available for immediate possession — livable as-is, with room to update to your own taste, on nearly six acres.
- Tract 2 — 3848 Cave Spring Rd SW (2.12± acres): a 1,878± sq ft brick home built in 1974 with a fully finished basement of roughly 1,000± sq ft — its own kitchen, bedroom, great room, and full bath, a ready-made in-law suite, guest quarters, or rental space. Outside, it lives like a complete homestead, with an in-ground pool, a barn, a carport, and outbuildings.
- Tract 3 — Buildable Lot (2.69± acres): a separate residential lot ready for a new home — a homesite for a builder, a neighbor, or the buyer who wants room to expand.
- S-R zoning across all three tracts.
Owner Financing Available
This is what sets the Lively estate apart. Owner financing is offered to qualified buyers on terms set by the seller — so buyers who prefer, or need, seller terms rather than a bank can compete right alongside cash. It’s the rare chance to buy a brick home on acreage near Rome without the hurdles of conventional financing.
Offered Your Way — Tracts, Combinations, or the Whole
All three tracts sell individually, in combinations, or as a whole — and the property sells the way that brings the most. A family can bid on the home that fits, a builder or neighbor can take the lot, or a single buyer can bid on the whole 10.76±-acre package. On sale day, competition across the tracts sets the number, and the seller takes the best result.
Location
The estate fronts Cave Spring Road SW (U.S. Hwy 411) just minutes from Rome — the Floyd County seat and home to Berry College and Shorter University, with the area’s regional medical centers, shopping, and dining close by. Atlanta is roughly an hour and a half southeast, and Cartersville and I-75 are an easy drive east. It’s a location that keeps a country setting within quick reach of town.
The Opportunity
Two solid brick homes and a buildable lot on eleven acres of road frontage near Rome don’t come up together often — and rarely with owner financing on the table. Live in one home and rent the other, add a third home on the lot, or take the whole place. On a defined sale date, in the open, competition — not a stale list price — sets the value.
