Historic Georgia Town Hits the Market
Gay Georgia town for sale is turning heads as a massive 64-acre property package in the small rural community of Gay, Meriwether County, was officially listed for $13.5 million on September 18, 2026. Located about 60 miles south of downtown Atlanta with a population of only around 110 residents, this offering includes 17 buildings, historic structures, shops, homes, farmland, and an operational brewery.
Hollywood History and Famous Filming Locations
Atlanta architect Keith Summerour and his family put the property on the market, which features a 19th-century former cotton gin, commercial spaces, and lodging. Harrison Summerour, the listing agent and son of the owner, describes it as a wonderfully preserved slice of history. The town has served as a prominent backdrop for major entertainment productions, including the hit AMC series The Walking Dead, Netflix’s Queer Eye, and the Kevin Costner film The War.
The Cotton Fair and Profitable Local Businesses
The acquisition also includes the venue for the famous biannual Cotton Fair, which draws roughly 60,000 annual visitors to enjoy craft vendors, antiques, and live music among 1920s-era barns and warehouses. Additionally, the sale features active commercial businesses such as the Tower House Farm & Brewery, which pulls in over $500,000 in annual revenue, alongside a local gas station.
