Echols Farm

Echols Farm is a gated 55+ active adult community by Windsong Properties located on Macland Road in Hiram, Georgia, about 25 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta in Paulding County. The community draws on the agricultural heritage of the original Echols farmstead, blending craftsman-style architecture with modern, low-maintenance ranch living. At build-out, Echols Farm will feature approximately 200 single-story homes ranging from roughly 1,445 to 2,594 square feet, all designed with Windsong's signature Universal Design touches — first-floor owner suites, open-concept kitchens, light-filled great rooms, covered patios, and options for private courtyards, fireplaces, and flex rooms that work as offices or hobby studios. Floor plans include the Emerson, Savannah, Hadley, Harrison, Newbury, Ashton, Bailey, Rosewood, and Beechwood designs, with a range of elevations and upgrade packages through the Windsong design center. Construction began in 2019 and the community is now in its final selling phase, with move-in-ready homes typically priced from the low $400s into the $600s. Life at Echols Farm is built around a central amenities park anchored by a two-story clubhouse with a welcoming veranda and multipurpose rooms for clubs, classes, and gatherings. The community's signature feature is a large event barn that pays homage to the property's farming past and hosts neighborhood socials, holiday parties, and resident-run events. A dedicated makers space gives woodworkers, crafters, and hobbyists a place to pursue their creativity year-round. Outdoor amenities include three pickleball courts, two bocce ball courts with an observation pavilion, a community garden, a firepit, an outdoor dining area, and walking and biking trails that wind past Echols Pond with a scenic overlook. The community is pet-friendly with a dog park, and private gated streets give residents a secure, quiet environment. The HOA is $285 per month with a one-time $1,000 initiation fee, and covers lawn maintenance and irrigation, common area maintenance, gate security, pest control with an annual termite bond, and curbside trash and recycling pickup — the kind of full-service package that lets residents lock-and-leave without worry. Hiram itself is a small, growing commercial hub along Highway 278, with everyday shopping, dining, and a downtown district minutes from the community. Residents have quick access to Marietta Square, downtown Powder Springs, Lake Allatoona for boating and fishing, and multiple golf courses including Fox Creek, Dogwood Golf Club, Bentwater, and Brookstone. WellStar Paulding Medical Center and Piedmont Hiram are both within a short drive, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is roughly an hour south, making Echols Farm a practical base for both everyday life and travel.
