We are a community where you can live in the country, and yet close enough to enjoy city life as well.

Fort Benning, home of the US Army Infantry, covers and estimated 80 percent of the county's 249 square miles. The uniqueness of offering the best of both worlds is due to Chattahoochee County's proximity to Columbus, Georgia, where it can offer country living while being only minutes away from the finest of big city amenities.
