MKW Tract is a 217± acre end of the road “hunting camp” and Highly-Ranked Social Storm® Property located in Dixie County, Florida. It has an “old Florida feel” with cabbage hammocks, hardwoods, oak hammocks, pines and planted pines and great turkey and deer habitat. The property has an equipment barn, developed campsites, and wells. The privacy and security the end of the road at this property is unmatched. Very rarely does something like this unique high quality property come on the market. MKW Tract is such a place and it’s fortuitous that it hasn’t already been added to the list of refuges, WMA’s and protected lands. This property is one of the last best examples of this unique ecosystem and “Old Florida” still held in private hands in this region.
The Gulf Coast Hammocks of Dixie County are some of America’s most unique ecosystems. From the first Spanish stories of La Florida, this area has been legendary for its wildlife. It’s been known for its hunting going back tens of thousands of years. The moss draped live oaks and cabbage palms interspersed with pines and mesic hardwoods yield a wildness and beauty rarely found in today’s world. Very few places do natural ecosystems, almost untouched by man, reign supreme as it does here. There isn’t anywhere like this place in the world. For good reason, a significant portion of this area is State, Federal and Conservation protected lands.
MKW Tract is one of those special places that when you go there for the first time, you’ll never forget it. It’s unique in about every aspect and as wild as a place most will ever see. Literally at the “end of the road” one drives down a very private road through like-minded neighbors who too manage their property for wildlife. This is one of the safest properties available in the southeast.
The neighbors are all large landowners. Thankfully, prior landowners closed the once public road that once ran through the property. Today, access is limited to only the land owner and one other large landowner that uses his property for personal hunting.
Steinhatchee and it’s great seafood restaurants and Gulf access just 23 minutes from the gate. This truly is a year round recreational property. Cross City is about 15 minutes away with the historic Putnam Lodge and restaurants as well as Horseshoe Beach. Chiefland is only 29 miles away.

From murky farm ponds to pristine glacier-cut lakes and everything in between, Knox Daniels’ expertise stems from a lifelong fascination of water and the creatures that live in and around it. He recognizes and helps clients appreciate the value water features bring to a property. “My goal is to help buyers realize and sellers maximize the value different water bodies bring to a property, not only in a recreational sense, but also for social storm reasons.” After extensively traveling the country for collegiate BASS fishing tournaments, Knox graduated and worked for the Southeast’s finest fisheries and wildlife biologist, Greg Grimes. With Grimes’ company, AES, Knox managed many of the southeast’s finest private lake estate/impoundment properties, and learned the intricacies of upscale property management. Learning from Greg and other biologists, Knox honed in on the specific conditions and habitat needed for optimal gamefish growth in private lakes. He has also worked as a property manager on several thousand acres and for a commercial developer, facilitating the dirt work and builds of several apartment complexes, but his true passion has always been in the outdoors. “I’ve always had an insatiable fascination with ponds/lakes and am grateful to be able to help to place clients on the properties of their dreams and make their personal fisheries/wildlife goals reality with JKA.” – Knox Daniels
Jason has been assisting landowners for the last 28 years in Georgia and South Carolina obtain achievements the owners did not realize were possible. His degree in Biology from Georgia Southern stemmed from the desire to know how things in nature work. His plantation roots began at just 16 years old outside of Albany, GA and the last 20 years were spent in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. His entire career has been spent developing a global approach to plantation management. That plan included sales. Sales is in Jason’s blood- his mom had a 45-year career as a real estate broker. After college, he chose to pursue his passion of making properties great. In 2011, Jason sold his first plantation. Since then, he has assisted buyers and sellers with over $20 million in sales while most of that time working as a full-time General Manager of a large Lowcountry plantation. Today, he is committed to using his unique skill set and experience to guide landowners through the many challenges of plantation ownership.

Hailing from a long line of outdoorsmen, Tim learned a great deal from his father and grandfather. He saw first-hand what it means to be a good land steward. He believes land is so much more than a place to hunt, fish, and grow timber or crops. “It’s an identity, a resting place, a safe haven and a way of life, said Tim.” Tim’s family ties to Alabama run deep. During his grandfather’s first term, Governor James was responsible for signing into law Alabama’s first state duck stamp which helped to ensure funding for the procurement, development, and preservation of wetlands for migratory waterfowl habitat. He also established Alabama’s lifetime hunting license, so it is no surprise that Tim is an avid outdoorsman with a keen eye as to how best to improve habitat for the greater good of its wildlife.
With Madison County roots, Lori grew up on her family farm at Pettis Springs along the historic Aucilla River. A love of the land was instilled in Lori very early on by her father who was a local farmer. Lori understands the importance of good land stewardship and has witnessed first-hand how her own father, a former 2-term member of the Florida House of Representatives whose district encompassed many rural counties of the Red Hills Plantation Region, with a little bit of sweat equity, so lovingly worked their own family land. These are core values she carries with her today, and nothing gives her more personal satisfaction than to represent some of the south’s best land stewards.
