Enon Plantation is a historic 4,000+/- acre hunting plantation located in the heart of Alabama’s Union Springs Area plantation belt. Once under the same ownership, Sehoy and Enon Plantation encompassed 25,000 acres. Unrivaled history and generational stewardship of the land marks Enon Plantation at the top of Alabama’s most treasured properties.
Much of the land was being farmed in this area up until the early 1900’s. It was outdoorsmen of prominent families that started buying up farmland and converting to quail plantations. Early settlers were drawn to the present location of Enon because of the abundance of water and fertile soils, and therefore they assumed the name Enon from the biblical reference to the location where John the Baptist baptized many because there was much water there.
The land has been managed the same way for the last 40+ years. Intense wildlife management and prescribed burning have created what many consider to be the very best quail, deer, turkey hunting in all of Alabama. The whitetail deer and turkey population at Enon is exceptional. The landscape is diverse with breathtaking rolling hills of broom sage beneath mature pine forest, 450+/- acres of meandering ag fields, and mature hardwood bottoms. There are 3 quail courses varying in size, 60 ac, 100 ac, and 280 acres and a large dove field. Very low hunting pressure has kept the game moving during daylight hours and its not uncommon to see 20-40 deer in one afternoon. A 2600-acre hunting lease could be included totaling 6600 huntable acres.
Water resources at Enon are incredible with a beautiful 50+/- acre trophy bass lake, where its not uncommon to catch 7-10 lb pound bass. Across the property is another 8-acre lake with excellent fishing including massive 2 lb crappie. Over 3.5 miles of Cox Creek flows through the property providing good water and diverse habitat for wildlife as well as a 5-acre duck impoundment.
The amenities on the plantation are excellent; complete with a true historic 4-bedroom plantation house built in 1840 that has been rewired and replumbed, an updated 6-bedroom Hunter’s Lodge, 2 guest cabins, a manager’s house, horse barn, equipment shops, dog kennels, and much more! This is the best layout I have seen for a few buddies and their families to share the amenities and have their own 1,000+/- acres of the best hunting land in Alabama for an unbeatable price!
When Jon Kohler coined the term Social Storm Properties, Enon Plantation is exactly what he was talking about.
When one considers the time and cost to replicate even just the land and water components at Enon, it’s a non-starter. It would take years and upwards of 50% more per acre to replicate what is already done here at Enon. We sell Plantations across 4 southern states, and nothing comes even close to matching the dollar-for-dollar value found at Enon Plantation.
For those with an affinity for the sporting lifestyle, Enon Plantation checks every box for every season. As an investment, a hard asset hedge, and a Social Storm Property, Enon’s value is unmatched. It would be fool hearted to expect anyone to fully understand the feeling one gets when immersed in the raw beauty of Enon Plantation without experiencing it firsthand. Truly a legacy property & undoubtedly an opportunity of a lifetime.

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.
