Justice Place is a 158 +/- acre recreational “mini-plantation” with a southern style home bordering the famed Kolomoki State Park. The property boasts exceptional soils, beautiful rolling hills, and some of the best examples of upland pine/native grass savannah in SW Georgia. Game flow is almost unlimited as the entire northern boundary is the State Park. The house and landscaped grounds are very well done but finishes and appliances do need to be updated and remodeling would make this an irreplaceable property. This property is an ideal family property.
Justice Place's entire northern boundary borders the 1,293 +/- acre Kolomoki Mounds State Park which features the tallest Indian mound in the Southeast. This property is the site of a “Prehistoric City” for thousands of years. It is regarded as some of the most fertile soil in the southeast.
As a passionate quail hunter, the current landowner has strategically burned/thinned the pines into the quail habitat that it is today. There is a 12-run outdoor dog kennel, an outdoor flight pen, and an enclosed quail house for growing/raising released birds. There is also a large, enclosed barn adjacent to the dog kennels and a covered storage shed/equipment barn next to the quail pen.
The five-bedroom, four-bath main house is a two-story, red-brick southern style and is positioned down a beautiful pecan-lined entry drive. A beautiful two-story covered front porch, complete with stately white Georgian columns, make for a grand entrance. Built in 1978 at an impressive 4,500+ sq. ft., the home touts plenty of living space for the multi-generational family, or entertaining visiting friends and family.
The house and landscaped grounds are very well done but finishes and appliances do need to be updated. It was determined that the remodel would best be done by the new buyer thereby making it exactly what they want. Upon entry a formal dining and sitting room is on the left with the grand staircase and chandelier; the master suite, kitchen, and living room are all also located on the first floor. To the right of the kitchen, there is a large game room complete with wood ceiling beams, a stone fireplace, pool table, and wet bar, which is great for entertaining and post-hunt lounging. A small office is located just off the game room. Upstairs there are four additional bedrooms, a private bathroom, and a Jack & Jill style bathroom between two of the bedrooms. A quaint and peaceful outdoor veranda is surrounded by landscaped grounds.
Kolomoki Mounds State Park:
This historically significant park features the oldest and largest Woodland Indian site in the southeastern United States. Occupied by American Indians from 350 to 750 a.d., Kolomoki is known for its great temple mound, standing sentinel at 57 feet high, in addition to two smaller burial mounds and several other ceremonial mounds. Outside of historical significance, Kolomoki is a great place for family fun and outdoor recreation with two lakes for fishing and boating, multiple trails for nature hikes, a playground, camping spaces, pedal boats, miniature golf, and more.

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.
