Located on Arguably One of the Most Scenic areas of North Florida
Ingwe Farms is a 391± acre recreational property located in Madison County, Florida off Sundown Creek Road, which is arguably one of the most scenic areas of North Florida. It boasts both sides of Sundown Creek, this property controls the game flow through one of Madison County’s most prestigious addresses. The property has rolling topography, ponds, abundant wildlife, beautiful habitat, and a wild “Old Florida" feel. It is located in the fertile Madison Ranch belt only 16 miles from town and is a neighborhood of large ranches and recreational landholdings. As an ideal weekend retreat, hunt camp, or even a secluded home base, Ingwe Farms offers fun, recreation, and beautiful habitat. The current landowner is world-traveled and was a hunting guide throughout Africa for 30 years and he gave Ingwe Farms its namesake for his favorite species, the African Leopard, or Ingwe.
“The landowner is a world-traveled sportsman who spent his entire professional life entertaining others in the outdoors. What he created here is nothing short of an experience.” - Jon Kohler
Recreation at Ingwe Farms is nearly unlimited. There are two ponds loaded with bass and bream for fishing, and numerous food plots and deer stands (for both bow and rifle pending preference). There is a skeet shooting station for throwing clays and rabbits, as well as a 150-yard rifle shooting range. Wildlife is abundant with diverse habitat, planted pines, varied trees, plenty of watering holes, and .75 miles of frontage along Sundown Creek. Ingwe Farms is a deer hunters’ dream come true, with several bucks nearing ideal trophy weight and age. There are also plenty of turkeys, along with other wildlife on the property. For the deer hunting enthusiast, “The Beast” stands sentinel. This three-story deer tower stand is fully enclosed, lined with Pine walls, has soft sliding windows offering a clear vantage point over food plots, the pond, and known walking paths. There is even a sleeper sofa should one wish to stay in the tower stand overnight. This is deer hunting at an all-time comfort level. Even “the outhouse”, a spectacle in itself, offers a clear sightline of the food plot – as one never knows when duty could call.
“I like seeing a property be the best at what it does, whether it’s a ranch, timberland, or plantation. This high-quality recreational property is acre for acre one of the best recreational buys.” - Jon Kohler

“We sell a lot of land in Madison County, in fact, we closed the tract to the north and one to the south and came very close to closing the ranch to the east. I can tell you that the list price here is commensurate to what the market is.” - Jon Kohler

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

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.
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.
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 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.
