Gin Mill is 836+/- acre highly managed recreational property and sits on high ground overlooking the bottomlands of the Alabama River basin. Located in Baldwin County, Alabama in between the communities of Tensaw and Blacksher, this area is an extremely desirable location for recreational buyers due to the quality of land here & its proximity to the gulf coast. Less than 1 hour from Mobile, under 1:20 minutes from Fairhope & Pensacola, Gin Mill will provide convenient access to friends and family throughout the year.
Gin Mill is simply a beautiful piece of property and a testament to committed and intentional land stewards. The management goals and objectives have been all about wildlife and recreational enjoyment. The northern boundary runs along Dunn Lake for approximately 1400’ providing access to excellent fishing, wintering ducks, and beautiful views. Holley Creek flows from Dunn Lake and is the western boundary for approximately 3200’. The properties high elevation along the edge of the Alabama River basin is one of its most unique and important features, with no threat from a high river. However, when surrounding land does flood from high rivers, Gin Mill becomes some of the nearest high ground available to wildlife and that can be something to behold.
The hunting, fishing, and recreational enjoyment to be had at Gin Mill is truly excellent. The property is loaded with deer and turkey and even some wild quail. The existing habitat is great for quail and one could easily incorporate a few half day quail courses. An extensive road network provides access from the front of the property all the way to the back. There are over a dozen food plots total, several large food plots with redneck blinds scattered throughout. The views from these redneck blinds of lush green fields with old growth pine timber in the background is breathtaking. The pine timber here is very impressive, with mature stands making up most of the property. The balance of timber is mature hardwood in the bottoms and bordering Holley Creek. As the elevation drops off, a beautiful stand of mature cypress runs all the way to the northern boundary line. The potential current and future timber income here is substantial and will provide a great store of wealth for the new steward of Gin Mill.
A small but quaint 1 bedroom cabin sits on a hill overlooking old growth cypress that leads to Dunn Lake. A nice field off the front of the cabin is regularly planted keeping deer and turkeys in the front yard daily. Other improvements include an enclosed metal equipment shed with concrete floor and 2 roll up doors, a large open equipment shed, cooking shed, & other extra storage sheds.

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

As a third-generation land broker with more than 30 years of experience in advising landowners in this niche, Jon is known for his innate ability to harvest a land’s unique intrinsic value. Touting several notable sales under his belt, Jon personally closed Rock Creek/Molpus – 124,000 acres of premium timberland at $142,000,000 – which was known as the largest timberland land sale in the Southeast for eight years running. He is a co-founding member of LandLeader and achieved the real estate industry’s highest honor, “2022 National Broker of the Year – Recreational Land Sales,” by the Realtors® Land Institute.

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 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.
