Rarely does a property come to market with this level of infrastructure already in place and this much natural beauty preserved for generations to come.
Originally platted as a residential development, the property benefits from an extensive network of all-weather gravel roads a rare and highly valuable asset that saves future owner thousands of dollars in road construction costs and provides true year-round access. That development vision ultimately gave way to something far more lasting: the land was placed into a conservation easement, permanently protecting its natural character and ensuring the recreational lifestyle you're investing in will never be compromised.
Imagine the kids loading up the four wheelers at first light, then spending the afternoon walking the creek bottom, shooting targets, and exploring timber ridges that feel a world away from the city. This property is close enough to slip back in for the workweek, meaning more mornings in the deer stand and fewer hours behind the wheel. This is the kind of place where family traditions are born, where kids grow up with dirt on their boots and memories that last a lifetime.
Approximately 70± acres of pre-merchantable longleaf pine have been carefully managed with recently pushed fire lanes and prescribed fire, hallmarks of a property being stewarded the right way. The balance of the acreage transitions through natural pine and hardwood stands, with several ridges carrying mature timber that provides both aesthetic appeal and exceptional wildlife habitat.
A sandy-bottomed creek winds through the property, offering a reliable water source for wildlife and a natural focal point. Several established food plots are already in place and ready for this season, and the deer and turkey habitat throughout the property speaks for itself.
For the buyer ready to build, a 10± acre homesite has been identified on a commanding hilltop, an ideal setting for a home, barn, or any combination of amenities you can envision. Paved road frontage and power available at the road mean you can break ground without delay. The infrastructure is done. The habitat is managed. The land is clean slate and ready to bring your vision to life.

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.
