Property For Sale

Buck Island Farm is a true turnkey property in sought-after Macon County, GA. This property sits just 700 yards off the banks off of the Flint River & is bordered by large private landowners. The opportunity is there for this tract to be one of the finest recreational tracts in the state under 500 acres.

There are over 13 newly planted food plots currently in place with condo deer stands overlooking several. Many of the food plots offer long range views with multiple shooting lanes. Texas Hunter Feeders (varying from 300-1200lb capacity) are scattered all throughout the property, and will convey. Bedding area and roosting habitat can be found all over the property bordering these food plot areas. Sawtooth Oaks line several of the large food plots, as well as the pond. The one and half acre stocked pond is sure to impress. Power and well are in place overlooking the pond, and would make an excellent cabin site.

Buck Island Farm consists of well-maintained pre merch & merchantable pine plantation. The understory as it currently sits gives great bedding & fawning areas for the deer population on the tract. The new landowner could implement a prescribed burn on portions of the pine plantation to provide additional forage for the turkey population.

There is roughly 100 acres of beautiful hardwood/pine mix. This area has been left completely undisturbed over the years to provide excellent year-round bedding and forage. However, if the new owner sees fit, additional plots & roads can be implemented in this area of the property. There are several natural springs on this tract, as well as two wet weather creeks flow to and from the Flint River just off the western property line. A duck impoundment with control box & flash board riser is in place, and will be sure to hold ducks with such close proximity to the Flint River.

There is a well-established internal road system on this tract that will allow for easy access. Also, there are multiple trail systems that break off of the main road system to slip into stands and food plots.

The potential of this property is unmatched. It is setup for year-round recreational success & enjoyment. Give us a call to set up a private showing!

Young Lake Farm is a true Multi-Use Farm in Ben Hill County, Georgia! Located just minutes off I-75, this high quality 345+/- acres is highlighted by an 8-acre stocked lake, income-producing longleaf pine stands, class A farm soils, excellent hunting opportunities, and a restored 19th Century Farmhouse. This 8th generation family farm has a lot of history, and hopefully the next steward can create their own for generations to come.

The Improvements:
The farmhouse and the surrounding scenery will make one feel like they are back in another point in time. The 2500 sq ft, 3 bed/2.5 bath farmhouse is a timeless aesthetic that celebrates the simplicity & charm of rural country living, which was originally built in the 1870s. Many of the original interiors are still in place, such as the shiplap walls, areas of hardwood flooring, elevated ceilings, window frames, wood burning fireplace, and original pieces of furniture. However, there have been several modern updates recently completed, such as new roof, stainless steel kitchen appliances, washer & dryer, Generac backup-generator, and more. The scenery consists of an array of flowering bushes; several mature pecan trees, as well as several varieties of fruit trees (blueberry, pear, apple, & grapevine’s). The springtime will be incredible around the farmhouse grounds.

The outbuildings here are excellent. Two red-iron metal buildings are in place, each are equipped with insulation, commercial roll-up door, a pair of access doors, concrete floor, and additional lean-to overhangs. Two original rustic barns are located behind the farmhouse, and have been kept in place for generations.

The Land & Timber:
127+/- acres of dry farmland makes up a portion of the farm. Consisting primarily of Dothan dirt, the soils here are some of the richest you will find in the State of Georgia. A farm lease of $9,350/annually is currently in place to provide future income. The layout of the farm field behind the farmhouse may allow for center-pivot irrigation to be implemented if desired. Peanuts & Cotton have been the rotating crops in more recent years. It is neat to know that Tobacco was the main focus on this farm up until the early 1970’s. These fields hold an ample wildlife on the farm, make for excellent staging areas, and provide peaceful views from the farmhouse. However, if the new owner sees fit, these farm fields could be converted to timberland. These soils produced some excellent timber harvests over the years amongst the wooded portions, and will be sure to do the same in future years.

The 8-acre lake, historically known as “Young Lake”, is a key highlight of the farm. Mature timber circles the lake, providing seclusion. Depths are estimated to be 9-12 feet. Lily Pads cover portions of the lake, which gives great indication on the lake’s healthy ecosystem & habitat. Giant bass have been caught here over the years. The brim numbers are strong, and will make for fun summer days. Wood ducks, ring necks, hooded mergansers, and the occasional teal can be pursued. The lake has provided countless family memories over generations, whether it was fishing, canoeing, or duck hunting. A water source of this magnitude is a rare find in this market.

190+/- acres of timberland make up a large portion of the farm. 62 acres of Longleaf Pine stands are currently being raked at $200/acre or $12,200/annually. 70 acres of mature hardwood & pine are scattered around the farm. 35 acres of 2-year-old longleaf pines were planted around the large farm field on the North side of the farm. 7 Acres of 2-year-old loblolly pine were planted behind the lake. The mix age classes of timber here offer many different habitats for the wildlife here.

The Wildlife:
This farm is game rich, and wildlife can be pursued year-round. Ben Hill County is known for producing trophy bucks. With the presence of neighboring irrigated farmland, dryland farmland, timber tracts, & the Alapaha River area, this farm is in a prime location to grow and hold trophy bucks. It should be noted that both the Turner & Wilcox County Lines are both less than 1 mile away as the crow flies, two sought-after big buck counties in their own respect. The turkey population is strong, and it is common to see hens & gobblers out in the farm fields or in the longleaf. Obviously, the lake will supply ample fishing at any given time, as well as duck hunting in the winter months.

Timber harvest(s) could take place immediately, if desired. The internal road system is one of the best we have seen on such a large property. There is not an area you cannot get to with ease. Multiple hard road & dirt road access points are located around the perimeter, which have nice gated entry ways. This accessibility will offer seamless timber retrieval, as well as accessing different hunting locations here.

There is a long established 25-acre dove field located on the northern side of the property. Year after year it provides exceptional hunts for family, friends, & clients. A manipulated transmission line has been placed across the dove field, and it is almost certain to be completely covered with dove during the season. T-posts line the outer edges of the dove field, for electric fencing. Two custom box blinds are in place overlooking the dove field for deer hunting opportunities. An old homestead is located beside the dove field where mature pecan & magnolia trees are present.

Numerous large, planted food plots are in place throughout the property. Each is equipped with a custom box blind & Texas Hunter Spin Feeders and/or elevated trough feeders. Several have established fruit tree orchards in place to maximize food source. These plots are located around bedding areas, creek bottoms, or mast-producing hardwood bottoms.

The wildlife on this tract is abundant. MATURE bucks can be found here year in and year out, with two 145+ class bucks harvested over the last two seasons. Located in a large agriculture community, these neighboring farms will be sure to supply an extra source of nutrition for the deer population. A year-round feeding program has been in place for the last several years. The turkey population is very strong, as it is not uncommon to see large flocks on any given day. Ducks & wild quail have been pursued in recent years as well. A 15-acre beaver pond, which has proven to be an exceptional duck impoundment, could be converted to a lake site in the future. Several wood duck boxes are currently in place.

Beautiful Limestone Creek traverses through the heart of the property over a mile in length. Interior roads will take you along the creek bottom, and directly over the creek, offering easy access to one of this property’s best features. A smaller branch can be found along the southern portion of the property. The wildlife here is constantly provided with a fresh water source.
