A turn-key treasure of a hunting and recreational property with two lodges with scenic panoramic views, ready for someone to step in and enjoy this incredible getaway. Located on East Fork Choctawahatchee River just west of Abbeville, this tract has been developed with the hunter in mind. A well-maintained internal improved dirt and gravel road system carries you all throughout the property - one of which will deliver at two recently built lodges. The Lodges: The newly constructed main lodge is on one of the highest points and has breathtaking long-range views! It has an open great room/kitchen area with large clear windows overlooking the open countryside to the east. The wood-burning fireplace builds the perfect ambiance while spending time at the hunting camp with friends and family. The high ceilings make for a great place for a trophy room and area to kick back and relax. There are 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, giving you plenty of space for a family or small group. The back porch sitting area and fire pit outside is a place to unwind, re-live the tales of the hunt and enjoy each other's company. It's a place where you can smell the aroma of a ribeye cooking, and a cool spring breeze hits your face while you watch the sunset and listen to the turkeys going to their roost. A place where you will sit and reminisce and cherish your time enjoying God's creation. The second lodge is a newly constructed barndominium-style apartment just southwest of the main lodge. It is a 1 bedroom and Loft with 1 full bathroom, approximately 1100 sqm. It features an open living room/kitchen up front. This would make an excellent place for additional guests or be used as a place to rent for additional income. Or possibly additional space for a property manager if desired. * Please see the map for the location of each dwelling, all are easily accessed from the main gate on County Rd 81. The Land: The extensive coverage and impeccably maintained internal road system allows you to traverse this diverse tract. A wide driveway takes you up a scenic hill, allowing you to enjoy some amazing views. This lets you see some open pastureland and a large established dove field. Some internal woods roads carry you down in the timber, with hardwood stands and mixed pine/hardwood stands, including a diverse staggered aged planted loblolly pines. Coupled with 500 sawtooth oaks,100 persimmon, and 50 Chestnut trees strategically planted throughout the property for wildlife habitat. Several smaller bowhunting or hidey-hole food plots are strategically placed throughout the property. The 12-plus miles of improved road system running through the tract makes for great shooting lanes for rifle hunters and diverse vegetation for early succession cover, poult rearing cover, and woody browse and cover for deer. The deer and turkey populations are very good in this area, and as you can see from some of the success of the harvest photos and trail cam pictures, these river and creek bottoms have very good bucks living here. This area has tremendous, big buck potential and would hunt HUGE, for a family or a group there are years of fun and stories that will be built here.
