297 Ac Timber & Pasture Leon Co FL

Farm Description

Newton Family Farm is an exquisite 297-Acre +/- recreational timberland property located just outside the Tallahassee city limits in Leon and Jefferson Counties, Florida. This rare property is in an area well-known for its excellent modern quail plantations. Historic Ring Oak Plantation, Chemonie, Valhalla, Woodfield Springs and many other high-end recreational properties keep company with Newton Family Farm in North Florida's renowned Red Hills region. This area gets its name from the productive clay soils that grow some of the South's best pine timber, lush pasture, and strong crop yields. Newton Family Farm has all this and more. This beautiful property is located along US Hwy 90 between Tallahassee and Monticello, almost entirely in Leon County 294 acres +/-. The land is gently rolling with a mixture of mature, very well-stocked planted pine timber, fenced pasture, and mature hardwood leading down to a seasonal creek. Current approximate land use acreages are 200 acres of planted pine, 31 acres of fenced pasture, and 51 acres of natural hardwood and creek, with the balance of the property in open areas and roads. Access to the land is directly off of US Hwy 90 Mahan Drive or along a deeded easement down Little Egypt Rd. Located in the Quail Plantation Belt, Newton Family Farm boasts abundant recreational opportunities. Wild quail coveys thrive in the fire-managed pine woods, while deer and turkey have plenty of excellent habitat and browse to support strong populations of healthy animals. The pasture would make for a great dove field as well, rounding out the best upland game hunting and wingshooting that the area has to offer. The property has also been improved with power running to a well and newer pole barn, ideal for equipment storage and as a staging area for hunts and family gatherings. A long-term cell tower lease at the entrance by Hwy 90 currently provides monthly income for the property. The mature pine also holds significant value and can be thinned or harvested at any time, and the pasture could be leased for hay production or cattle. The property is zoned Rural, which allows for development of 10-acre lots with county approval. The land is located along a quickly growing and developing corridor between Tallahassee and Monticello and is well-situated for a mini-farm development. Investment value is strong with the wide range of potential income streams and property uses.
