Location:

This unique recreational property fronts along Ga. Hwy. 24 on the west and its eastern boundary is the Savannah River with approximately 3500 ft. frontage. Sylvania, Ga, the county seat, is approximately 18 miles northeast, Statesboro, 35 miles west and Savannah approximately 48 miles south. Plantation Airpark with a 5000 ft. paved runway is about 9 miles away and the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport is some 42 miles south.

Description:

The property was originally developed around 2007 as a commercial hunting operation for upland wing shooting, deer and turkey hunting is like no other in the area. The current owner is presently enjoying the property as a private estate. Two shelters, one with concrete flooring and lighting that originally housed skeet and trap operations are located near the lodge. A sporting clays range that was a part of the original layout and structures are still in place. The skeet/trap throwers and night lighting for shooting are available through former owner and can be bought separately. The unique rolling topography and bluffs associated with the Savannah River Basin adds an interesting dimension to recreational enjoyment of the property. The property hosts some 900 plus acres of pine upland with approximately 250 acres of hardwood type land along the river. Substantial timber value is on most of the uplands with portions very open to accommodate quail hunting. An all-weather road system with signage provides good access throughout property. Quality built improvements necessary for a first-class hunting and recreational property are listed and described below.

Comments:

Tucked quietly away on the Savannah River less than an hour from Savannah and only ninety minutes from Hilton Head Island South Carolina is this opportunity not afforded many. Already set up for hunting season and suitable to enjoy for other occasions the property lends itself to a myriad of uses all centered around fun and the great outdoors. Wild hogs can be hunted year-round and of course deer, turkey, and ducks are abundant for the hunter enthusiast. Quail hunting is easily available with release- birds to assure good hunts at the owner’s leisure. In off-season while not being used for hunting the property could host archery competitions, weddings, family reunions, camping events or other private gatherings.

Close to civilization so you get there in minutes but private enough to escape the busyness of today’s life. You bring the people the property provides the fun!

Price:

This turn-key operation is offered complete with appliances, furnishings, right on down to the linens in both main lodge and cabins. The tractor and mower, are included as well. The total package, ready to hunt and enjoy is reasonably priced in today’s market
