This large heavily wooded tract of land lies adjacent to and is located partially in the City of Richmond Hill. Once a part of the Henry Ford holdings in this area, the property has a history dating back to Georgia’s frontier and Colonial Georgia. The property at that time comprised portions of Silk Hope, Orange Grove, Laurel Hall and Walton Plantations. With over 3 miles frontage along the beautiful black water Great Ogeechee River and over 700 acres in old rice fields evidence of which remains easy to see today this property holds both a legacy and a future. The Nature Conservancy currently has a conservation easement that covers 1320 feet parallel to the Ogeechee River as protected habitat for the American Alligator.
Potential Uses:
A potential boat landing site is located on the western most area at the confluence of the Canoochee and Ogeechee Rivers. Several resources including substantial timber value makes this property a valuable income asset today.
A greater portion of the property is affected by tidal influence but timber can be removed from areas by permitting.
