Property Description

Seldom does a land property offer both significant annual income and exceptional recreational appeal. This ± 540 acre Seminole Irrigated Farm in Seminole County, Georgia does. The Income: ± 262 acres of irrigated row crops, ± 48 acres of irrigated Bermuda, and ± 64 acres of dry land ag can provide strong annual farm rental income, or you can operate the farm yourself. The Seller is the current farmer and will consider a leaseback. Seminole County is one of Georgia’s most productive ag counties and is one of the most heavily irrigated counties in the Southeast, resulting in some of the highest ag rental rates in the region. Additionally, there is a hunting lease in place providing substantial additional annual income. Note: The hunting lease can be cancelled at closing if preferred. The Recreation: The Seminole Irrigated Farm 540 property sets up to be one of the best deer, turkey, duck, and dove hunting properties in Southwest Georgia. The property also provides trophy bass fishing in at least two of the six natural ponds. The farm is well located in the game rich southernmost part of Seminole County, which has a productive balance of cropland and timberland, lots of natural ponds and wetlands, and famed Lake Seminole. Lake Seminole is world-renowned for both trophy fishing and duck hunting and is formed by the convergence of the Chattahoochee River, Spring Creek, Flint River, and smaller tributaries. The Chattahoochee is ± 6 miles west of the farm, Spring Creek is just ± 1 mile southeast of the farm, & the Flint is ± 4 miles south of the farm. Jim Woodruff dam and lock is located ± 9 miles southwest of the farm at the Georgia-Florida state line and the beginning of the Apalachicola River. Simply put, it is not surprising that land rarely becomes available in this area. The farm itself has all the ingredients you need to develop a prime hunting property. ± 373 acres of productive ag land provides an abundant wildlife feed source and long range hunting opportunities. Aesthetically pleasing, gently rolling topography with productive soils make for an enjoyable and productive hunting property. Water is a key ingredient for a serious hunting property, and the farm features 6 natural ponds totaling 65 acres, including the portion of Drakes Lake east of Whittakers Lake Road. The property wells can be used to flood certain areas if desired as part of duck habitat management. The balance of the acreage is in miscellaneous woodlands providing over ± 100 acres beneficial wildlife cover and browse. The woodlands consist of mostly mature upland hardwoods, including majestic live oaks, scattered longleaf and slash pine, hardwood scrub areas, and open areas. Some of the woodlands are ecologically significant sand hills with wiregrass, offering diverse wildlife habitat and a gopher tortoise population. The property woodlands provide abundant acorns and other natural wildlife feed, and wildlife bedding areas, escape cover, and browse. Potential Higher & Better Use Value: The ample perimeter road frontage, potential homesites throughout the property, and the proximity to Bainbridge, GA and Lake Seminole make this property a strong candidate for subdividing into mini farms or country estates as an exit strategy in the near or long-term. Perimeter Road frontage: ± 5070' Burke Rd (Paved, County), ± 2563' GA Hwy 253 (Paved, State), ± 738' Jack Miles Rd (Dirt, County), ± 3303' Whittakers Lake Rd (Dirt, County). The property has no internal public roads, enhancing privacy and seclusion. Potential Conservation Value: The Seminole Irrigated Farm 540 property is NOT encumbered by a Conservation Easement (CE), but the farm sets up nicely for one. The potential Higher and Better Use value combined with multiple natural pond wetlands, the proximity to Lake Seminole and its associated wetlands, area bald eagles, and the presence of natural upland hardwoods with areas of wiregrass and gopher tortoise burrows makes the Seminole Irrigated Farm 540 well suited for a CE to not only conserve the natural attributes in perpetuity, but to also potentially provide tax benefits. There are also programs such as the Wetland Reserve Easements and wetland mitigation banking that are worth exploring. The Seller will consider selling divided.
