Ponds, Mature Timber, and Creek

Welcome to McDaniel Place, a 291-acre property in Jefferson County GA of incredible diversity including two Ponds, Mature Hardwood Timber, 30-Year-old Plantation Pine, and Rocky Comfort Creek Frontage. All these incredible features packed into one tract, just minutes outside the city limits of Louisville, GA. Benefitting from a long history of stewardship, this property has gradually transitioned from pasture to timberland during its almost 60-year tenure with the same group of owners. The two ponds and almost a mile of frontage on Rocky Comfort Creek contribute to the property’s tremendous water resource, which is extremely hard to find in today’s market. During our visits with the owners, they shared their stories of recreation, reminiscing of their summers walking up the creek with their kids to fish for bream and perch. If you enjoy fishing and hunting, and want a beautiful property with mature timber, this one is for you. The two Ponds lie at the foot of a well-maintained pasture that would serve as a fantastic location for a family homeplace, clubhouse or Barndominium overlooking both ponds. Power conveniently extends to the center of the property across one of the ponds to the existing pole barn. The property is predominately merchantable pine and hardwood timber, including a 12-acre pecan orchard. The Loblolly Pine plantations, ~ 30 years of age have been well managed and maintained. Strategic stand improvement thinnings and prescribed burns have been implemented to maintain health, growth, and aesthetics. The hardwood timber is comprised of large mature upland oak species as well as large mature bald cypress, ash, poplar, and other species. McDaniel Place has a gentle rolling topography throughout most of the property, which shapes the two ponds and multiple tributaries of Rocky Comfort Creek. An impressive oak ridge runs the length of the property that has a bluff-like appearance as you look down over Rocky Comfort Creek. Several fields and wildlife openings contribute to the great habitat. One of these fields once contained a horse round where the family hosted equestrian events. Another large 11-acre field overlooks both ponds, providing a gorgeous vista of the ponds and large pines. An extensive internal road network provides excellent year-round access throughout the property. The primary access road runs the length of the property from the entrance to the backside of the property. The main road is in great condition with gravel and water bars for stability and water management. Miles of woods roads and firebreaks run throughout the property, providing trails for travel, off-roading, recreation, and game plots. McDaniel Place is located in East Central Georgia with easy access to Augusta, Macon, Savannah, and Atlanta. It is only a two-minute drive (about a mile) to the local dining and shopping of downtown Louisville! Rarely do we find such a private property so close to town and its associated amenities. The property has an overhead power line running half a mile through the property to supply power to the pond. The property also has a Georgia Power transmission line. The diversity and location of McDaniel Place provides great opportunity for a host of potential uses including: hunting, fishing, conservation easement, timber investment, soler/EV, development, equestrian, rural home place, and even conversion to agriculture. It is our pleasure to present this one-of-a-kind opportunity to the market.
