ROUNTREE LAKE
1297/acre Timber and Hunting Property
Emanuel County, Georgia
Rountree Lake is a timber property ideal for recreation and investment. Owned by the Rountree family since the early 19th century, it has been used for timber production, hunting, and fishing.
The land features various stages of planted pine timber with additional plantings scheduled for the upcoming season. There are miles of interior roads and trails connecting game plots throughout the property. A creek runs through hardwood lowlands. There are plenty of white-tail deer and wild turkeys.
There are three small ponds on the property and a main lake spanning twenty-three acres. The lake provides a picturesque setting with an extensive shoreline and offers excellent opportunities for bass and bream fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
The property is under a conservation easement with the Georgia Land Trust. The easement allows for perpetual uses of farming, timbering, hunting and other recreational activities. The easement keeps property taxes low but limits future development.
