With 4.5 miles of frontage on Army Corp Lands, the adjacent 37,500-acre Lake Seminole provides recreational opportunities throughout the year making this truly a year-round destination. Bainbridge is the sister city to Thomasville, and this small Georgia town is a shining light. Not only is this property surrounded by an abundance of recreational and social opportunities, but it has also been owned and managed by a whos who in terms of landowners.
Southlands Story:
Southlands started out as 26,000 acres originally assembled by none other than Herbert Stoddard himself, co-founder of Tall Timbers and father of prescribed burning.
Houghton Metcalf, a wealthy industrialist from Rhode Island, purchased the rights from Stoddard in 1937 and built his lodge on the 200-foot bluff overlooking what is now Lake Seminole. He turned Southlands into a sportsman's paradise, and its stories have become legendary.
It was then acquired by International Paper to be used as a teaching forest. It then became world-renowned as the Southlands Experiment Forest and was the flagship property of their 12M acre empire. One of the reasons is because of the vast diversity of timber types. Few, if any, places have the ecological diversity of this one property. In fact, there is even a book making a case that this area was the original Garden of Eden.
Following the exceptional stewardship of International Paper, one of the most fascinating land acquisition stories ever told came to be. A tale so remarkable that if Walter and I weren't involved I wouldnt be able to describe it.
In 2010, a philanthropist and multi-plantation landowner, Jim Dahl, set his sights on the 5,747-acre Southlands; but in order to entice IP to sell its prized headquarters, he made an offer to buy the 140,000 acres in one purchase.which he did. After all the dust settled and we resold most of the balance (which in itself was $142M and regarded as the largest timberland sale in the south for nearly a decade), Jim and his partner, now owned the gem and became owners of one of America's most iconic properties.
Modern wildlife management techniques were implemented on a huge scale. A 20-acre private lake and 30-acre flooded duck pond were built, improvements were added to and recapitalized, and they even built a high fence along the north and south boundaries. As a result, numerous B&C record book bucks are on the property, including one that was recently harvested scoring a whopping 187in. The current Chairman of the Board of Tall Timbers personally hunts here, and he will tell us that he regularly moves 8-12 coveys in an afternoon and has moved as many as 25! Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia completed the Georgia leg of his Turkey Grand Slam here. Today, this property is the epitome of what a highly managed recreational property should be. Herbert Stoddard would be proud.
Fast forward almost a quarter century, time ages on. Jim was discussing the possibility of selling it with those in his inner circle. The current landowner heard a whisper, quickly stepped in, and paid our valuations worth. Southlands was sold again before it was even placed on the market!
Today, this is the first time since 1937 that it has made a public appearance on the market... 87 years since Stoddard himself brokered the original sale.
A signed copy of Herbert Stoddard's book - The Bob White Quail: Its Habits, Preservation and Increase
The Land:
Southlands contains 5,747+/- acres of the best of the best of the original 26,000 acres. The property sits on the edge of Curry Hill with 230 feet of elevation change. Essentially, this is the southernmost point of the Appalachian Mountains. The Flint River flows south into Bainbridge where it hits Curry hill, and then flows west along the property line for 4.5 miles. Elevations here reach as high as 310 feet; whereas, the Dougherty Plain across the river is less than 100 feet. Its Class I and II soils are exceptional. There are around 2.5% wetlands (122 acres of 5,747), and that includes a 20-acre lake. Yet, there are over 5 miles of spring creeks originating from the steep heads distributed throughout the property with additional smaller spring-fed feeder creeks.
The ground cover is exceptional given, its long-term prescribed fire rotation. Once titled "Southlands Experiment Forest," this allowed for the highest quality timber genetics to be planted here 30+ years ago, and that is evident today. The diversity of hardwoods and pine species are greater here than in almost any other location. In fact, there is so much diversity here, it is one reason the late E.E. Calloway declared this area to be the site of the original Garden of Eden. Southwest Georgia and a small portion of north Florida are the only areas in the world where the Gopher Wood tree that Noah used to build the ark has ever been found. There are no public roads or hardly any power lines crossing the property. Its shape is almost a complete square.
When one compares the price per acre of plantation land it typically contains about 20-25% wetlands, in some places as high as 30% is normal. As such, this fact is factored across the sales price per acre. However, here, there is only about 2.5% or about 17% less, which means the value here is 17% better than other lands apples to apples. - Jon Kohler
Here, you have two of the top land brokers in America, consistently finishing in the top 20, and both are testifying that this is the #1 property they have worked on. Thats saying something. - Jon Kohler
The best, simplest way, for me to describe this property is that over the $1.57B acres we have closed, of the finest lands in the South, with the experience of selling more of these great lands than any other broker - it says a lot that this property is the highlight of both Walters and my careers. Given the types of properties we represent, thats a bold statement. - Jon Kohler
This place is one-of-a-kind. The 37,500-acre lake with 4.5 miles of frontage makes this truly a year-round property. It's almost a resort feel. It reminds me of the 10,000-acre A-Cross Ranch that we sold in Saratoga, Wyoming. We made an unsolicited offer, which at that sale was the 1st time the ranch had been sold since the Treaty of Laramie. It is regarded as one of the top 3 fly fishing ranches in the lower 48. A billionaire with a vision to share it bought it, set records, and turned it into Brush Creek Ranch. Today, the ranch is universally regarded as the top recreational ranch resort in the world. I could see the same thing happening here in SWGA. Southlands is the one property, large enough, the right location, and with all the year-round amenities one needs. It's really more than a recreational plantation. - Jon Kohler
I remember the first time driving onto 10,000-acre A Cross Ranch and viewing the river valley below. I was blown away by the majestic views. I can say the same thing about Southlands. As you come through the private entrance and begin the 3-mile private drive, you will be blown away." - Walter Hatchett
This is a big place. It's one of the largest of all the quail plantations. To put it in perspective, Cades Cove in Great Smokey Mountains National Park is 4,000 acres (32% smaller) and has 2M visitors a year. Here it's only one family and friends. - Jon Kohler

Overview:
When one first pulls into the entrance gate of Moell Oaks, a moment of serenity ensues. Standing sentinel is a historic, sprawling ancient oak, and beyond, 92 acres of beautiful rolling pasture land await intermixed with scattered majestic live oak trees throughout. Tucked towards the back of the property down a winding drive, a very nice log home overlooks a small pond (which also serves as a highly frequented watering hole). The home complements the property well, and a nice sunroom awaits for lounging. The views don't stop there. Adding to the expansiveness of the feel of the property, and contributing to the wealth of wildlife found, Moell Oaks is bordered by adjoining farmland. Once a working horse farm (with a large horse barn, and additional living space), this property could easily once more make a beautiful horse or cattle farm with nominal expenditure/effort. There is plenty of storage for tools and machinery with several large equipment barns on site. Located just outside downtown Bainbridge which is full of history, great restaurants, and shopping. The Flint River which flows through Bainbridge offers great recreational water opportunities...boating, fishing...and flows into 38,000-acre Lake Seminole, which is renowned for its bass fishing.
Broker's Statement:
Moell Oaks reminds me of the Ocala, FL horse farms area with magnificent Oak Trees across the open-rolling pastures. With a horse barn and equipment structures, this property would make an excellent farm, as well as possibly a cattle farm. The log home provides this property with relaxing, peaceful living, with views out over the farm and adjoining farms. The property is minutes away from historic Bainbridge and affords nice restaurants and shopping. - Walter Hatchett

Decatur County - Bainbridge, GA
Southlands’ 5,653 acres is one of the South’s “A” ranked High-Quality Recreational Properties. It has been under quality management going back 87 years. Its history is impeccable. Today, it’s regarded as one of the few places in the South where one can consistently have and harvest B&C Whitetails. From wild quail and turkey to waterfowl, the wing-shooting here is exceptional. It boasts a 30-acre duck pond and 20-acre fishing lake. Elevations run from 80 to 310 feet with the property literally standing at the beginning of the Appalachian Mountains. With 4.5 miles of frontage on Army Corp Lands, the adjacent 37,500-acre Lake Seminole provides recreational opportunities throughout the year making this truly a year-round destination. Bainbridge is the “sister city” to Thomasville and this small Georgia town is a shining light. Not only is this property surrounded by an abundance of recreational and social opportunities, but it has also been owned and managed by a “who’s who” in terms of landowners.
Southlands Story:
Southlands started out as 26,000 acres originally assembled by none other than Herbert Stoddard himself, co-founder of Tall Timbers and “father of prescribed burning.” Houghton Metcalf, a wealthy industrialist from Rhode Island, purchased the rights from Stoddard in 1937 and built his lodge on the 200-foot bluff overlooking what is now Lake Seminole. He turned Southlands into a sportsman's paradise. It was then acquired by International Paper to be used as a teaching forest. It then became world renown as the Southlands Experiment Forest and was the flagship property of their 12M acre empire. One of the reasons is because of the vast diversity of timber types. Few, if any, places have the ecological diversity of this one property. In fact, there is even a book making a case that this area was the original Garden of Eden. In 2010, Jim Dahl, a philanthropist and multi-plantation landowner, set his sights on the 5,653-acre Southlands.
Modern wildlife management techniques were implemented on a huge scale. A 20-acre private lake and 30-acre flooded duck pond were built, improvements were added to and recapitalized, and they even built a high fence along the north and south boundaries. As a result, numerous B&C record book bucks are on the property including one that was recently harvested scoring a whopping 187in. The current Chairman of the Board of Tall Timbers personally hunts here, and he will tell us that he regularly moves 8-12 coveys in an afternoon and has moved as many as 25! Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia completed the Georgia leg of his Turkey Grand Slam here. Today, this property is the epitome of what a highly managed recreational property should be. Herbert Stoddard would be proud.
Today, this is the first time since 1937 that it has made a public appearance on the market... 87 years since Stoddard himself brokered the original sale.
Southlands contains 5,653+/- acres of the “best of the best” of the original 26,000 acres. The property sits on the edge of Curry Hill with 230 feet of elevation change. Essentially, this is the southernmost point of the Appalachian Mountains. The Flint River flows south into Bainbridge, where it hits Curry hill and then flows west along the property line for 4.5 miles. Elevations here reach as high as 310 feet, whereas, the Dougherty Plain across the river is less than 100 feet. Its Class I and II soils are exceptional. There are around 2.5% wetlands (122 acres of 5,653) and that includes a 20-acre lake. Yet, there are over 5 miles of spring creeks originating from the steep heads distributed throughout the property with additional smaller spring-fed feeder creeks.
The ground cover is exceptional given its long-term prescribed fire rotation. Once titled 'Southlands Experiment Forest,' this allowed for the highest quality timber genetics to be planted here 30+ years ago and that is evident today. The diversity of hardwoods and pine species are greater here than in almost any other location. In fact, there is so much diversity here, it is one reason the late EE Calloway declared this are to be the site of the original “Garden of Eden.” This is the only area in the world where the Gopher Wood tree that Noah used to build the ark has ever been found. There are no public roads or hardly any power lines crossing the property. Its shape is almost a complete square.
Trophy Whitetail Deer:
While bobwhite quail may be the “Prince of Gamebirds” in 2024 it’s the B&C caliber Whitetail buck that is the “King.”
If you're looking for a trophy deer hunting experience, and really enjoy seeing and raising monster bucks, this is literally as good a place as one could ever own. Undoubtedly, the genetics are here. Not only have record book bucks been harvested here, but Walter has several now on trail camera. The age is here. Southlands essentially shaped like a square but there are over 6.5 miles of high fence to help ensure bucks aren't harvested before their time. The third ingredient is nutrition. There are food plots scattered throughout, a 60-acre irrigated agricultural field planted in wildlife-friendly crops as well as 16 protein feeders scattered throughout.
Bobwhite Quail:
The researchers at Tall Timbers are amazed at what Herbert Stoddard was able to ascertain and how accurate his predictions were as we use modern technology to essentially prove what he knew back then. What he couldn’t have predicted is the equipment and techniques we use to manage bobwhite quail. For those that religiously follow Tall Timbers' guidelines, they are going to have record numbers of wild quail.
At Southlands, they do it all and they do it right. First, they begin with trapping mammalian predators. However, at less than 3% wetlands (not the typical 15%-25%), not only does that mean more quail habitat than the typical plantation but less habitat for quail predators, so there is a very significant “force multiplier” in the 3% wetlands. In addition, there are relatively few hardwoods in the quail areas making it difficult for predators to frequent the majority of the quail woods. For raptors, this means that there are fewer places where migrating accipiters (raptors that primarily prey on other birds) feel comfortable, and this lowers their success which takes significant pressure off of quail.
Second, they feed quail throughout the year, every 10 days. In fact, at Southlands, there are 90 miles of feed trails. Due to the high-quality Class 1 and Class 2 soils the ground cover is rich and diverse growing both insects, seeds, and ample cover. It's very rare to have a plantation with this high a percentage of fertile farmland soils.
Third, there is ample sunlight reaching the forest floor. While there are a few timber stands that should be thinned, for the vast majority of the property, sunlight reaches the ground daily and combined with the quality of soils this makes growing quail habitat seamless. In addition to sunlight-releasing ground cover, hundreds of acres are treated with “smart herbicides” that accelerate beneficial forbs and grasses and suppress non-beneficial.
The fourth, and most important, is consistent use of prescribed fire. The ideal burn regimen is to burn every two years which they do here and have done for decades. Another benefit of fertile soils is the fact that there is continuity in fuel and the property carries fire very well.
Waterfowl:
Waterfowl hunting is exceptional both on the 30-acre floodable duck pond and the adjoining Lake Seminole. Lake Seminole itself is one of the premier waterfowl destinations in the South. In fact, with regards to Canvasback hunting it may be the best. Guides can conveniently pick up guests at nearby Faceville Landing to hunt Lake Seminole. Alternatively, the private pond is a prolific ringneck producer.
The Turkeys:
Wild Turkeys are a given on Southlands. The varied terrain in particular makes hunting them even that much more exciting. The late Supreme Court, Justice Scalia, harvested the Eastern subspecies leg of his Grand Slam here.
Lakes and Water:
Lakes are one of the key differentiators between good properties and great. Water allows for not only fishing but also allows a property to transform into a year-round recreational use. When it comes to water, few, if any recreational hunting properties compare. Not only is there a 20-acre Eagle Lake and a 3.5-acre pond but there are 4.5 miles of border with the 37,500-acre Lake Seminole - one of the “top 5” bass lakes in America. Guests can enjoy exceptional bass fishing on the private lake or have a seasoned guide pick them up at the adjoining Faceville Landing Park and fish the largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, or trophy catfish in Lake Seminole. Lake Seminole also consistently produces trophy alligators.
Here you can enjoy Lake Seminole’s year-round recreation without fear of development, as the opposite shoreline is forever protected within Silver Lake WMA. Of the 376 miles of shoreline, 30+ miles are shared with just two other private landowners.
Numerous springs and steep head ravines traverse the property including 3-4 waterfalls. There is one particular mile-long stretch of winding spring creek with steep Lime rock banks as high as 15-feet. In all, five miles of large creek bottom wind through the property with several smaller feeder creeks dispersed throughout.
There is a 60-acre irrigated agricultural field for income and wildlife. A pivot, a 12-inch well pumping 900 gallons per minute supplies the ag field. A sophisticated piping system and a pumping station connected to the lake ensure an abundant water supply throughout the property (as well as the ability to pump water both into or out of the lake). There are also 6-inch and 4-inch wells.
Conservation:
Today, in the nearby Red Hills Plantation region over 40% of the plantations are under a conservation easement. This is a positive trend that is continuing.

Overview:
When one first pulls into the entrance gate of Moell Oaks, a moment of serenity ensues. Standing sentinel is a historic, sprawling ancient oak, and beyond, 92 acres of beautiful rolling pasture land await intermixed with scattered majestic live oak trees throughout. Tucked towards the back of the property down a winding drive, a very nice log home overlooks a small pond (which also serves as a highly frequented watering hole). The home complements the property well, and a nice sunroom awaits for lounging. The views don't stop there. Adding to the expansiveness of the feel of the property, and contributing to the wealth of wildlife found, Moell Oaks is bordered by adjoining farmland. Once a working horse farm (with a large horse barn, and additional living space), this property could easily once more make a beautiful horse or cattle farm with nominal expenditure/effort. There is plenty of storage for tools and machinery with several large equipment barns on site. Located just outside downtown Bainbridge which is full of history, great restaurants, and shopping. The Flint River which flows through Bainbridge offers great recreational water opportunities...boating, fishing...and flows into 38,000-acre Lake Seminole, which is renowned for its bass fishing.
Broker's Statement:
Moell Oaks reminds me of the Ocala, FL horse farms area with magnificent Oak Trees across the open-rolling pastures. With a horse barn and equipment structures, this property would make an excellent farm, as well as possibly a cattle farm. The log home provides this property with relaxing, peaceful living, with views out over the farm and adjoining farms. The property is minutes away from historic Bainbridge and affords nice restaurants and shopping. - Walter Hatchett
