Ponds, Mature Timber, and Creek

Welcome to McDaniel Place, a diverse 291-acre property in Jefferson County, Georgia, featuring two ponds, mature hardwood timber, 30-year-old plantation pine, and nearly a mile of frontage on Rocky Comfort Creek. All these incredible features are packed into one tract, just minutes outside the city limits of Louisville, Georgia. 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 significant frontage on Rocky Comfort Creek contribute to the property's tremendous and hard-to-find water resources. During our visits with the owners, they shared stories of recreation, reminiscing about summers walking along the creek with their children to fish for bream and perch. If you enjoy fishing and hunting and desire 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 predominantly merchantable pine and hardwood timber, including a 12-acre pecan orchard. The approximately 30-year-old Loblolly Pine plantations 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 comprises 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 and has a bluff-like appearance when looking down over Rocky Comfort Creek. Several fields and wildlife openings contribute to the great habitat. One of these fields once contained a horse round pen 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. 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 it to supply power to the pond. The property also has a Georgia Power transmission line. The diversity and location of McDaniel Place provide a great opportunity for a host of potential uses including hunting, fishing, conservation easement, timber investment, solar/EV, development, equestrian activities, a rural home place, and even conversion to agriculture. It is our pleasure to present this one-of-a-kind opportunity to the market.
