Located along US Highway 441 in Columbia County, Florida, this exceptional property combines managed timberland, outstanding recreational opportunities, and exceptional long-term investment potential.
Predominantly composed of managed pine timber plantations complemented by mature hardwood forests, the property features an extensive network of established interior roads providing access throughout much of the tract. The main entrance from US Highway 441 extends approximately three-quarters of a mile into the property before branching north, west, and southeast, allowing convenient access to multiple areas of the tract.
The property is currently managed as an active timber operation, providing the opportunity for continued timber production and potential ongoing income while preserving long-term investment value. Multiple established wildlife food plots and deer hunting blinds are already in place, creating an outstanding setup for recreational hunting and wildlife management. Abundant populations of deer, turkey, and native wildlife make this property equally suited for hunting, ATV riding, horseback riding, hiking, and outdoor recreation.
One of the property's most desirable features is its western boundary, which adjoins state-owned conservation land, providing exceptional privacy, protected natural surroundings, and confidence that neighboring lands will remain largely undeveloped. The northeastern portion of the property includes naturally forested cypress wetlands that enhance wildlife habitat and ecological value.
Zoned A-1 Agricultural, the property allows a variety of permitted uses including agricultural operations, forestry, livestock, single-family residences, mobile homes, plant nurseries, and other uses permitted under Columbia County regulations.
