California Woods 2B Tract

Farm Description

The ± 147 acre California Woods 2B tract is a great affordable hunting and timber property, with some of the prettiest mature oak and mixed hardwoods in Stewart County GA, providing prime turkey and deer habitat. Additional contiguous tracts are available for a total offering ± 803 acres (See California Woods 1A, 1B, & 2A in addition to 2B). Final Division lines are negotiable. The ± 640 acre California Woods East tract ( 3A & 3B) recently sold in one transaction and is no longer available.

In addition to the ± 98.0 acres of mature timber on 2B, there are several loblolly pine stands planted in 2016 & 2018 totaling ± 44.0 acres, and 5 existing wildlife openings. Two of the five openings are planted food plots, and the other three are ideal as is with feeders, or with light site prep they can be planted as well. Situated on mostly rolling topography with some steep and flat areas and ± 240' in elevation change, the terrain makes for an aesthetic and intriguing property with awesome vistas. There are quality woods roads providing good internal access.

Located near Lake Eufaula and Providence Canyon State Park in a very peaceful and secluded rural area of western Stewart County GA, there is no shortage of outdoors enjoyment in the area. Essentials are available close by in Lumpkin GA, Cuthbert GA, Georgetown GA, and Eufaula AL. Nearby Columbus GA offers major retailers, great dining, and more.

Each California Woods tract offers the best in off-grid remote privacy with only a short and peaceful drive of a few miles down California Woods Road to GA Highway 27. California Woods Rd is a public county road and the county road dead ends just past the California Woods tract. With only a few large landowners along the road, traffic is almost none, and privacy and tranquility are maximized. The county road is a public road but is not county maintained. The road is privately maintained as needed by the few private landowners along the road, at their own expense and discretion. Most of California Woods Rd is sand based that handles rain well, while there are some stretches with heavier clay content that get slick in rain but do dry out quickly.

Some locals say the area is known as California Woods because the unique rolling topography is reminiscent of certain areas of hill country in California, and some say it is because the area is so remote and undeveloped. The area is unique from a habitat and ecosystem and topography perspective, making the California Woods offering ideal for a permanent conservation easement (Ce). If the next owner places the property in a CE, there would be a tax benefit for the owner while allowing the owner to do the things most would want to do such as hunting, growing and harvesting timber, building an off-grid cabin or house and outbuildings for personal use, building lake or two, hobby farm, etc. The more restrictive the CE, the more tax benefits there would be.
