Property Description

One of North Florida's largest privately available contiguous timber tracts, this extraordinary offering encompasses approximately 1,640.25 acres consisting of seven adjoining parcels offered together as a single purchase. Located along US Highway 441 in Columbia County, this exceptional property combines professionally managed timberland, premier hunting, recreation, and long-term investment potential. The entire property is subject to a recorded conservation easement. Per seller, the easement permits up to three residential or hunting lodge sites of approximately 3,000 SF each, subject to easement terms, governmental approvals, and applicable wetland setbacks. Approximately 1,050 acres consist of mature pine and hardwood timber, with an additional 575.4 acres professionally timber cruised and replanted. Timber was last harvested approximately 20 years ago, offering exceptional future harvest potential.

Seven to eight established food plots with deer hunting blinds, abundant deer, turkey, and native wildlife create an outstanding setting for hunting, ATV riding, horseback riding, hiking, and outdoor recreation. The western boundary adjoins state-owned conservation lands, providing exceptional privacy and permanently protected surroundings. The northeastern portion contains naturally forested cypress wetlands that enhance wildlife habitat and ecological diversity. Zoned A-1 Agricultural, permitted uses include forestry, agriculture, livestock, wildlife management, and other uses allowed under Columbia County regulations and the conservation easement.
