Lake District Preserve is a pristine timberland property located between the most coveted recreational destinations in Georgia. The University of Georgia and its impressive SEC athletics program are in Athens, a short drive away. World-class golfing can be found nearby at the renowned Reynolds at Lake Oconee complex. Outstanding bass fishing and lake sports are options throughout the lake district, and you can access great hiking and camping in the vast national forests within this property’s reach.

This beautiful property features gently rolling hills covered with 260 ± acres of pine plantation. The balance of the acreage consists of a variety of natural hardwood species. The habitat is perfectly balanced, and the deer herd is historically well-managed. The property has river frontage along the eastern boundary and numerous internal creek systems winding throughout the parcel. There is significant road frontage along the southern boundary with multiple gated access points. The internal road system is well maintained, and there are numerous cleared food plots planted in clover.

The property has been managed intensively for timber and hunting and sits between other large, quality managed properties. The 11,400-acre B.F. Grant Wildlife Management Area, owned by the University of Georgia, lies just across the eastern boundary. B.F. Grant’s managers follow intensive QDMA standards to produce an excellent whitetail deer population. In 1974, a 215" non-typical in the area was the largest deer killed in North America. Research conducted by UGA biologists is often shared with the neighboring landowners to benefit the region as a whole, and cooperative management strategies have made this area an incredible wildlife mecca.

This property provides the best the South has to offer, and you’ll enjoy the outdoors in one of the most accessible and beautiful places on earth. The seller would also sell a lakefront home in the Reynolds at Lake Oconee complex to make this a genuinely turn-key recreational investment opportunity.
