1,142 Acres | Ware County, Georgia | South River Road | Satilla River FrontageRarely does a property of this size, diversity, and recreational potential become available in South Georgia. This exceptional 1,142 acre tract is located off South River Road near Waycross in Ware County and offers an impressive combination of quality timber, extensive Satilla River frontage, outstanding wildlife habitat, water features, recreational improvements, and potential income opportunities. One of the defining features of the property is its frontage along the Satilla River. Miles of river influence and low-country habitat create a beautiful and highly diverse landscape while providing outstanding opportunities for fishing, boating, hunting, and year-round recreation. The river corridor, hardwood bottoms, wetlands, and upland timber combine to create the type of habitat capable of holding wildlife throughout every season. The property features a strong mix of mature pine and hardwood timber, giving the tract both immediate visual appeal and long-term timber value. Large hardwood bottoms and river habitat are complemented by productive pine ground throughout the property. This mixture creates excellent transition areas, bedding cover, travel corridors, and feeding areas for wildlife while also giving a future owner multiple options for timber management. For the serious outdoorsman, this property offers tremendous hunting potential. Ware County is known for its strong South Georgia deer and turkey hunting, and this tract has the acreage and habitat diversity needed to manage wildlife on a large scale. Established food plots and deer stands are already in place, allowing a new owner to immediately begin enjoying the property. The combination of timber, river bottoms, thick cover, food sources, and water creates excellent conditions for whitetail deer and wild turkey. Waterfowl hunting is another major attraction. A dedicated duck pond, combined with the Satilla River corridor and surrounding wetland habitat, provides excellent potential for ducks and other waterfowl. The property offers the opportunity to further improve and manage these areas specifically for waterfowl while maintaining the natural character of the land. An extensive interior road system provides access throughout the tract, an extremely valuable feature on a property of this size. These roads allow convenient access to food plots, hunting locations, timber stands, river frontage, and other areas of the property by truck, ATV, or UTV. The established infrastructure also makes future timber management, prescribed burning, wildlife management, and general property maintenance significantly easier. Fishing and additional outdoor recreation opportunities are abundant. Between the Satilla River, duck pond, and other natural water features, the property provides opportunities to fish, explore, kayak, ride ATVs, manage wildlife, and enjoy thousands of acres worth of private outdoor recreation. Adding another unique component to the property is an existing sand pit with sand deposits. Depending on permitting, market conditions, accessibility, and future extraction plans, these deposits could potentially provide an additional income source for the property. This feature gives the tract a commercial component that is rarely found on large recreational properties. The sheer scale of 1,142 acres provides a new owner with numerous possibilities. Whether the goal is to create a premier private hunting property, recreational retreat, timber investment, family legacy property, corporate retreat, or long-term land investment, this tract provides the acreage and natural resources needed to accomplish it. Large contiguous properties with quality timber, established wildlife improvements, waterfowl habitat, extensive river frontage, interior roads, fishing opportunities, and potential natural-resource income are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
