Buckelew Farm
Details & Features
Located minutes from Macon, Georgia, the fourth largest city in the state, this stunning property offers 1,544 acres of rolling forested hills and miles of creeks and hardwood bottoms. Buckelew Farm was recognized as the 2006 and 2016 Georgia Tree Farm of the Year for its demonstrated commitment to sustainable forestry practices in balancing timber production, wildlife habitat, and water quality. Protected by a Working Forest Conservation Easement, the land will continue to be managed as a renewable forestry asset providing critical wildlife habitat and water quality protection in perpetuity. With over 20 miles of trails and roads, every acre of Buckelew’s diverse landscape can be easily explored. The mature pine stands provide habitat for the wild quail populations while hardwood bottoms along the miles of creeks and streams offer prime foraging habitat for deer and wild turkey.

A beautiful, custom-built 4,000 sqft main lodge overlooking a 20-acre lake, manager’s home, barn, shop, and other outbuildings complete the array of improvements with an additional building envelope available for new construction across the lake.

Georgia
Georgia land for sale is one of the last places in the country to combine affordability, quality and availability of land, creating great value and opportunity for landowners. The state is diverse with a variety of landscapes and several distinct ecosystems including the foothills of the Appalachians in north Georgia, the Red Hills of southwest Georgia and the coastal maritime forests. The coastal timberlands, with access to fishing and hunting from the same property and the wild quail plantations of the Red Hills attracted wealthy northerners in the 1800’s looking for a therapeutic climate and bountiful recreational opportunity. These early pioneers gave rise to most of the current plantations and large managed landholdings that still exist today. In fact, southwest Georgia remains home to the largest concentration of plantation lands in the US and the coastal estuaries, tidal marshes and forests of coastal Georgia are widely recognized as one of the most unique and special ecosystems in the country.
