A Hunting Paradise Awaits:
Step into a world where hunting dreams come true. As you approach, you'll be welcomed by the convenience of paved road frontage and 30+ miles of meticulously maintained road and trail system that winds through the landscape, granting you easy access across this sprawling retreat.
There’s an abundance of game, including trophy whitetail bucks (both free range and enclosed), fallow deer, turkey, dove, quail, ducks, and other small game. 800 acres are enclosed with a 10-foot game fence, home to a thriving population of trophy deer of an estimated 115 bucks and 130 does that include monstrous Texas genetics, along with fallow deer. The remaining 456 acres are free range and also teeming with game. Over the past 10 years, the property has been home to a breeding program that has enhanced the genetics of its deer population, with five breeder pens on site, ranging from 1.5 to 12 acres in size. In 2022, $400,000 in deer were released. The wildlife habitat is extremely well managed, with a rotating control burn schedule and a year-round feeding program, supported by a 7-ton and a 20-ton silo. Over 15 food plots, including a 12 acre agricultural field that also serves as an exceptional dove field, 13 fiberglass shooting houses, wood-constructed shooting houses, and ladder stands have been thoughtfully placed throughout the property.
A Timber Haven:
Beyond its hunting allure, this property is an excellent source of short and long-term income. Its professionally managed timber stands consist of mature natural hardwood and pine, along with valuable longleaf pine plantations. The timber's tax-free income potential is substantial, with an estimated value available upon request.
Serene Waters and Natural Beauty:
Two scenic 12-acre fishing lakes, stocked and professionally managed for trophy bass, invite you to while away your days in peaceful tranquility. For waterfowl enthusiasts, a 2.5-acre duck pond has been host to wood ducks, teal, and other species, providing exciting hunting opportunities.
The Epitome of Luxury Living:
As if the natural wonders weren't enough, this property features an exquisite lodge that leaves nothing to be desired. Crafted from limestone harvested from a private quarry in San Antonio, the lodge boasts 20,000 square feet under roof and 14,000 square feet of living space. With 5 bedrooms, a spacious bunk room, 6 full bathrooms, 1 half bath, and a host of amenities, this lodge is a masterpiece of luxury. Walk-in closets, trophy room, craft room, gym, movie theater, storm shelter, walk-in gun safe, 3-car garage, and a great room with a commercial-grade kitchen, massive fireplace, and hand-constructed hearth are just some of the highlights.
Outside, a sparkling pool and fishing lake provide stunning backdrops for relaxation and entertaining. With sunrise views over the rear and sunset views over the front, every moment here is a picturesque experience. Just outside the lodge is a matching building that houses multiple equipment bays with rollup doors and a game processing facility. Contents and equipment are negotiable with acceptable terms.
Mineral Ownership and Income Potential:
Mineral rights are included (per Seller), and the property's location in the Citronelle oil field opens the door to potential pore space or mining income from oil or gas.
A Rare Gem Below Replacement Cost:
This remarkable property is priced significantly below replacement cost, presenting a unique opportunity for qualified buyers. Explore options such as tax shelter via a conservation easement, bonus depreciation, and other programs that would not interfere with its current use and potentially pay for the property or a majority of it. A buyer-specific pro forma can be created upon request.
This is more than a property; it's a lifestyle and an investment in the pursuit of excellence. Seize the chance to make this one-of-a-kind property your very own, where luxury living and outdoor adventures converge.
