Historic and well-capitalized property in one of the most coveted quail hunting regions in the country; with its exceptional habitat, top-tier facilities, and rich sporting tradition, it stands as a turnkey legacy plantation.
Brookfair, a 2,102-acre legacy wild quail plantation, is located in the famed Albany Plantation belt in Baker County, Georgia in a Whos Who neighborhood of other top whitetail and wild bird properties. It has been managed for wild quail for generations, resulting in consistently good wild quail numbers alongside a thriving population of trophy whitetail deer and turkey. This SWGA property is a classic example of a well-run, well-capitalized, high-quality recreational property with all the bells and whistles that one would expect.
The property has an exceptional management history going back over a century of stewardship by prominent landowners. Historically, the property was heavily focused exclusively on bobwhite quail but over time, like a lot of places today, trophy whitetail deer began to increase on a more equal footing. Because of the habitat diversity found here and consistently good management, the property excels at both. They are able to consistently harvest bucks that have a gross score in the 140 to 150s B&C while continuing to hunt four horseback quail courses. There is also an exceptional wild turkey population.
Brookfair Plantation is a historic hunting property situated in Baker County, located in the southwest region of Georgia. It is a property with historical significance and enduring value, passed down through generations.
There is a year-round feeding program for deer and quail. The habitat is a balance of wiregrass and longleaf and old field ground and loblolly. There are exceptional ecotones here with cypress ponds strategically spaced throughout. Over 100 acres are in food plots.
The landscape features gently rolling topography, great soils, and a diverse, productive understory. A well-established road system, complete with picturesque live oak allees, ensures seamless access throughout the property. There are planted fruit trees and live oaks throughout.
The property has a 13+ acre lake with gazebo and feeders. There are three wells at the lake one 6-inch and two 4-inch. There is also a 34 acre floodable duck pond with a 4-inch dedicated well. In addition to that, there are two wells at the lodge and one at the mobile home.
The lodge has been recently expanded, offering a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. The original main lodge (4BR/2.5BA) includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, with a newly added wing designed for guests with privacy and flexibility (8BR/8BA). The accommodations consist of private rooms with private doorways opening to the outdoors thoughtfully designed to allow guests to come and go without disturbing others. There are 12 bedrooms, so room for extended family and guests is not an issue. This design enhances the experience and privacy for larger gatherings, whether guests prefer to turn in early for a morning hunt or stay up late to enjoy the camaraderie of the sporting lifestyle. A spacious game room and entertainment pavilion serve as the central feature gathering space, overlooking the scenic 13-acre lake.
The property has a 16-run kennel as well as a 5-stall horse barn. There is a manager's office and bathroom near the kennel facilities. There is also a shooting range, equipment barn and shop, a mobile home, and two 3,500-bushel grain bins. Equipment included in the sale (equipment list available upon request). New survey to be completed soon.
In addition to the incredible wing shooting, this region is noted for producing exceptional whitetail genetics. But it wasnt always that way. In 1927, a north Georgia Forest Ranger, Aurthur Woody, with his own money, began releasing deer in what would later expand into a formal statewide restocking program funded by the Pittman Robertson Act. In 1962, things ramped up and 10 deer from Babcock, Wisconsin were released, which founded the basis for much of todays great Georgia genetics.
It has 1.13 miles of frontage on Hwy 37 and is located just 33 miles to Albany, 37 miles to Bainbridge, and 55 miles to Thomasville, Georgia.
Brookfair Plantation represents a rare opportunity to own a historic and well-capitalized property in one of the most coveted quail hunting regions in the country.
