Silo Tract

Description

The Silo property offering is located in the northern portion of Emanuel County, approximately 15 miles north of Swainsboro, GA. This region of the county is rural and private; larger land holdings in the immediate vicinity are being managed for timber, agriculture production, and recreational sporting properties.

This unique property offers a gently rolling topography and diverse landscape, providing a picturesque setting for a family residence or weekend hunting lodge. The forest types include mature natural pine/hardwood mix stands, bottomland hardwoods, and planted pine stands, including loblolly and longleaf. These pine stands range in age from 18 - 36. The fields consist of highly productive soils, including Tifton, Nankin, and Dothan soil types. The unusual configuration of the fields with wooded corridors dividing them provides natural funnels and pinch points for deer and other wild game.

This region of the county is a game-rich environment; with the Ogeechee River nearby, there are ample populations of deer and turkey. In addition, the amount of agriculture on this property will ensure plentiful numbers and quality of wild game to pursue. The Silo offering is highly unusual, with nearly 90% of the land base consisting of upland soil types. These soils will support upland game bird habitat with the implementation of timber thinning and other management strategies conducive to this habitat. Besides the obvious recreational opportunities, this property boasts considerable merchantable timber, providing immediate revenue possibilities. Several stands of 18-year-old planted pine need immediate thinning, and an older mature stand of 1988 that could be thinned to improve wildlife habitat. There is a current timber cruise available upon request.

“This is truly a high-quality property with character and endless possibilities located in a region where tracts are rarely available.”
