California Woods 2A Tract

Land Description

California Woods 2A tract is a ± 203.8 acre great and affordable hunting and timber property. Additional contiguous tracts are available for a total offering ± 803 acres (See California Woods 1A, 1B, & 2B in addition to 2A). Final Division lines are negotiable. The ± 640 acre California Woods East tract ( 3A & 3B) recently sold in one transaction and is no longer available.

As you pull in you are greeted by a great bird's eye view of the property and the rolling hills of beautiful western Stewart County GA. Driving in a little further you have twin peaks towards your left with elevations of 470' and 460', and a nice creek bottom with an elevation of 360'. To your right is another great view across the property and down to a nice creek bottom and well located food plot at an elevation of 300'. If rolling topography and great views and long range hunting opportunities interest you, you need to come see California Woods 2A.

± 153 acres have been recently clearcut and is naturally regenerating in hardwoods and pine. There are two nice creek bottoms with clear running creeks and aesthetic mature oaks and mixed hardwood. Two of the largest creeks converge north of the south property line, and that area of the property has wildlife holding hardwoods and a small stand of loblolly pines planted in 2016 serving as thick deer cover. While deer hunting opportunities are of course throughout the property, the mature natural timber provide especially good turkey hunting opportunities. There is a quality network of recently improved woods roads providing good access for both hunting and future logging.

California Woods 2A is a blank slate to be managed and developed your way. The recent cutover can be left as is to grow natural, planted in pines, converted to fields or pasture or large food plots in the flatter areas, or a combination. Many landowners can qualify for reforestation cost share programs such as Eqip to cover most or all of your reforestation costs.

Located near Lake Eufaula and Providence Canyon State Park in a very peaceful and secluded rural area of western Stewart County GA, there is no shortage of outdoors enjoyment in the area. Essentials are available close by in Lumpkin GA, Cuthbert GA, Georgetown GA, and Eufaula AL. Nearby Columbus GA offers major retailers, great dining, and more.

Each California Woods tract offers the best in off-grid remote privacy with only a short and peaceful drive of a few miles down California Woods Road to GA Highway 27. California Woods Rd is a public county road and the county road dead ends just past the California Woods tract. With only a few large landowners along the road, traffic is almost none, and privacy and tranquility are maximized. The county road is a public road but is not county maintained. The road is privately maintained as needed by the few private landowners along the road, at their own expense and discretion. Most of California Woods Rd is sand based that handles rain well, while there are some stretches with heavier clay content that get slick in rain but do dry out quickly.

Some locals say the area is known as California Woods because the unique rolling topography is reminiscent of certain areas of hill country in California, and some say it is because the area is so remote and undeveloped. The area is unique from a habitat and ecosystem and topography perspective, making the California Woods offering ideal for a permanent conservation easement (Ce). If the next owner places the property in a CE, there would be a tax benefit for the owner while allowing the owner to do the things most would want to do such as hunting, growing and harvesting timber, building an off-grid cabin or house and outbuildings for personal use, building lake or two, hobby farm, etc. The more restrictive the CE, the more tax benefits there would be.
