Direct access to the properties is by short, well-maintained County graded roads connected to major paved highways. Power is on the boundary of the property. The tract has a well-maintained internal road system and has had extensive, pushed fire lines and access paths established around stand boundaries. This provides significant opportunity for internal access, exploring and setting up of remote hunting sites.

Land qualities

The land has been used for timber production for over 50 years. The upland soils are productive and have been used to grow planted pine for the active local timber market. Pastures and hobby farming are a common use on adjacent properties. The lowland soils have significant mature pine, hardwood and cypress timber. The lowlands are generally clean and open inside their canopies. High ground suitable for a building is located in multiple locations.

Timber qualities

76 acres of the property have recently been professionally reforested into high production, planted slash pine stands. These newly established stands are designed for fast growth, productivity and a high rate of return. The lowland timber is largely mature pine, hardwood and cypress. Lowland sites include mesic hammock (seasonal) and hydric hammock (non-seasonal).

Hunting and Recreation

Excellent hunting opportunities exist on the property. Given the large number of un-hunted or lightly hunted acres surrounding the property, the game populations and amount of undisturbed habitat are very high. Deer and turkey populations are excellent.

Recreational opportunities off the tract are numerous with the new 11,000-acre State Park nearby which will include hiking, kayaking and other activities in and around the multiple large springs it contains (Big Horn Spring is the most noteworthy) and in the WMA that will surround the park and be immediately accessible to the WoodVest tracts. The headwaters boat ramp and swimming area of the Wacissa River is a short 10 minute drive from the property. The crystal clear Wacissa includes Blue Springs, a large, beautiful spring and swimming area accessible by watercraft. The pristine river, an Official Florida Waterway (OFW), continues south all the way down to Goose Pasture in Taylor County and serves as one of Floridas best paddling routes.

Twenty minutes south of the tract down highway 59 and 98 is the entrance to the internationally known and acclaimed St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge along the coast. The Refuge includes a boat ramp for coastal fisherman and boaters, hiking, biking, fishing, a historic lighthouse and pretty much anything applicable to a beautiful and unique natural coastal setting.
