Furthermore, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is approximately two hours away, assuming you don't have to navigate any rush hour traffic.

Access

County Line Tract offers excellent access with approximately 2,700 feet of frontage along Cleghorn Road, a county-maintained dirt and gravel road.

Currently, the tract has two driveway cuts on Cleghorn Road, and an internal system of woods roads makes most of the tract easily accessible by vehicles with high ground clearance. Still, it may require a 4X4 during wet periods. Also, the tract has direct access to power.

Site Description

The County Line Tract is primarily flat with some degree of slope as you approach the south end of the property. The soil is fertile and well-drained, making it an ideal location for timber growth. The elevation ranges from 240 feet above sea level to a peak of 330 feet along the north boundary.

The property is surrounded by a diverse landscape of big hardwood bottoms, agricultural fields, and other timbered areas, creating a wildlife-friendly environment. Although pine plantations dominate the majority of the acreage, the surrounding lands offer an ecologically rich setting.

Timber

This property boasts a total of 56 acres of loblolly plantation, 36 acres of which were planted eight years ago, while 20 acres were planted in early 2023. Rest assured that both plantations have been bred with superior genetics and are expected to yield highly productive timber.

In this region, typical pine management involves thinning at age 15 and age 21, with a final harvest between the ages of 25 - 28 years old, where the main goal is to maximize timber returns. While thinning does contribute to the landowner's income, its primary purpose is to ensure the stand remains healthy and growing well. In this market region, loblolly plantations reach their financial maturity in their late 20s. If needed, woody release treatments or fertilization can be considered to increase yields.

If your objective is to enhance the property's aesthetic and wildlife value, a prescribed burning regimen can be implemented every two or three years, after the plantations are thinned. Control burns can improve the property's wildlife value, minimize wildfire hazards, enhance aesthetics, and help control unwanted species within the plantation.

The property also includes approximately 8 acres of natural hardwood areas. Most landowners choose to leave these areas undisturbed, as it protects the integrity of streams, creates wildlife travel corridors, and adds diversity to the property.

The remaining acreage is composed of food plots and utility rights-of-way, which function as wildlife openings and can be planted with food sources.
