Location

Nestled in the Southern Piedmont region of west-central Georgia, Flint River Forest offers a diverse and captivating landscape. From notably hilly areas to gently rolling fields, the property offers a remarkably diverse landscape. With over three miles of frontage on the Flint River, one of Georgia’s major rivers, this is a true nature lover’s paradise.

The surrounding area is characterized by timberland, farms, and small rural communities, offering both privacy and a peaceful setting. The county seat of Crawford County, the town of Roberta, is located approximately 12 miles away. Thomaston, a growing mid-sized town just 17 miles from the property, provides convenient access to restaurants, healthcare, and a thriving small-business community.

Despite its seclusion, Flint River Forest is highly accessible. U.S. Highway 19 is just 8 miles away, and U.S. Highway 80 lies approximately 5 miles from the property entrance. Major cities, including Macon, Columbus, Albany, and Atlanta, are all within a two-hour drive, making this property an ideal recreational retreat or long-term investment with convenient regional access.

Access

Flint River Forest benefits from excellent access via paved county roads, including significant frontage along Charlie Reeves Road, where multiple gated entry points serve the property’s northern portion. The southern portion is accessed via Hollis Road, which is paved for approximately a quarter mile from the entrance.

Internally, the property has a well-maintained gravel network that provides dependable, all-weather access throughout. Additional trails and secondary roads allow for easy navigation by ATVs and side-by-side vehicles. Multiple access points to the Flint River are available, some accessible by full-size vehicles and others by smaller recreational vehicles.

Property Description

Flint River Forest has been carefully and professionally managed as a timberland asset for several generations. Approximately two-thirds of the property consists of planted pine stands of varying ages, offering both current and future income potential. The balance of the acreage comprises beautiful, mature hardwood forests that enhance the property’s ecological diversity and visual appeal. The land features a well-developed infrastructure, including an extensive internal road network and numerous strategically placed wildlife food plots. Topography ranges from level, gently rolling terrain to steeper terrain that descends toward the Flint River, creating a dynamic, highly usable landscape with scenic overlooks and natural character.

Wildlife management on the property has been outstanding. Flint River Forest has supported one of the longest continuous hunting leases in Georgia, maintained by the same family for 54 years. Through consistent quality deer management practices, the property has developed a strong reputation for producing trophy-quality whitetail deer and abundant turkey and other native game species.

Electric power is available at the property entrance, providing flexibility for future improvements. However, the current ownership has intentionally preserved the property’s off-grid character, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy true seclusion and an authentic outdoor experience.

Timber Resource

Flint River Forest offers approximately 1,100 acres of planted pines and hardwoods of merchantable ages. There are significant income opportunities from these mature areas, along with an additional 677 acres of younger pine plantations that will reach marketable age in the coming years. Estimated timber volumes are included in the property report.
