Market Report 2007
Overview
This report provides current
information about market trends for plantations, timberland and
farms located in the "plantation belts" of Georgia and South
Carolina.
Plantations
The market for southeastern hunting plantations
continues to be strong. Plantation Services handled several sales
during 2006 in Georgia and South Carolina that brought record
prices. Some of these sales indicate annual price increases of
more than 15%.
The value of plantations varies significantly
based on a variety of factors. It is difficult to quote price per
acre figures without considering the components of value and
evaluating a host of other characteristics such as location, soil
types, beauty, and history.

An important "contribution to
value" is a property’s game population. Most plantations today are
privately operated using the best conservation and game management
practices. These practices not only enhance the value of the
plantations, they benefit the wildlife population and the
environment in the surrounding areas. Plantation operations also
have a significant positive impact on local economies.
We expect continued upward pressure on plantation values. These
places are desirable and represent some of the most beautiful
properties in the United States. Many have been placed under
conservation easements to protect them forever.
