Chickasaw-Hatchee Plantation
Five of six tracts SOLD
History: Creek Indians and other tribes inhabited the area until settled by the white man. Pottery, spear points and other artifacts are commonly found around the property. Prior to the late 1800's the property was held by various owners for farming purposes. Cotton was king in Albany, being shipped down the Flint River by ferry and later transported by train. Current Use: Timber production provides the primary source of income for the property. As they mature in future years, young stands of planted pines will help to insure that this income stream is continued. The plantation is also used for hunting and other recreational activities. In recent years the property has been selectively thinned and managed to improve the wildlife habitat. Certain parts of the plantation have been leased to various hunting groups such as Gillionville Plantation, a neighbor that operates an exclusive quail-hunting club. Another portion of the property was leased to the state of Georgia for deer hunting. Other parts of the plantation have been used to entertain clients and friends of St. Joe's executives. Timber Information and Price: The property contains a significant amount of merchantable and pre-merchantable timber. Detailed information regarding the amount of timber of individual tracts and the asking prices can be obtained from Plantation Services, Inc. The Offering: The property is being offered in six (6) separate parcels. Purchasers are encouraged to submit proposals on any or all the tracts using a Letter of Intent, as it is the seller's intention to use the St. Joe Land Company formal contract agreement.
