About this home
Introducing the Oconee River Reserve, a sprawling 449-acre sanctuary nestled along the serene Oconee River in Wheeler County, Georgia. Boasting over two miles of river frontage, this exceptional property showcases the lush, pristine natural forest the area is known for. It is a true paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering abundant opportunities for fishing, hunting, kayaking, boating, and ATV riding. Located in the heart of Big Buck Deer country, this property is a hunter's dream. Its secluded and private setting ensures peaceful, undisturbed enjoyment of nature while providing excellent big-game habitat. The land features extensive road frontage, well-maintained four-wheeler trails, and multiple prime food plot areas, enhancing both accessibility and recreational value. A portion of the property includes a recent cutover that will be replanted in pine trees in 2026, offering strong timber management and long-term investment potential while blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The property is protected by a conservation easement, ensuring its natural beauty is preserved for generations.

This is a rare opportunity to own a large-scale riverfront property in South Georgia, where privacy, recreation, conservation, and investment value come together. Don't miss the chance to experience the tranquility, adventure, and lasting appeal of the Oconee River Reserve.
