This exceptional 212-acre tract in Lowndes County, Georgia offers a rare opportunity for recreational value, timber investment, or outstanding development potential. With frontage on three roads, Knights Academy Road, Lightsey Road, and Lakeland Highway, the property boasts excellent accessibility and visibility, making it an attractive opportunity for a wide range of buyers. The land has been thoughtfully managed as a premier recreational hunting property, featuring established deer stands throughout and natural habitat ideally suited for whitetail deer and other wildlife. Approximately 30 acres of planted pines provide both aesthetic appeal and tangible timber value, with income potential for the future owner. A standout feature of this property is its 2,700+ feet of frontage along Lakeland Highway (Hwy 221), offering exceptional exposure on a major corridor and significant potential for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development. Few tracts of this size in the region can boast this level of highway visibility and access. This property is not enrolled in a conservation easement, giving buyers full flexibility to possibly develop or subdivide without the restrictions or potential tax consequences that encumbered properties often carry. Whether you're searching for a turn-key hunting retreat, a timber investment, or a prime development tract in one of South Georgia's fastest growing counties, this property checks all the boxes.
Directions: From Bemiss, turn right onto Knights Academy Road. Travel about 5.8 miles and turn right onto Lightsey Rd (dirt road). In 0.9 miles there will be a road cleared on the left to enter the property.
