Located in Wilkinson County just off the Fall Line Freeway, the property offers access and proximity to Georgia’s best timber markets.

The transmission line is also a great area for a large game patch and may even have HBU potential depending on the investor.
Overall, Byington Place is a unique offering with tremendous potential. Passive Timberland Investment, Long Range Vistas, HBU, Solar, Aesthetics, Hunting, Excellent Soils, are all features of this property.
Property Profile:
Soil:
Over 80% of the property consists of upland, sandy, well drained soils which provides exceptional utility and usability for the property. The soil supports great productivity with an average base age 50 site index of 80 feet for Loblolly Pine. See attached documents for soil reports.
Infrastructure:
The property has a great internal infrastructure of internal roads allowing all weather access to the property, supporting both recreational traffic and heavy machinery during the wettest portions of the year. All-weather access is essential for a timber investment property as it allows the landowner to take advantage of spot market prices when demand is high.
The property also features an all-weather creek ford constructed prior to the last timber harvest. The crossing is a practical and aesthetic approach to avoid pipe failures.
Timber:
The property is comprised of 151 acres of Planted Loblolly Pine Established in 2023 and an additional 12 acres of lowland hardwood. With great productivity and a high proportion of Loblolly Pine Plantation on excellent ground, the property is sure to generate excellent returns.
Water:
Several water sources are on the property including the high waterline of Black Creek which forms the northern boundary of the property and a 5-acre bay that holds water seasonally. A small perennial creek trickles into Black Creek towards the Western side of the property.
Topography:
The property has beautiful rolling topography with spectacular views. The elevation ranges from its highest point at 400 feet, gradually descending to Black Creek at 300 feet. A beautiful ridge meanders through the property overlooking the descent to black creek. This area has a stunning view and could be a great site for a future lodge or multiple deer stands.
Location:
The property is in Wilkinson County Georgia, east of Macon just off the Fall Line Freeway. Proximity to Fall Line Freeway provides convenient access to Macon, Dublin, Milledgeville, Interstate 16, and Interstate 75.
Utilities:
Electricity is available along the road along with a 115-kilovolt transmission line that bisects the property.
Wildlife:
As the timber begins to grow, this property is going to generate prime bedding habitat and provide excellent browse for deer. The topography as it descends towards Black creek not only has stunning views, but also creates a stunning location to see lots of deer. The 5 acres beneath the transmission line is a perfect location for a large game patch and the 5-acre bay along Black Creek is sure to attract waterfowl for the avid duck hunters.
