It's been said that water is the new gold and this property is wealthy with flowing water on about every side. With 3.5 miles of river frontage, this property blends high-quality recreation with the refined lifestyle of Georgias Piedmont Region. It is located where the Apalachee River and Hard Labor Creek converge to form Lake Oconee itself. The fishing here is superb from the white bass running up from the lake to spawn here, shell crackers, crappie, bass, redbreast bream, catfish, and others. It's less than a mile boat ride to the main portion of Lake Oconee itself.

The property is not only a bow hunters and fishermans paradise but it's beautiful! This is Georgias Piedmont region, where a large ridge of fertile farm soils runs through the property, creating dramatic 100-foot elevation changes leading down to the rivers. Historically, the 560-foot high ridge top was farmed. In fact, it actually has 515 acres of prime farm soils. Today, its purpose is raising wildlife and family recreation.

In fact, it shares 1.65 +/- mile border with the 37,500-acre Redlands Wildlife Management Area as the direct neighbor across the Apalachee River. Across Hard Labor Creek, the neighbors average around 200+ acres each. This place has wild game. In fact, even on the WMA 140-inch B&C Whitetails have been harvested solidifying the region's reputation as a premier area for some of Georgias largest Whitetails.

The balance of the neighboring private properties too are also in wild game production.

Not only is the land turn-key ready to enjoy, but the lodge is exceptional. This isnt your typical hunting lodge either. Its family-friendly and actually one of the luxury homes in Rivers End so the property can be bought or sold with or without the lodge. The lodge is 5,800 square feet with 5 br and 4.5 ba. It has a modern kitchen with granite countertops, farmhouse sink, and pendant lighting, a grand stone fireplace in the living room with vaulted ceiling and ornate wood beams, an expansive master bedroom with tray ceilings and a large bath with soaking tub, and well-appointed finishes one would expect of a home of this caliber.

A 2.5-acre pasture and horse/equipment barn complement the lodge. The barn can be used for horses and trail riding or for UTVs. Either way, the barn is a gateway for multi-recreational uses.

With its stunning natural beauty, exceptional year-round recreational offerings, and close proximity to Georgias finest lakefront communities, Apalachee Ridge is a rare opportunity to own a high-quality recreational tract in the heart of the Lake Oconee resort district.
