Thompson Trust Lands Paulding County, Georgia

Description

Unique opportunity to buy incredibly diverse parcels of timberland land within or near the Sheffield Wildlife Management Area in Paulding County, less than 1 hour from metro Atlanta.

These parcels are part of a larger family trust holding and have been managed for timber production for many years. They are located in a unique physiographic region of rolling hills with remnants of “montane” longleaf pine forests that stretches through areas of northwest Georgia and into northeast Alabama. These areas have abundant water with creeks and streams that generally flow north on their way to the Etowah River. This area and its streams are some of the most biologically diverse in the eastern United States. These tracts offer a great opportunity to own very unique, wild property within very close proximity to civilized amenities.

Parcel 1. 43.83 acres of mixed pine/hardwood ridges with upland hardwood slopes adjacent to the Sheffield Wildlife Management Area. The property has frontage on Jackson Creek. A gas line easement runs along the east side of the property which may provide the only access. There is no evidence of any timber harvests on this tract in the last 30 years.
