Property Description

This one of a kind and diverse tract in Columbia County, Florida, is positioned within a unique landscape of public conservation holdings. The parcel sits within the boundary of lands managed by the Suwannee River Water Management District, directly adjoining the Gar Pond Tract. This setting provides a rare combination of private ownership with immediate proximity to expansive state-managed resources, including direct access to established hiking trails and fishing opportunities. The property itself offers a varied landscape that supports a wide range of recreational uses. An open gas line easement provides accessible ground, transitioning into oak hammock, wetland edges, and seasonal water features. Evidence of wildlife activity is present throughout the property, including buck rubs from multiple seasons, indicating the long-standing use of the land by whitetail deer. In addition to deer, the parcel supports wild turkey populations and resident waterfowl species such as Mottled Ducks, Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks, and Wood Ducks. The northeast corner of the property borders Horseshoe Pond, a seasonal water body influenced by rainfall and watershed levels. This water feature not only enhances wildlife habitat but also provides scenic diversity. Habitat transitions from upland ground to wetland edges create natural corridors for game movement, making the land suitable for various forms of hunting and wildlife observation. Nearby recreational opportunities further expand the appeal of this property. Just down the road are Big Shoals State Park and Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, both offering public access to trails, riverfront, and cultural activities. The historic Suwannee River, known for its scenic beauty and recreational use, flows close to the property, providing additional fishing and paddling options. Hunting opportunities also extend beyond the parcel itself with Big Shoals Wildlife Management Area located nearby. This parcel requires a landowner Special Access Permit issued through the Suwannee River Water Management District for vehicle entry. Power is not available to the property, and it is not designated as buildable. While it cannot be developed with permanent structures, it offers opportunities for camping, day use, and recreational enjoyment tied to its natural setting and surrounding conservation areas. The property’s location is central within North Florida, with Lake City approximately 12 miles to the southwest and White Springs about 2.4 miles to the northwest. Both towns provide services, supplies, and access to major roadways. The proximity of these communities makes the property accessible while maintaining a secluded and conservation-oriented setting. For those seeking a manageable-sized recreational property in Columbia County that provides access to both private land and a network of public conservation resources, this 10-acre tract offers a distinctive option. Its combination of upland and wetland habitat, adjacent to the Suwannee River corridor, and connection to state parks and wildlife management areas makes it a versatile holding for outdoor activities.
