Broach Creek Tract
Louvale, GA 31814
Stewart County, Georgia
Land Description
The 178 acre Broach Creek Tract in Stewart County GA is a quality timber tract and hunting property with a nice mix of upland, creek bottoms, and two great beaver ponds. Broach Creek is a large creek that flows through the property, and is fed by a couple of smaller tributaries that also flow through the property. The creek averages about 45 feet wide. In the center of the property is a 4.2 acre beaver pond with plenty of beautiful open water Just upstream from it is a 1.8 acre beaver pond, also with some open water. These two beaver ponds appear to have open water present all the way back to 1993 aerials on Google Earth, and most likely have been full of water much longer than that. These two ponds being the only open water in the immediate area, and so close to the Chattahoochee River, provide excellent duck hunting opportunities. The terrain ranges from flat to a gentle roll. Adding to these positive attributes, the +-5600 acre Hannahatchee Wildlife Management Area is the south neighbor, for additional hunting acreage.
Additionally, the property also provides very significant annual income through 2035 via a timber lease with Plum Creek, a leader in the forestry industry. Per the timber lease, the property will be left in good condition according to normal forestry practices at the lease expiration. As such, post lease there will be no non-forested clearcuts, and Streamside Management Zones and other sensitive areas such as inaccessible steep cove forest will consist of mature natural timber.
