This 110.49± acre retired fish farm offers a rare mix of water, wildlife, and future income potential in a highly accessible Chatham County location just off Bonlee School Road. With more than 40 former fish ponds, an internal trail system, existing utilities, and a recently timbered section ready for its next use, this property sets up well for a variety of recreational and agricultural buyers.

Originally purchased and enjoyed as a private luxury homestead estate, the property was also envisioned as the foundation for a farm business centered around fish as the primary protein source. That same vision and flexibility remain available for the next owner—whether you want an upscale country retreat, an income-producing operation, or a combination of both.

The western portion of the property, roughly 50 acres, has been recently timbered and left in excellent condition, making it ideal for conversion into tillable ground, pasture, or replanting in pines for future timber income. The balance of the tract is a blend of timber, ponds, and natural cover that provides outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, waterfowl, and small game.

Multiple ponds of varying sizes are spread throughout the property, including a scenic, spring-fed lake-like pond of roughly 7 acres on the westernmost edge of the first tract. The consistent water level in this larger pond has been a key feature for the current owner and adds confidence for future recreational or homestead uses. Power has already been run all the way back to this larger pond, creating excellent potential for a future homesite, cabin, or lakeside entertaining area.

An existing well and septic system on the property adds even more value and convenience for buyers looking to build or place a structure, subject to county approvals. With utilities already in place and power extended deep into the tract, much of the heavy lifting has been done for you.

An established internal trail system allows you to navigate much of the property already, and with a little cleanup and maintenance, many of these roads could be made passable by truck. The layout of the ponds and roads also provides natural pinch points and stand locations for deer hunters, as well as easy access for maintaining food plots or habitat projects.

Access is provided by an existing private road that extends from Bonlee School Road, giving you a sense of privacy and seclusion while still being close to modern conveniences. The shape and configuration of the two combined tracts offer multiple potential build sites for a future home, cabin, or barndominium, subject to soil and county approvals.

Whether you’re looking for a high-potential hunting property, a recreational getaway with incredible water features, or a unique tract that can be shaped into a small farm or retreat, this property checks a lot of boxes. The combination of recently cut ground, established ponds, utilities, and good access is hard to find in this part of Chatham County.

Important Note: Acreage is based on tax records and should be verified by survey. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding soil conditions, building suitability, and any development restrictions.
