Opportunities to acquire a large, private tract of this size in Northwest Georgia rarely come along, and this 488 +/- acre property near Adairsville, in Bartow County, delivers on nearly every front a land buyer could want: timber income potential, hunting, recreation, water, and convenient access to town. The property sits close enough to Adairsville, GA that grocery stores, restaurants, hardware stores, and hospitals are all just a short drive away, while the land itself feels remote, wooded, and undisturbed. Frontage on two public roads, Boyd Mountain Road and Hall Station Road, gives multiple points of entry and flexibility for future access or development of the tract, and gated entrances on both roads provide security and privacy for the new owner. Timber is one of the standout features of this property. Planted Loblolly pine stands cover a significant portion of the acreage and vary in age class across the tract, which means a new owner has staggered timber harvest potential rather than a single even-aged stand maturing all at once. As these pine stands continue to grow, they build value year over year, offering a long-term revenue stream through multiple harvests over time with minimal ongoing input required from ownership. Alongside the planted pine, the property also holds mature natural hardwood timber, including White Oak, Red Oak, Hickory, Poplar, and more mixed in with the Loblolly pine. These hardwood stands add both diversity to the timber asset and outstanding fall color, when the leaves turn and the property becomes a true showcase of a Georgia autumn. The topography across the tract is a mix of rolling hills and flat ground, giving future owners options for food plots, and trails, while still retaining the character of a big-woods hunting property. An extensive network of internal roads and trails runs throughout the acreage, making the entire property easy to access on foot, by ATV, or on horseback, and supporting a wide range of outdoor pursuits including horseback riding, camping, and hiking. For the hunting enthusiast, this property is hard to beat. At 488 +/- acres, there is more than enough room to hunt multiple stand locations without pressuring the same ground twice, and the property supports great populations of whitetail deer and eastern wild turkey, along with other small game. Existing food plots are already in place and ready to be planted for the coming season, giving a new owner a head start heading into fall. Whether hunting solo or bringing family and friends along, the size and setup of this tract make it a true recreational destination. Oothkalooga Creek flows through the property, adding a live water source that benefits wildlife travel corridors, bedding, and food plot potential throughout the tract. The creek's name comes from the Cherokee language and is generally translated to mean "beaver," a nod to the deep Cherokee heritage of this part of Northwest Georgia. This property is also protected by a perpetual federal conservation easement, overseen by a Land Trust, which preserves the rural, wooded character of the property for the long term. Buyers interested in conservation-minded ownership, along with the tax and stewardship benefits that can come with an easement of this kind, should have their questions about the easement's specific terms answered during due diligence. Large, private, timbered tracts of nearly 500 acres with two-road frontage, gated access, a creek, and an already-working hunting setup are increasingly hard to find in Northwest Georgia, particularly this close to the amenities of Adairsville. Whether the goal is a long-term timber investment, a hunting retreat, or simply a large private landholding to call your own, this property checks the boxes. Don't miss the opportunity to own this exceptional Bartow County property.
