Burl Cypress

Burl Cypress is a high-quality 201 +/- acre recreational property located in Dawson, Georgia. Dynamic and well-rounded, the property offers great recreation and a blend of habitat.The ability to control the water in the 85-acre cypress lake is a game changer. The owner has dug 12 feet deep channels, providing water retention during times of drought. This allows both fishery and waterfowl management, and makes this a year-round property. Acre for acre this is arguably one of the most dynamic all-round gentleman’s properties in the region.One thing that sets Burl Cypress apart from other tracts is the sheer diversity packed into 200 acres – from beautiful stands of loblolly pine and wild quail cover, to fertile fields and mature hardwoods.With prolific soils and a high-site index, stands of loblolly and slash pine have grown exceptionally well on this property. There are approximately 60+/- acres of mature timber ranging anywhere from 38 to 65 years old that have been thinned once. For income production, the pines are ready to be either thinned (or clear-cut) depending on the wishes of the new property owner. There are approximately 35-acres of genetically improved slash pine in their second year of growth.With a wide range of habitat also comes a wide range of wildlife including but not limited to deer, quail, dove, turkeys, squirrels, and rabbits. The property is managed with prescribed fire for the propagation of wild quail.There is a beautiful pecan orchard and numerous fruit-bearing trees on the property. The 85-acre cypress lake is loaded with big bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. Established in 1999 (and stocked early on), the lake is a duck hunting enthusiast’s dream. Heavily wooded with cypress, poplar, water black oak, and water oak, there’s a lot of diversity for nesting ducks and for roosting turkeys.Unique to the property is a 2,500-foot private airstrip (with a 500-foot overrun). Also on the property, there is a small, single-wide trailer used as a rental property or as a manager's home (currently generating $300 per month rent on a month to month basis). There are three barns, a 60x50 metal pole barn, a 48x40 pole barn, and a 58x30 wooden barn with 4 stalls. There are also two 4" wells on the property.This is truly a dynamic, well-rounded property offering diverse habitat and a wide range of recreational enjoyment.
