Timber Attributes – The Deep Creek tract contains 283.3 acres of established planted pine stands ranging in age from 15 to 29 years old. All stands are healthy and actively growing and can be held for future revenue or harvested, in whole or part, at any time. The tract is located in an active timber market and features well-established access and internal roads. The tract is considered an “all-season” tract and the timber can be harvested during wet periods when premium prices are paid by timber buyers. A variety of forest management options exist for the new owner including the use of revenues from the existing timber base to reforest unplanted areas to create a self-sustaining, long-term timberland investment.

PROPERTY INFORMATION Investment Potential – The tract is currently a profitable timberland tract with significant upside potential. The tract is also well situated as an in-the-path-ofdevelopment property, well positioned to take advantage of rising land prices. Recent public statements by Plum Creek, a large timberland owner in the area, give credence to higher and better use (HBU) scenarios of the Deep Creek property. The tract is priced to sell, represents an excellent and safe land investment, has good HBU potential and offers truly unique features found nowhere else. Location – The Deep Creek tract is located just south of Interlachen, Florida in Putnam County. The area is known for its many clear, sand bottom lakes, ranches and farms, old Florida charm and friendly, growing retirement community. Its central location makes trips to Gainesville, Ocala and the east coast an easy drive (see table in location map). Access – On its east side there is 1,860 feet of frontage along Highway 315, a major highway running south to Ocala and north almost to Jacksonville. On its west side several separate frontages totaling over a mile are on Cousin Town Road, a large, well maintained county graded road. History – The tract has been owned by the same family for many decades. It has served as a timberland, recreational and investment asset to several generations. Features – The uniqueness of this property cannot be overstated. Deep Creek, a well-known and highly valued spring fed, clear, tannic, sand bottomed, perpetual creek runs through the interior of the tract for over half a mile.
Management Assistance Available Management of the property, including its timber resource, is available from Land & Timber Services Group (LTSG), a well-respected forestry consulting firm with over 30 years of experience managing timber. LTSG is known for the highest quality work, specifically designed to meet the landowner’s goals and objectives in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Along its banks grow one of the only consistent stands of Atlantic White Cedar outside of west Florida and coastal North Carolina. Valued for the restoration of historic buildings in New England and the building of quality wooden boats, this specie re-sprouts (coppices) when harvested to grow another stand naturally. The stand has been studied by University of Florida academics impressed by its unique nature and features. The property provides a diversity of soil and cover types ranging from welldrained, sandy uplands to productive loamy sands to fertile bottomlands. A new, solidly constructed 1,000 square foot camp house was built on the tract. It features full electric power, wood stove, an open floor plan, a wellappointed kitchen, and shower facilities. Hunting on the land is excellent with deer and turkey in abundance. The property has been leased for hunting for many years. Lease rates are currently around $10 per acre ($7,624.00). The existing club would continue this lease arrangement if desired by the new owner.
