Whitemarsh Preserve, near Savannah, GA
While on vacation in Beaufort, SC I decided to make the drive down to Whitemarsh island, GA to check out this trail. Just a short drive from downtown Savannah, this trail is well marked and just shy of 5 miles in length. The trail is sandy and very flat with the exception of a few man-made wooden features. I made the mistake of waiting until midday and battling the heat during my ride. Needless to say, I wasn’t on my “A” game this day. Lol. Overall this is a great trail to ride if you are in the area and need to stretch your legs.

In the heart of the Carolina Low Country, Henry Farms is part of a rich historic and agricultural legacy. Located on quiet St. Helena Island, stronghold of the Maritime agricultural community that has cultivated the fruits of these lands and waters since before the Civil War, roots here run deep. Henry Farms embodies all that this bountiful coastal region has to offer, with a total combined acreage of 617, including 11 acres of picturesque tidal marsh where shrimp pop and egrets fish the tranquil creek banks. The property holds vast potential for those seeking a working farm as well as a place to enjoy the storied Low Country life.
Adjacent to Henry Farms is the historic Penn Center, a landmark of national significance. Founded in 1862 as a school for the local islanders, it continues to serve the community as a social and educational hub. Owning Henry Farms means becoming part of the long and proud legacy of a people who worked this land through untold trials and triumphs and joining a community of growers producing sod and crops like blueberries and tomatoes, in fields where indigo and Sea Island cotton made the fortunes of yesteryear. The charming town of Beaufort is 8 miles away, and the gorgeous beaches of Hunting Island State Park beckon to the east of St. Helena. Nearby Beaufort County boat landings invite exploration of waters teeming with game fish and resident dolphins. This is the ideal region for anyone who values quality of life as much as they do farming.
Henry Farms features 450+/- tillable acres, 400+/- acres under center pivot, 150 acres in centipede sod production, 40 acres of coastal Bermuda hay, and 260 acres of row crop production. Five irrigation wells ensure crop yields, and the property is ditched and cross-ditched for well-drained soils. Two active permitted dirt pits with a total area of 15 acres produce reliable revenue streams, and 72 acres are under long-term lease with Beaufort Jasper Water Sewer Authority, providing $60,000 annually. The 1,226 square-foot farm manager’s house, built in 1989 and located at 76 Club Bridge Road, is nestled among moss-draped oaks and azalea bushes. Three separate entrance points offer expedient access, at Lands End Road, Club Bridge Road and Sea Side Road.
With its unique cultural legacy, hundreds of tillable acres on an island renowned for agricultural productivity, and its location within a highly desirable region where folks enjoy the charms of Southern life, Henry Farms is an exciting and rewarding acquisition and a rare opportunity to own a sizeable, contiguous, undeveloped historic property with endless potential. The desire to maintain the rural character of St. Helena Island brings about other possibilities including the potential of incentives resulting from a conservation easement should the new owner desire to pursue that option.

Tomotley Plantation: Historic ACE Basin Rice Plantation w/ World-Class Duck Hunting & Elegant Estate
1010.7 +/- Acre Historic ACE Basin Rice Plantation in Yemassee, South Carolina. Legendary Oak Allée Planted In The 1820s, World-Class Wild Waterfowl Hunting and Quail Woods, Manicured Grounds, And Elegant Lowcountry Estate. Circa 1698.
Tomotley Plantation is among the finest Plantations in the ACE Basin for its wild ducks, historical, and ecological wealth. It is certainly one of the most prestigious, aesthetically pleasing, and iconic duck hunting Plantations in the entire region. This is the first time this property has been offered since 1990 and could likely be the last in our lifetime. Waterfowl hunting traditions date back to the early 1900s and remain strong today.
Tomotley consists of 1010.7 +/- acres. Dual half-mile canopied avenues of live oaks planted in 1820 create a beautiful moss-draped passageway into the heart of the Plantation. The entrance and grounds are one of the most coveted in the entire Southeast. Structures and grounds are meticulously manicured yet remain warm and inviting.
While all Plantations in this region are revered for their ecological significance, Tomotley ranks among the very best. The flora and fauna overwhelm the senses, and along with the abundance of wild ducks are a tremendous variety of coastal birds and wildlife. Nearly 250 acres of the plantation are controlled impoundments for waterfowl hunting. Approximately 125 acres are still in rice production. Hundreds of years of imprinting make this a hotbed for wild bird species of all kinds including teal, wood ducks, pintails, ringnecks, and many more. Other bird species that are commonly seen are large numbers of egrets, an annual flight of white pelicans, Canadian geese, herons, storks and many others
Approximately 240 +/- acres are old growth quail woods, which are managed by fire and are prime habitat for whitetails and turkey. The mature quail woods surround the Old Sheldon Church Ruins that were formerly owned by William Bull of Newberry Plantation and are not protected by a conservation easement. The remaining 770.7 +/- acres are protected by a conservation easement.
Broken rice fields on the southeastern end of the Plantation offer unique fishing opportunities for tailing redfish, and other brackish water species along Huspah Creek. This is a very unique feature and adds another great sporting element to an already action-packed property.
The original Plantation house was destroyed in the Civil War. The current Plantation house was built by Robert McCurdy in 1910. Mr. McCurdy was a member of the Okeetee Club and a wealthy businessman from New York. He and many others purchased lands in this region because of the high quality sporting pursuits, especially ducks and quail. In 1990 the current owners purchased Tomotley and restored and expanded the home. The main Plantation house is a grand one-story construction with large foyer, expansive rooms, 5 bedrooms and 5 and ½ baths, and gorgeous back porch views. Adjacent to the house is a 14+/- acre lake that provides a picturesque backdrop to this quintessential lowcountry estate. The house has been classically modernized, restored, and improved.
Other historical improvements include a carriage house, manager’s house, hunting lodge with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, barns, and stables.

SUMMARY
=======
Savannah () is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733 on the Savannah River, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia. A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War, Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia's fifth-largest city, with a 2017 estimated population of 146,444. The Savannah metropolitan area, Georgia's third largest, had an estimated population of 387,543 in 2017.Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
