Lighter Knot Farm is a 230± acre turnkey recreational and timber investment tract in Jenkins County that offers an exceptional opportunity for hunting, weekend retreats, or a private homeplace. The property features merchantable pine and hardwood timber, including a well-managed Loblolly pine plantation, with an estimated timber value of approximately $400,000. Hunting opportunities are outstanding, as the area is well known for quality deer and turkey hunting, along with occasional wild hogs. Multiple food plots with established stands are strategically located throughout the property, and a well-maintained internal road system provides convenient access to the food plots and across the entire tract. Little Buckhead Creek runs along the rear property line, where hardwood creek bottoms and planted pines enhance wildlife habitat by providing natural forage and bedding areas.
The main residence includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is complemented by a large screened porch with a fireplace. The backyard is designed for entertaining, featuring a fire pit and a covered grilling patio with an island, sink, and TV cabinet—ideal for gathering after a successful day of hunting or enjoying college football. Behind the home is an additional covered shelter that includes a storage room, deer cleaning station, and a commercial stainless-steel sink with a worktable. A bunkhouse located approximately 150 yards behind the main house provides additional guest accommodations, offering a large bunk room with a bathroom on one side and a spacious storage area or garage with two bay doors on the other. Three sides of the building also feature covered sheds for storing equipment, boats, ATVs, and more.
With extensive road frontage on both Messex Road and Highway 23, along with gated entrances from each, the property is easily accessible for hunting, land management, and future timber harvesting.
