Egypt, GAEffingham County

Dasher's Bay Plantation is an 1,700 +/- acre plantation just outside of Savannah, GA in Effingham County. This property has all the typical amenities of large property ownership. Dasher's Bay is private and quiet with excellent recreational and investment qualities.

With nearly 3 1/2 miles of Ogeechee River frontage with a private landing, there is some of the best freshwater fishing found anywhere. Many species of ducks are found along the river and the wetland areas on the property. Several areas are perfect for a green tree reservoir and there is another bay that could be made into an incredible 60 +/- acre lake with little trouble.

Deer and turkey are a common site along with many other game and non-game species of wildlife. The maze of roads provides excellent access around the property traversing the upland pines and the bottomland hardwoods right down to the bluff overlooking the Ogeechee River. Several wildlife plots have been created to provide additional forage for the wildlife. You never know what what type of wildlife you will see around the next corner.

The timber on this property has been inventoried by a third party and we are told is in excess of $2,000,000. The inventory consists of large hardwoods to pine plantations that have been thinned or need thinning. There are plans to thin the planted pines for management purposes. This will open the pine stands to enhance growth of the pines and considerably help the deer and turkey habitat. With just a little work and time, this plantation will have the large pine woods look characteristic of the great plantations.

Dasher's Bay Plantation does have significant value as a timber investment. It is a fine recreational property with incredible diversity and opportunity. Dasher's Bay is a transitional land tract that has great development potential and 1.5 mils of road frontage as well. One of the most unique opportunities of the plantation is its potential as a conservation easement property and some incredible tax savings for the right individual or group.

As a conservation easement candidate, the owners advise that this property has tax credits and tax savings of nearly $30,000,000. This area has seen considerable growth with subdivisions nearby that have been used as comps for appraisals in verifying nearby properties currently in conservation easements. A new survey is being completed, comps are available and the right people have already been introduced to this property to make Dasher's Bay Plantation a perfect fit for a conservation easement.

We think this is a very unique opportunity on a very unique property for someone to own, utilize as a tax saving or both.
