Description

Nestled in the rolling hills of Upson County, Georgia, near the historic town of Thomaston, lies Moonshine Meadow. Thomaston provides a variety of restaurants and shopping options, along with all the necessary businesses conveniently located near Moonshine Meadow. This remarkable property spans approximately 641 acres of pristine, mature hardwood forest, interspersed with stunning creek bottoms.

 

Moonshine Meadow features a cozy 816 sq ft cabin with 1 bedroom and 1 bath, a charming 476 sq ft guest cabin also with 1 bedroom and 1 bath, and a 168 sq ft bunkhouse complete with an attached outdoor shower. This setup provides the perfect retreat for gathering after a long day spent outdoors.

 

Properties like Moonshine Meadow, with such beautiful hardwoods, are a rarity. The exceptional quality of these trees is a testament to the stewardship of the former owners over the decades. Once harvested, these types of hardwoods take a century or more to regenerate, making this old forest a truly special find in today’s landscape.

 

Every detail of Moonshine Meadow has been meticulously attended to, featuring over 10 miles of an excellent, mostly gravel road system that provides access to all areas of the property. With over 24 acres dedicated to 31 meticulously maintained food plots of alfalfa and various forage grains, Moonshine Meadow is already fully equipped for hunting, featuring 14 Redneck blinds currently in place. The wildlife at Moonshine Meadow is truly incredible. I can’t recall ever visiting a place with such a high number of turkeys and quality deer. A year-round feeding program, coupled with expansive alfalfa patches, ensures excellent nutrition for all types of wildlife.

 

With 1.8 miles of frontage along Potato Creek, you'll enjoy fantastic shoal bass fishing, kayaking, and swimming for year-round fun. When you include Jerry Reeves Creek, you and your family, kids, and friends can explore the creeks, play in the multiple waterfalls, and admire the beautiful Mountain Laurel and wild azaleas in the springtime, all while soaking in the serenity and peace of the surroundings.

 

One great feature of Moonshine Meadow is the fruit and berry orchards.  Irrigated with a fertigation system and fenced to keep the wildlife at bay, you could harvest fruit and berries for yourself, friends, and family. 

 

The security at Moonshine Meadow is unmatched. With over 48 Cuddeback Cuddelink trail cameras integrated into two private wireless networks, you can receive images from up to 23 cameras per network sent directly to a central home device.

 

With equipment included for property maintenance, you benefit from immediate ease and convenience. Additionally, you'll have the tools necessary to tackle any projects you wish to undertake.
