The 88.676 acre Melton Mill Farm and Cabin tract is the hard-to-find kind of turnkey property that seldom comes around. The farm has been well developed and nurtured by a true land steward, and he is ready to hand it off to the next land steward. The property offers a craftsman style one bedroom cabin with a bonus room used as a 2nd bedroom, multi-level deck with sink and grilling area, a stocked pond, annual row crop lease, mature upland oaks and other hardwoods with some pines, young planted loblolly pines in two age classes, established food plots, planted wildlife trees of various species, open pasture area between the pond and cabin, fenced and cross-fenced small pasture currently used for goats and a donkey next to the cabin, blueberry bushes, bee boxes (hives), gated and fenced entrance, gravel drive, three wells, shooting range, paved road frontage, privacy, and more. Deer stands and feeders are included, and equipment such as tractor and implements can be purchased if desired. Supporting outbuildings include an enclosed 600 square foot wired steel building on a concrete pad with a lean-to shelter for additional equipment storage, a large pole barn, a storage building, greenhouse, and animal shelters in the fenced pasture. The property and cabin must be visited to fully appreciate, and all aspects of the farm will beckon you to stay. The well-appointed pine sided cabin is constructed with impeccable quality and was designed with upscale finishes and intentional simplicity for low maintenance living. The result is a cabin that's ideal as a full-time residence or a luxury weekend retreat. The cabin interior looks perfect in our pictures, and somehow even better in person. Inside, the combination of knotty pine ceilings and floors with custom cedar counter tops in the open living area provide a warm and inviting setting. The roomy master bedroom is accented with herringbone Brazilian Rosewood flooring, and the spacious bathroom features tiled bath/shower and custom cedar countertops. The upstairs cubby bonus room has its own private entrance and upper level deck perfect for morning coffee and wildlife viewing. It currently serves as a perfect cozy bedroom and would also be a great home office. Speaking of views, the cabin is situated on a hill in the center of the property, providing spectacular property views from the well located and designed windows and the sprawling multilevel deck. Other features include a whole house water filter, tankless water heater, and a large brick fireplace. There is a termite bond. For the sportsman, the pond is a true wildlife magnet. Melton Mill Farm is situated on a ridge between the famed Ichawaynotchaway Creek and Wolf Creek to the west, and Walk-Ikey Creek to the east. The only known reliable wildlife water source around this area of the ridge is the pond Melton Mill Farm. The reliable pond water source complimented by a mix of mature hardwoods, row crops, food plots, established wildlife trees, natural wildlife corridors, and a history of supplemental deer feeding and low hunting pressure makes Melton Mill Farm an excellent hunting property for deer and turkey. Wild quail are often seen and heard as well. The 36.5 acre row crop field provides annual income via a farm lease to a quality farmer, and is a valuable wildlife food source. The field is planted this year in corn. The beautiful field with a gentle role and prime Tifton soils is a blank slate that is well used as is for row crops, and would make a nice CRP longleaf stand with food plots if that is more your style. Or, pasture or pecans or other specialty crops is a possibility. The 0.5-acre pond was stocked in 2024 with several varieties of koi, which are regularly fed with koi food. Largemouth bass were stocked in 2025. The pond also features a dock and an aerator. The water is conveniently supplemented with well water as needed during dry weather periods. There is a shooting range with a dirt backstop. The
