Rocky Ford
Nestled along the banks of the Ochlocknee River, the diversity contained within Rocky Ford is as unique as the property itself. Rarely does a property of this size, with all the amenities, wildlife, and recreational potential, come to market. The meandering river, with its white sandy banks, forms the centerpiece of Rocky Ford. The mature hardwoods found along this river corridor and feeder creeks, including graceful live oaks, provide ideal habitat and natural food sources for wood ducks as well as the large whitetail deer and prolific turkey population found within Rocky Ford. The land rises and unfolds beyond the river to reveal the classic rolling hills of mature longleaf pines and native wiregrass. These unusual wiregrass stands are an indicator of a pristine, untouched landscape and provide ideal cover and nesting sites for bobwhite quail, making them an essential component of the quality quail habitat found on the property. Another unique aspect of native wiregrass is its adaptation to fire. This plant is well-adapted to frequent, low-intensity fires, which are essential for maintaining the health and diversity of the longleaf pine ecosystem. The presence of native wiregrass at Rocky Ford indicates a healthy, functioning ecosystem that is well-suited to the natural fire regime of the region. These beautiful upland sites of Rocky Ford have been extremely well maintained and are well stocked with timber- a testament to the management and stewardship of its owners.
Situated overlooking a race and deep bend in the river is an original Frank McCall designed cabin. McCall, an area architect of great prominence, was well known for his harmonious blend of traditional Southern elements, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail, thereby creating timeless spaces. Heart-pine floors, a cozy fireplace and custom-built bookcases and gun cabinet create a classic, comfortable setting to gather. A second cabin was constructed in a similar style adjacent to the original to provide overflow housing for extended friends and family.

The diversity and multitude of land uses of Rocky Ford allow it to punch outside its weight, offering a wealth of opportunities and experiences typically found on much larger properties.
