680 Acres on the Ocmulgee River Conserved
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources recently announced the acquisition of a 680-acre recreational tract on the Ocmulgee River in Houston County. Tom Tuggle of Saunders Ralston Dantzler brokered the $1.8 million ($2,750 an acre) transaction. The Central Georgia property had been zoned for agriculture, but its size and adjacency to the Ocmulgee River made it an ideal candidate to be incorporated into the 13,450-acre Oaky Woods Wildlife Management Area. The land will be used for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities.
