Rich History & Heritage

Since its inception in the early 1970s as a 20,000 acre corporate hunting retreat for Union Camp clients and executives, this property has benefited from continuous, long-term game and timber management. Early visitors, captivated by the lands sheer beauty and scale, eagerly sought invitations to experience its grandeur and wildlife populations. Though diminished in size from its former footprint, Ricefield Bluff remains a vital natural habitat, supporting a thriving array of indigenous and migratory species. Whitetail deer, Eastern wild turkey, Migratory Waterfowl, American Alligator and songbirds all flourish within its boundaries.

Uniquely Positioned

The Palmetto Bluff 20,000 acre asset was acquired by Walcam Land Group in 2000, the predecessor to the current owner Pioneer Land and Timber, LLC principals Chip and Chris Campbell. After 25 years of meticulous stewardship, Chip and Chris have decided to offer a 4951+/- acre portion of the retained 5700+/- acres called Ricefield Bluff Plantation. This tract is apart from the Palmetto Bluff resort and neighborhood which is currently limited to 4,000 dwelling units for sale. This tract has been solely managed for wildlife and timber perpetuating the health of this pristine ecological habitat for robust turkey, deer, migratory waterfowl and dove populations.

Drawing on the owner's intimate knowledge of the land, they have thoughtfully subdivided the southern portion of their asset to include 4951+/- acres all south of Myrtle Ford Road, without disturbing the continuity of the existing wildlife corridors throughout the property to preserve the land's natural features and characteristics.The 4951+/- acre asset for sale, a portion of the managed forest established in the Palmetto Bluff PUD, additionally includes a 36+/- acre portion of 8A which lies within the New Riverside PUD.

Included in the 8A asset are 3 New Riverside dwelling units with access to utilities along the New Riverside parkway offering a minor development opportunity to remain under private ownership and outside of the membership and dues requirements of the Palmetto Bluff Development. Despite the limited subdivision allowance, the larger Ricefield Bluff tract is uniquely positioned to continue providing world class hunting, ample revenue and tax credits through timber management, potential mitigation and carbon sequestration opportunities as well as a conservation easement incentive.

Mitigation proposal, Carbon Sequestration Study and January 2025 Timber Inventory are available upon request after Non Disclosure is executed by both parties.
