Camilla, Georgia (PRWEB) October 27, 2015 -- The Wright Group is pleased to announce the sealed bid auction sale of Nancemede Farms. Located in the Flint River farm belt of Mitchell County, Georgia, lies one of the most exciting opportunities to purchase premier farmland in years at a scale that is unheard of in the area. Nancemede consists of 3593+/- acres in total with approximately 2124 acres under center pivot irrigation. The combination of location, size, timber volumes, soil types, wildlife diversity, and water resources make Nancemede perhaps the most unique farmland offering and investment opportunity available in the southeastern United States.

With so much focus on the recent droughts that are devastating California and other agricultural regions across the West, the underlying value of quality, sustainable water resources has come to the forefront with both farmers and consumers. With 17 center pivot irrigation systems, supplied by 14 separate deep wells, Nancemede is the largest irrigated farm available in the region. Known for it's large scale row crop and sweet corn production, Nancemede is located in a area regarded as some of the most fertile farmland in the Eastern United States. This region of the state of Georgia is under a well moratorium that prohibits new permitting of wells within the Floridan aquifer. Accordingly, to recreate the permitted well infrastructure that exists on Nancemede today is simply not possible. This factor alone solidifies Nancemede's long term investment value and is what makes the property such a rare opportunity. "This is the ultimate income producing property for individuals or institutional investors, and a once in a lifetime opportunity for area farmers," states Ben W. McCollum, broker for The Wright Group.
Along with quality, tillable land, timber management has also been a long term focus. Almost every acre of available property that is not in cultivation has been utilized to create well balanced, mixed age class pine timber stands. The significant timber reserves range from pulpwood to saw timber and serve to complement the farming component by creating an alternate income stream. Current timber inventories have been established and are available for review as part of the comprehensive bidder packet. See link. http://www.wrightbroker.com/2015/08/nancemede-farms-coming-soon/.
