Clayland Homestead epitomizes the Suwannee County gentleman’s farm. Its income potential is unmatched, featuring a highly intensive pine straw operation generating $22,000 annually, varied stands of longleaf and slash pine across multiple age classes (40 acres of 2-year slash, 40 acres of 4-year slash, 50 acres of 5-year slash, and 118 acres of 9-year longleaf pine), and 140 acres of irrigated farmland with a 12-year-old pivot leased for farming. The property has recreational opportunities abound, with trophy whitetail deer, dove hunting, and fishing on the large 1.6+/-acre pond. The property’s design balances agricultural use and outdoor recreation seamlessly. Nestled beside a beautiful pond, the 3,200-square-foot lodge, built in 2010 features tall cathedral ceilings, large inviting rooms, and 4 bedrooms with 5.5 bathrooms. The home also features a two-car garage.
The surrounding landscape is meticulously maintained, from landscaped cypress ponds to productive farmland and forestry operations. Additional infrastructure includes a newly constructed red equipment barn with a concrete slab and four double-sided garage doors, a second equipment barn with a dirt floor, and a fully fenced boundary with five-strand barbed wire. A rifle range is currently in construction. The gated entrance ensures privacy and increases its Social Storm™ property attributes.
At the heart of the property lies a historic homestead, celebrated throughout the county for its architectural character and enduring legacy. The original 1800s home and shed - with shingle siding reminiscent of Nantucket - add a layer of authenticity and heritage to the estate.
