Bass Fishing Paradise, Eufala, Alabama This home and 115-acre recreational property is located less than a mile from world- famous Lake Eufaula, "Bass Capital of the World." A public boat launch at Lakepoint Resort is also 3 ⁄4-mile away, and can be seen from the private balcony of the impressive 4,800 sq. ft. home. This is the old home place of Tom Mann, who founded and owned Mann Baits and Hummingbird Fish Finders. He was one of the first to design artificial baits for bass fishing and multi-flavored jelly worms. The land consists of open areas, a mix of pines and hardwoods, and a five-plus- acre stocked lake on rolling topography. The wildlife is diverse, including deer, turkey, ducks, and hogs. The home features five bedrooms, 5 1 ⁄2 baths and a three-car garage. Additional lodging is available in the 1,900 sq. ft., three-bedroom, two-bath guest house. This is a property you have to see! $1,500,000 Buck Creek, Dillon, South Carolina The current owners have had this 283.5-acre property for about eight years. Following a year of design work, they began construction on what is now one of the finest gentlemen's walking field trial properties in the county. After taking about half of the land out of crop production and establishing native, warm-season grass, they began the plantings that now make up the hunting courses. Additional plantings provide one of the finest annual invitational dove hunts in the Southeast. There are attractive food plots for abundant deer and turkey as well. Buck Creek acts as a large buffer and provides incredible habitat for deer, turkey, bobcat, etc. An old tobacco barn was completely renovated into a 2,000 sq. ft., three-bedroom, 3 1 ⁄2-bath home. Floors in the bathrooms feature tile; those in the living areas are hickory. Every bedroom is finished in a different species of hardwood. Ceiling trusses for the great room were custom-engineered to be five-foot on center, instead of the common 24-inch on center, making the room very open and bright. Other feature s include true all-weather roads, a specially constructed "condo style" photography stand, and an eight-plus-acre pond constructed according to DNR Pond Management Design Criteria. The pond is full of 10-pound bass, thick "flatsides", and huge catfish. It also attracts numerous varieties of migratory ducks. The sellers are general contractors, so there are too many special custom effects to describe he re!
