Turnkey Hartford Lake Legacy Property
This 518 ± acre property features Hartford Lake, a professionally managed 190 ± acre spring-fed cypress lake. The lake includes standing cypress trees and expansive areas of open water. With an average depth of ± 8 feet, Hartford Lake is a prime fishing lake containing largemouth bass, crappie, bream, and catfish. 200 striped bass were added ten years ago, and 2,000 Grass Carp were stocked in 2013. The lake was treated with herbicide in 2013 and again in 2024. The water level generally fluctuates about a foot depending on rainfall, and there is a well & pump to supplement water if needed. In addition to the lake, there are multiple other lakes and ponds, including a series of small ponds that used to be a catfish farm, as well as cypress ponds and open grassy wetlands. The property offers 117 ± acres of 2015 planted elite loblolly pine, 97 ± acres of mature natural hardwood/pine mix, 32 ± acres of grass fields/pastures, food plots, and a road network.
