A 1,442-acre property in Leary, Georgia is listed for $8.85 million. The estate centers on a private 250-acre lake created by a dam on Ichawaynochaway Creek. The buyer owns the entire lake and controls all boating and hunting activities on it.
Cordray's Mill operated as a resort in the early 1900s through at least the 1960s, with a dance hall and swimming lake. The property retains several structures from that era. Two houses total six bedrooms and two bathrooms. One is a converted church with four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. Another structure is a converted grain silo with one bedroom and one bathroom. Several additional cabins provide living space.
The land includes irrigated farmland and timberland alongside the waterfront. Listing agent Jon Kohler with Jon Kohler Associates describes the property as offering "almost every great habitat that Southwest Georgia has" on one parcel. The lake takes approximately five to six hours to travel around.
Kohler notes the property appeals to trophy whitetail deer hunters and those seeking waterfowl and turkey hunting. He also mentions the property could serve as what he calls a "social storm property," a term he trademarked, referring to land purchased as a precaution against future disruptions.
