Location

Pixley Farm is located approximately 8 miles east of Athens, north of Hwy 175. The address is 7434 CR 4712, in LaRue.

Wildlife

The high-fenced area sets the stage for the next owner to establish whatever wildlife herd they would like, whether it is for wildlife viewing or hunting. Currently, there are blackbuck and axis deer that roam the wooded acreage. The fishing is good in the lake and the fishery was stocked originally with high-end genetic bass.

Water

The 4± acre lake was originally built in 1937 to support an old sugar cane and cotton farm. It is fed by natural springs and Alligator Branch Creek. The lake is perfect for boating, kids, recreational water sports and fishing. It was stocked with Florida-strain largemouth bass and bluegill.

The property is serviced by a private, deep water well which also supplements the lake as well as the irrigated landscaping. The well produces from the deep Carrizo formation with great quality water and production volume.

Pixley Farm also has a water meter in place should the owner decide to switch over to use the co-op community water at any time.  

Minerals

Mineral ownership is unknown. There is no oil and gas production.
