Rosewood Avalon is a beautiful Red Hills quail plantation consisting of 3,660± acres in Jefferson County, Florida, and in a neighborhood of other high-quality plantations such as Turkey Scratch, Oak Hill, El Destino, and Pinewoods. Rosewood Avalon is a beloved portion of the much larger 30,000± acre Avalon Plantation and has been managed for wildlife, notably quail, but offers excellent deer and turkey hunting opportunities along the hardwood edges and creek frontage. The quail courses meander through stands of gorgeous old pines and along beautiful rolling topography. The current owner has been one of our country’s most dedicated conservationists and Rosewood Avalon has been the beneficiary of his passion for land in how well it has been cared for over the years.

Rosewood Avalon is located in Jefferson County, Florida, in the southern region of the Red Hills plantation belt, approximately eight minutes south of Monticello with frontage on the Florida-Georgia Parkway (US 19), Highway 27, and WPA Road. In a neighborhood of other plantations and high-quality properties, Rosewood Avalon is adjacent to thousands of acres of Avalon and nearby to El Destino, Oak Hill, Turkey Scratch, and Pinewoods plantations. Of note, the Florida side of the belt is generally more sought-after due to the state’s friendly tax environment for those residing or those considering establishing residence in Florida.

LOCALE

Located between Thomasville, Georgia, and Tallahassee, Florida, the Red Hills Region is a 300,000-acre area known for its rolling hills, red clay soils, and diverse ecosystems. It had long been a winter destination for wealthy northerners who came for the mild weather and quail hunting. Sportsmen found that quail and other game flourished in the region and the fast burst on a covey rise was an excitement beyond comparison. It motivated these early landowners to pull together the resources to study and detail the best land management practices in these upland ecosystems. This is ultimately credited with leading to a restoration and preservation of inspiring proportions in the region. The Red Hills was designated one of America’s “Last Great Places” by the Nature Conservancy, and what it offers for a wing-shooting enthusiast and outdoorsman, simply cannot be found elsewhere.

Tallahassee is Florida’s capital city and home to three universities, several museums, two large hospitals, and a variety of shopping and dining options. Last year, it was ranked a top-ten southern city by Southern Living magazine. Thomasville is nothing short of charming and was recently labeled the second best historic small town in the country by USA Today. Its original brick roads have been uncovered along many of the downtown streets. Visitors enjoy delightful dining options, boutiques, and the many shops featuring everything from high-end sporting attire to locally-made handcrafted goods.

The iconic Jefferson County Courthouse stands at the center of town at the roundabout where the Georgia-Florida Parkway (US19) intersects with Highway 90. A historical inventory of the city identified nearly 600 buildings that were built before 1930. There are a number of casual dining options, boutiques and antique shops, a farmer’s market, and several historic bed and breakfasts. Jefferson County reaches from the Georgia line down to the Gulf of Mexico and, interestingly, is the only county in Florida without a single stoplight. ~ HISTORIC DOWNTOWN MONTICELLO

The property has benefited tremendously from being owned by a man that is very committed to the betterment of his immense land holdings. A beautiful and diverse property, Rosewood Avalon offers exceptional recreational hunting opportunities. When like-minded neighbors manage their land similarly, everyone benefits, and this property has great neighbors. There are eight quail courses that wind over rolling hills of beautiful mature timber. All hunters know that transition areas, commonly referred to as“edge,” create habitat diversity and having “edge” will hold larger populations of wildlife on a property. The landscape composition at Rosewood Avalon is ideal and largely why the property is so wildlife rich and “gamey.” Mature hardwood bottoms meander through the property, but in a unique way that keeps large swathes of upland habitat intact, which is important for the propagation of wild quail. Along these hardwood edges, wildlife food plots are found throughout the property and are regularly the location of successful hunts that produce 140-150+ inch class bucks. Of all the 30,000 acres at Avalon, the land manager said Rosewood is one of the best spots for turkey.

This makes the plantation a blank slate for new owners to come in and customize to best suit their own tastes and preferences and a new owner won’t be saddled with the upkeep of old and obsolete buildings, which is often an issue on a number of these longstanding plantations.

Rosewood Plantation’s history dates back to the 1830s when Burwell McBride moved to Jefferson County from South Carolina. It was a new frontier, but with fertile soils for planting, many opportunists migrated to the area and numerous plantations were established here by the mid-1800s.

Upon McBride’s death in 1848, the plantation was run by his daughter, Caroline, a widow, until 1855 when it passed to her son-in-law, Asa May, and his wife, Margaret. Asa May was noted as one of the wealthiest planters in North Florida at the time and served in various civic leadership roles after the War Between the States.

The original Rosewood house, built for Burwell McBride around 1836 soon after he arrived in Florida, is still standing and in beautifully restored condition. It is located on US 19 just north of Highway 27 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The house and an acre were divided out from the rest of the plantation sometime in the 1900s and is under private ownership.

Today, this part of the county is known as the unincorporated town of Capps. Blink and you’ve missed it, but at one time it was a bustling settlement. In the mid-1900s, Tungston Plantation was a 16,000-acre tung oil tree plantation, and Tungston unofficially became its own town with dozens of residences for employees, filling stations, a café, a mill, and even a bowling alley.

As a transaction broker, Hall and Hall Partners, L.L.P. provides to you a limited form of representation that includes the following duties: 1. Dealing honestly and fairly; 2. Accounting for all funds; 3. Using skill, care, and diligence in the transaction; 4.
