The “Dutton Place” is the north half of the 975 acre Lick Skillet Plantation located just 35 minutes southeast of Tallahassee in the Lamont Plantation belt. It is an exceptionally beautiful property with abundant wildlife, water and a lot of family appeal. It is practically impossible to duplicate the attributes of this property on anything of its size, price range and location!

The soils here are exceptionally fertile. During the 1650’s, the area was the site of a Spanish Mission. It is an exceptionally beautiful property with lots of rolling red hills and natural timber. The Cody Escarpment runs along its south border and the topography drops off dramatically. It has two 5-6 acre lakes that could be either flooded duck ponds or bass ponds. It also contains 20% of a 20+ acre lake shared with one neighbor. “Whiskey Creek” starts on the property and runs into a cypress pond that commonly holds over 1,000+ wood ducks and teal. Brad Mueller mapped the quail program and there are over 25 food/brood plots just for quail. The game flow is incredible and the quality of the whitetails is high. The neighbor to the east has four Florida Buck Registry entries. Most neighbors also have high-quality recreational properties and practice QDMA. Turkey numbers are also high.

It is in a great neighborhood among 50,000 acres of other plantations owned by the likes of Ted Turner, TK Whetherell and Whit Foster. It is less than ten minutes to two interstate interchanges and located right off four-lane US HWY 19 (Appalachee Parkway). It is an easy drive of less than thirty-five minutes from Tallahassee. There is plenty of road frontage with almost two miles on both Federal Road, which is the old “Kings Road” and York Road. The higher and better use of this property is significant. The current density is over fifty homesites. The value of the homesites clustered on the three lakes is tremendous. The property would also make an exceptional conservation subdivision. There is currently no conservation easement in place. However, a significant amount of the conservation easement documentation and requirements are complete. The conservation easement donation is conservatively valued over $1.5M for a direct tax savings to the owner estimated well above $1,000 per acre. This property excels in all aspects from recreation, aesthetics, and value.
