Magnolia Camp
Magnolia Camp is a beautiful woodland compound with 450’ +/- frontage
on the Satilla River. It’s perfect for hunters, artists, birders, kayakers,
or anyone who loves the outdoors. Located in Camden County, Georgia,
Magnolia Camp offers a quiet getaway just an hour from Jacksonville and a
half hour from Brunswick. The property has been used by writers, musicians
and naturalists as a retreat from modern distractions and a base camp for
outdoor activities.
The property consists of a beautiful carpenter-built cabin (1500+/- SF), small guest cabin (300+/- SF),
and barn/shop (2000+/- SF) on approximately 6 acres. Along with the 4 other members of the Satilla
Club North homeowner’s association, the owner of Magnolia Camp is part owner of 32 acres+/- acres
of conservation property and has access to an additional 204 acres +/- of conservation easementprotected woodlands with miles of Satilla River frontage. Hunting for deer, hogs, turkeys and coyotes is
allowed within the conservation property. Home ownership also provides access to a small boat ramp.
The cabin is perched at the crest of the sandy bluff above the floodplain swamp of the Satilla River, so
it is shady and breezy in summer and has beautiful sunset views through the trees. The bluff slopes
through mature hardwood forest down to the starkly beautiful swamp of the Satilla River. The swamp
is dry for over half the year, providing endless hiking through a park-like open forest of cypress and
gum with an understory of grasses, palmetto, and blueberries. One developed trail to the 32 acre
conservation area includes timber bridges that allow mountain bike or 4-wheeler access over the
sloughs and out to a gorgeous white sand beach on a deep bend. The Satilla River itself is remarkable:
clean, tea-colored water flowing over white sand, endlessly looping back and forth in a mix of deep
holes, sandy flats, sloughs, and sandbars. The Satilla has excellent water quality and is well-known for
its healthy population of fish and mussels, including some of the best shell cracker fishing around. At
night, the star-filled sky is unmarred by any lights and the only sounds are the calls of barred owls and
tree frogs.
The cabin is constructed of local pine with cypress interior siding. Some of the ceiling rafters were
salvaged from the original causeway to St. Simons Island. Windows and doors were crafted in the
woodshop on site. One large bedroom upstairs has its own master bath. There is a half bath downstairs
and a refreshing outdoor shower. A sitting room downstairs could be made into another bedroom. The
living room has a very well-functioning brick fireplace. There is a small screened porch and a larger
deck. A brick patio has a large syrup kettle for a fire pit.
The guest cabin is one room with a kitchenette and a half bath. There is a large deck with an outdoor
shower. The outdoor tub on the deck is the favorite of all the guests. A brick patio with fire pit is
adjacent to the deck.
The barn has a concrete floor. It is currently used as a woodshop, but its large interior space will
accommodate any use. There are large sliding doors on either side. Shed roofs provide additional
outside storage. Outside stairs lead to a loft space that is partially finished as a studio apartment with
a bathroom and kitchenette area. In addition to the barn, there is a woodshed at the main cabin and
a lumber storage shed near the barn. Cleared land between the barn and cabin provides wonderful
garden space.
All buildings have electricity and well-supplied water. The main cabin has heat and air conditioning.
Access to the property is via Douglas Fish Camp Road, a county-maintained dirt road.
Camden County taxes are $2450 per year.
Satilla Club North Home Owner Association dues are $400 per year.
Price: $350,000 payable in cash at closing.
