About This Home

1709 Poplar Ridge Road

Fernandez Legacy Retreat is a well-designed hunting and recreational property located near Ellaville in Schley County, Georgia. Encompassing 81.342 surveyed acres, the property features a 3,345-square-foot custom home situated among rolling hardwood hills, along with a collection of improvements created for hunting, outdoor recreation, and entertainment. The property was designed and developed by Manny Fernandez #75, former Miami Dolphins player, member of the legendary 1972 Dolphins-the only team in NFL history to complete a perfect 17-0 season-and a true sportsman with a lifelong passion for the outdoors. His appreciation for time spent with family and friends, along with the pursuit of wild game, took him on adventures around the world. Fernandez Legacy Retreat became his place to bring those experiences home, with each feature thoughtfully developed for hunting and enjoyment of the outdoors. The custom home offers four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. At the center of the home is a large trophy room and great room that provides a comfortable place for family and guests to gather around the fireplace. A cedar-lined gear room offers dedicated storage for hunting equipment and outdoor gear, while the large garage provides additional space for vehicles and recreational equipment. The new 5-ton HVAC unit provides reliable and efficient heating and cooling throughout the home. Adding to the appeal of the property, many of the furnishings and contents will convey with the sale, allowing the next owner to immediately enjoy much of what makes the retreat unique. Included are two heavy-duty gun safes, furniture, paintings, and numerous additional furnishings and items throughout the home. This provides a rare opportunity to purchase not only the property itself, but also many of the pieces that have been part of the retreat and its history. A spacious covered back porch was built for year-round enjoyment and entertaining. Overlooking the private hardwood setting, it provides an ideal place to relax after a morning hunt, gather with friends, or enjoy the quiet surroundings. A separate grilling pavilion expands the outdoor living space, while a Generac backup generator system provides added security and convenience. The property's rolling hills are covered entirely in mixed hardwoods, including numerous mature, acorn-producing white oaks. This natural food source, combined with ample cover and year-round water, creates quality habitat for deer, turkey, and small game. An established interior road system provides access throughout the property. An approximately 10-acre beaver pond adds another dimension to the property, offering opportunities for duck hunting and fishing. The combination of hardwood ridges, lowland habitat, water, and limited disturbance creates excellent wildlife habitat. Additional improvements include a 30' 40' Quonset-style shop with a dedicated wild-game processing room. A private shooting range and range house provide a convenient place for target practice without leaving the property. Beyond the recreational features, Fernandez Legacy Retreat is located within the Schley County School System, a highly regarded small-town school district serving the Ellaville and Schley County community. Schley County Elementary and Schley Middle High School have both performed well in recent statewide comparisons, adding another attractive element for buyers looking to make the property a full-time residence. Fernandez Legacy Retreat is a thoughtfully developed sporting property shaped by Manny Fernandez's love of the outdoors and his desire to share that experience with family and friends. From the trophy room and outdoor entertaining areas to the hardwood hills, pond, recreational improvements, and many furnishings conveying with the sale, every part of the retreat contributes to its history and continued enjoyment.
