S P R I N G 2 0 1 7 | The LandReport 65 LANDREPORT.COM Silent Cal was a fierce supporter of racial equality. In his first State of the Union address, he declared that the rights of 12 million "colored people" were "just as sacred as those of any other citizen." He also sought to make lynching a federal crime. Later, he signed the Indian Citizenship Act, which granted citizenship to all US-born Native Americans. The Coolidge Tavern still serves five-course dinners that rival any big-city fare. Mementos from long-forgotten hunts decorate the walls of the rough-hewn lodge. The lodge's main room, with its magnificent rock fireplace and leather furnishings, reeks of Old South. One look and you can hear the Bourbon being poured and smell the cigars being clipped. All told, the main compound and adjacent six-hole golf course designed by Davis Love III occupy less than 200 acres. The remaining 10,000 acres — the hunting grounds, the transitional lands, and the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway — are much the same as when the Coolidges visited. "Cabin Bluff has been kept mostly intact, and that's a very unique feature," says LandVest's Jonathan Burt. "It's a peninsula that has remained pristine and mostly undeveloped. It's the longest distance of undeveloped coastline waterfront on the Georgia coast, and that's unique." Overly developed resorts such as St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, and Amelia Island can be found less than an hour away. Yet the country's oldest hunting club has also been permitted as one of the largest developable properties on the Georgia coast. The property currently features special zoning as Cabin Bluff Planned Development District, which allows for a wide range of residential and resort opportunities. This includes approximately 10,000 residential units and over one million square feet of commercial development.
