He's referring to the fact that for the first time since the 1950s, Cabin Bluff has come on the market. Will it remain a tribute to its storied heritage, or does the future hold a new vision for this ancient hunting ground? Consider for a moment that Camden County and the State of Georgia are currently pursuing the development of Spaceport Camden just down the road from Cabin Bluff. The goal is to create a world-class spaceport and aerospace industrial park just minutes away. "There's a lot of optionality with this property. Cabin Bluff could be purchased by the state or by a federal interest; it could be purchased by a wealthy individual who wants a tax break through a conservation easement; or it could be carefully developed with a master plan," Taggart says. Jot down a short list of world-renowned getaways nearby — Sea Island, Saint Simons Island, Amelia Island, Jekyll Island, Cumberland Island — and the value of such a seaside tract quickly becomes apparent. "Much of the coastal land around here has either been poorly developed, overdeveloped, or placed under easement, with the exception of the Bluff tract," Taggart says. "Cabin Bluff is like the Austin Healey that's still sitting in an old farmer's barn in mint condition. It's just waiting for the right individual." Then and now, everyone gathers at the end of the day to tell tall tales, give gear a once-over, and love on a favorite pup.
