Sawgrass | 938± Acre Hunting, Fishing & Recreational Retreat - Sumter County, AL

Tucked just off Highway 116, Sawgrass is a 938± acre recreational property in the heart of Alabama's Black Belt. Previously used as a private hunting and fishing retreat, the property offers exceptional privacy, secured gated access, four stocked fishing lakes, established hunting areas, and a strong mix of open land, shade woods, water, and wildlife habitat.
