Welcome to Old Fields
Old Fields is a 1,780 ± acre high-fenced Red Hills wild quail plantation located just 15 minutes east of Tallahassee and just a few miles from the Lloyd and I-10 interchange. The property is one of the famed Red Hills wild quail plantations and an outdoorsman’s paradise. There are bountiful live oaks, rolling red hills, one large floodable duck pond, pastures, several large bass ponds, and the famous Lake Drain.
Approximately 1,000 acres are under a high fence and stocked with over 200 Whitetails with some of the best genetics in Florida. Best of all, it is home to one of North Florida’s ten most beautiful natural features, Old Fields Canyon. It also borders Letchworth-Love State Park, featuring the tallest Native American mound in the State of Florida.

Old Fields contains one of the most significant archeological sites in Florida including the site of a “prehistoric city.”
The plantation offers all the amenities one could want in a year-round sporting property, including:
- Breathtaking Greek Revival home and guest lodges
- Lakes and creeks
- Stable and kennels
- Excellent wingshooting including ducks and turkey, plus monster bucks
In 1824, the territory’s first surveyors came across abandoned Native American fields and noted them in their journals—hence the name “Old Fields.”
Today, these “old fields” are a recreational paradise bounded by flowing streams and fertile red soil hills. Water from Lloyd Creek (flowing north) and the Lake Drain (flowing south) meet and go underground into the Floridian Aquifer, just off the property. This is one of the most beautiful and indescribable areas in North Florida.
Old Fields is one of the most intensively managed plantations in the belt. The quality of the wingshooting is first class; duck, dove, and quail hunting are spectacular.
The property’s “Big Pond” is one of the largest floodable duck ponds in North Florida and features four walkout blinds with additional permanent blinds.
Lake Miccosukee borders the plantation to the north and attracts some
of the highest concentrations of migrating waterfowl in North Florida.
Whitetail deer and turkey have also been intensively managed.
The groves of mature white oaks and pristine hardwood bottoms offer both natural feed and sanctuary.
