Dating back to the early 1800s, Cabin Bluff had been a premiere destination for some of the world’s most iconic and distinguished sportsmen. Accessible by land, sea, and air, Cabin Bluff was also a highly desirable target for residential and commercial development. “For decades, management of Cabin Bluff has focused on stewardship and sustainability,” said Mark Lewis, senior vice president of WestRock’s land and development business. “We are pleased that The Nature Conservancy, an organization known for its commitment to protecting land for future generations, will now own this one-of-a-kind property.”
