History of of the Shenandoah Plantation

Shenandoah Plantation is located in the heart of the famous Alabama Black Belt, just west of Union Springs, Alabama. Union Springs is considered the Field Trial capital of the world and is famous in its own right for world class birddogs and quail hunting.

Herb Holmes, a famous bird dog trainer, used the property as training grounds for his bird dog training operation. In 1991 the training grounds were purchased and developed by a gentleman named Fred Rowen. Fred enlisted the help of Herb Holmes to help design and build the facilities which included the main house, a small 2 bedroom guest house, 3 lakes, horse barn, dog kennel, and flight pen. This is when the property first became known as Shenandoah Plantation.

In 2000 the property was purchased by new owners but the extensive wildlife management programs that were implemented stayed the same. These programs included managing the Trophy Bass lakes and enhancement of the other wildlife that live on and use the property. The lakes are now considered some of the finest trophy bass lakes in the area. Shenandoah offers commercial quail hunting and a state of the art 5 stand skeet facility, Continental (tower) Pheasant course, a 4 bedroom guest house and other amenities. We are now an exceptional, first-class, commercial hunting and fishing property that offers an extraordinary hunting and fishing experience to its guests.
