Piedmont Sporting Preserve has established itself as the premier upland bird hunting destination in the Carolina mountains, drawing members and daily guests from Atlanta, Charlotte, and across the Southeast. The preserve operates year-round with released bird hunting from September through March and sporting clays available daily. Corporate events and group outings provide significant revenue, with the facility hosting everything from team-building days to charity shoots. The membership model creates predictable recurring revenue while daily hunts and sporting clays keep the calendar full. With an experienced lodge manager and bird crew already in place, the operation runs efficiently with minimal owner involvement required.

The property’s Blue Ridge Mountain setting offers both natural beauty and accessibility—just 90 minutes from Asheville and 2.5 hours from Atlanta. The habitat has been professionally managed for optimal bird hunting, with a mix of native grasses, food plots, and strategic cover. Recent investments include upgraded clay target equipment, clubhouse renovations, and expanded parking facilities. The business comes with all licenses, permits, and insurance transferable to the new owner, along with supplier relationships that have been cultivated over years. For buyers seeking a turnkey sporting operation with multiple revenue streams and strong regional demand, Piedmont represents an exceptional opportunity in the growing sporting tourism market.
