The 27-year-old paid $39 million for a roughly 5,653-acre ranch in Georgia’s Decatur County known as Southlands, in what brokers say is one of the largest recreational land deals in the state’s history, according to a press release.

The property, which came to market in October for $42.5 million, hadn’t been publicly offered for nearly 90 years.

Well…that's it. The haters are disgusted. Jake Paul wins. He's now got enough land to never see another human again if he doesn't want to. Which is the entire point of everything - to make enough money to fuck off and throw phone in the trash. He won't, because he now needs to make money to maintain said land, but you get the idea. Waking up and looking out over your kingdom like Mufasa has to be the best feeling in the world. Here are some pics of the property to click through…

And a quick description: 

Set roughly 8 miles from Bainbridge, the plantation is a rare find in Georgia’s quail belt.

In addition to wild quail, the estate is home to trophy white-tail deer and features a variety of natural amenities, including 5 miles of spring-fed creeks, a stocked lake, a duck pond, a 60-acre irrigated field and direct frontage on Lake Seminole. Less than 3% of the land is wetlands.

Jon Kohler of Jon Kohler & Associates, who co-listed the property with Walter Hatchett, likened the significance of the sale to owning a sports franchise. “Southlands is an institution; it’s like owning your own professional football team,” Kohler told Mansion Global. “You get history, culture and traditions, and you’re a land steward dictating its future.”

The ranch includes a recently renovated 4,884-square-foot main lodge with eight bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half bath.

The grounds also hold a collection of updated and new outbuildings, including a four-stall barn for horseback and quail hunting, a manager’s house and guesthouse, a pavilion, an equipment shed, a workshop and a cooler facility for game processing.

Apparently he used most (or all?) of his earnings from the Tyson fight to buy it. Money well spent, brother. That said, the house…kinda sucks? I get that you're paying for the land but still. I'm sure he'll renovate. Regardless, shout out to Jake Paul. What a fucking dream.
