The habitat of Springpond is managed primarily for wild quail, with established food plots and feed trails throughout most of the acreage. The owner keeps meticulous records of the number of coveys and population of wild birds. Records of every hunt and the game taken over the years are maintained by the owner as well as detailed management records of feed schedules. Of course not every acre of the property is used as wild quail habitat, many areas are prime Whitetail/Turkey habitat.

The den opens into the recently constructed section of the home that consist of a bar and 1400 sq,ft. entertaining hall that boast cathedral ceilings with exposed custom milled wooden beams and custom milled wide plank wood floors. The fireplace in the hall was built using old coble stones pulled from the streets of Birmingham Alabama and serves as a central focus and gathering point.
