The fate of “approximately 1,000 acres of coastal marshland worth “well over $100 million,” was up before consideration by the Court of Appeals on Tuesday, as the intermediate court was asked to determine whether the land rightfully belong under private ownership or to the state.

The disputed area is a peninsula of coastal marshland called Arnold’s Point, located on a sharp bend of the Ogeechee River in Bryan County, just south of Savannah. The plaintiff-appellant, a company called NoFree, wants ownership to “restore and conserve” the land, according to its appellate briefs, but it’s subject to the state Protection of Tidewaters Act—unless NoFree can rebut the state’s claims and prove a chain of title stretching back to the state’s original 1834 property grant.
