Access

The tract is currently accessible by an existing gravel entrance that provides access to the entire property. There is approximately 0.6 miles of gravel driveway that connects to an additional 2+ miles of interior woods roads. All interior roads

were improved in 2024. The tract features approximately 500 feet of frontage along Alabama Highway 259 and immediate access to electricity.

Property Description

Equality Woodlands 2 is well-suited for timber production, thanks to its favorable location, well-drained soils, and quality timber type. The property's proximity to the highway, electricity, and open layout also make it an excellent place to build a house, cabin, or private getaway.

There are two thoughtfully cleared areas within the mature pine stand that provide a picturesque and practical site for building, both being adjacent to a well-maintained gravel driveway. For a more remote building location, there are several cleared off hill-tops within the recently clear-cut areas. The gently rolling terrain, with elevations ranging from approximately 580 to 720 feet above sea level, enhances aesthetic appeal and usability. The property boasts several perennial and intermittent streams, adding scenic charm and a useful water resource. The recent clear-cut, thinning, chemical release, and

prescribed burn have opened the view of the landscape, allowing for clear views across the entire property. The open views are broken up by hardwoods, and they were left for Streamside Management Zones (Smzs) during the last timber harvest, providing ideal conditions for wildlife habitat. The SMZs provide roosting areas and travel corridors for game species.

With a strong wildlife presence already, the property offers great hunting potential. Between the managed pine, open spaces, water access, and natural beauty, this tract is a true multi-use opportunity for timber, recreation, or a peaceful homestead.

Timber Resource

Equality Woodlands 2 features approximately 67 acres of 31-year-old loblolly pine, which was thinned two years ago. If timber production is a primary goal, this stand is financially mature and ready for harvest at any time. To continue maximizing growth and long-term yield, replanting with loblolly pine following harvest is recommended. In addition to thinning, the pine stand has recently undergone a midrotation woody release and prescribed understory burn. The release and burn help clear residual logging debris, enhance visibility by opening the understory, reduce the risk of severe wildfire severity, and significantly improve habitat conditions for wildlife. Since the burn, new green vegetation has emerged, offering high-quality forage that attracts and supports game species. If wildlife management or visual appeal is a high priority, a recurring burn scheduled every two to three years can help maintain these conditions.

The property includes 142 acres of cutover that were harvested in early 2024. The cutover received an aerial site prep chemical application in June 2025 and is scheduled to be replanted in Loblolly pine. The cutover will be planted with genetically improved containerized Loblolly pine seedlings on 12 feet by 8 feet spacing, resulting in approximately 454 trees per acre. The seedling and spacing were selected to optimize growth and quality while enhancing wildlife habitat. Once the seedlings are planted, they will be ready to be thinned in approximately 15 years.

The property also includes 43 acres of hardwood-dominant bottomland that follows the natural course of the streams. While limited, timber harvest may be possible in these areas. Preserving bottomlands to preserve water quality, serve as wildlife travel corridors, and enhance habitat biodiversity is generally advised. This portion of the tract contains a good mix of hard mast-producing trees, such as oak, which provide important seasonal food sources for wildlife.
