The land features a private 8 acre lake, fully stocked with bream, crappie, and bass, and includes a screened-in pier for relaxing, entertaining, fishing, or enjoying the view. A good mix of terrain includes hardwoods, pines, interior trails, and natural corridors with good populations of both deer and turkey, plus ample opportunity to further develop food plots and habitat. With Alabama's hunting season approaching, it's ready for the next owner to step in and take it to the next level.
If a high-fence setup is desired, the natural shape and boundary lines of the property make it a strong candidate. The tract also adjoins several large landowners, creating opportunities to expand beyond its current footprint.
A gated entrance leads to a long private road, which splits at a fork one direction leads to the main house, the other to the guest house. The layout provides separation and flexibility for personal use, hosting, or income-producing purposes (think Airbnb or gameday retreat rentals).
Because of its close proximity to both Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, this property offers the rare chance to enjoy weekday hunts while still getting to and from work on time. Anyone who is from Tuscaloosa or Birmingham and is used to driving an hour or well past an hour to hunt will be excited about the possibilities this tract offers or simply enjoy it as a private primary homeplace with unmatched recreational value.
Main House (5,537 sq ft): 3 bed, 4.5 bath, 3-car garage, and private pool
HVAC systems on property updated with new units installed in 2019 and 2021
Generator at the main house for added peace of mind
Guest House (1,964 sq ft): 3 bed, 2.5 bath with screened porch and lake views ideal for a caretaker, family, or rental setup
Further note: With the possibility to acquire adjoining acreage, the scalability is real. This property could easily function as a commercial/semi-commercial style hunting lodge or corporate retreat. With a few thoughtful improvements, this tract offers significant recreational and investment upside without paying the premium of a fully built-out operation.
This is a rare opportunity to own significant acreage in a county where that is becoming increasingly hard to find. This tract is priced to build in exceptional value for it's new owner. The right buyer with the right vision will purchase an awesome property and turn it into a exceptional legacy tract that is getting increasingly harder to find in this area.
