Description

Discover a rare opportunity to own a private homestead, hunting retreat, or recreational property featuring a diverse mix of open land, water features, and mature timber. Accessed by a private gravel drive, this +/- 61.5 acre property offers seclusion and natural beauty while providing a variety of potential uses. At the heart of the property lies an approximately 4.1-acre open field situated between two hilltops and bordering Murphy Branch Creek, creating an ideal setting for livestock, gardening, wildlife viewing, or future homestead improvements. An approximately 0.25-acre pond adds to the property's appeal and provides an additional water source for wildlife and recreation. The residence is a two-story, 4-bedroom, 2-bath home containing approximately 2,728 square feet, per county tax records, with roughly half of the living area located on each level. The home features two separate living areas-one upstairs and one downstairs-offering flexibility for family living, guests, or entertainment. An upstairs balcony overlooks the surrounding landscape and provides a peaceful place to enjoy the property's natural setting. A substantial shop/barn provides excellent utility for farming, equipment storage, hobbies, or workshop space. The enclosed portion measures approximately 30' x 40' and features insulation and a concrete floor. Covered overhangs extending approximately 20 feet on each side provide additional sheltered storage for tractors, implements, trailers, hay, or other equipment. Large sliding doors allow convenient access for larger machinery and vehicles. South of Murphy Branch Creek, the property is predominantly covered in mature hardwood timber with scattered pine, creating excellent wildlife habitat and opportunities for hunting, recreation, and enjoyment of the outdoors. The combination of creek frontage, pond, open field, timberland, home, and improvements makes this property well-suited for those seeking a country lifestyle, hunting property, weekend retreat, or working homestead. Whether you're looking to establish a self-sufficient homestead, enjoy exceptional hunting and outdoor recreation, or simply own a beautiful piece of Alabama countryside, this property offers a unique blend of privacy, functionality, and natural beauty.
