Description

Rare opportunity to own approximately 134 acres of unrestricted land in Morgan County, Alabama, offering an excellent combination of accessibility, buildability, privacy, and recreational potential. The property features frontage on Holmes Drake Road along with additional legal access from Wilhite Road, providing multiple points of access and added flexibility for future use. A large opening has recently been created and provides an excellent setting for a home, cabin, barndominium, or weekend retreat. Power is already on the property, and water is available at the road, making this tract well suited for someone looking to build without starting completely from scratch. One of the property's standout features is more than 40 acres of very level ground that could be readily cleared and converted to pasture. This portion of the property offers excellent potential for horses, cattle, livestock, hay production, additional fields, or simply creating a large open landscape around a future home. A newly improved internal road system provides convenient access throughout much of the acreage. The property also features a couple of smaller openings that could easily be utilized as wildlife food plots. Beyond the more open and easily developed portions, the terrain transitions into beautiful mature hardwood timber, rocky outcroppings, and a seasonal creek, giving the property plenty of character and diversity. The combination of timber, openings, water, and varied terrain provides excellent habitat for whitetail deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Despite its rural and private setting, the property remains convenient to several of North Alabama's major communities-approximately 18 minutes from Hartselle, 20 minutes from Cullman, 35 minutes from Decatur, and 35 minutes from Huntsville. Rural, private, and unrestricted, this property offers tremendous flexibility. Build a permanent residence, establish a horse or cattle property, create a hunting retreat, build a cabin, camp, ride ATVs, or simply enjoy the land as it is. With good access, utilities available, highly buildable terrain, more than 40 acres of level ground, mature hardwoods, wildlife, and numerous potential uses, this is a property that can be shaped to fit a wide variety of goals. This offering combines two adjoining properties under separate ownership into one contiguous listing.
