About this land

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.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
