11+- Acres with Custom Home & Little Tallapoosa River Frontage - Randolph County, AL

Overview

This beautiful 11+- acre property in Randolph County, Alabama, features a custom-built home overlooking the Little Tallapoosa River at Calhoun Bend. The setting is peaceful, private, and offers expansive river views in both directions, as well as a picturesque view of an oxbow horseshoe along this stretch of the river. With a mix of river frontage, wildlife, and usable acreage, this tract provides a rare opportunity just outside of Wedowee and less than an hour and a half from both Atlanta and Birmingham.

Custom Home & Layout

The 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is well-built and thoughtfully designed to capture the surrounding scenery. The main level features a spacious master bedroom with a large walk-in closet and an attractive master bath. The master also includes access to a private nook porch that directly overlooks the river--an ideal spot to enjoy the quiet setting.

An additional bedroom on the main floor offers flexibility and works well as either a guest room or an office with a river view. The home includes a large modern kitchen with plenty of workspace and storage, along with a separate pantry and a dedicated laundry room. The living room is warm and inviting, centered around a wood-burning heater.

Upstairs, a large bedroom/den area provides a versatile second living space with its own private bathroom. A covered deck on the back of the home offers another comfortable area for relaxing and enjoying the river.

River Frontage & Water Recreation

This property offers a unique stretch of frontage along the Little Tallapoosa River, positioned right at the headwaters of Lake Wedowee. From the dock, you can easily access the larger open waters of the lake for boating and fishing, while still enjoying the quieter, more scenic upper river that is ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and exploring. The combination of lake access and peaceful river water makes this location especially versatile.

A private dock with power and water is already in place, giving you immediate, convenient access to both types of water recreation. The river corridor is also excellent for observing wildlife, including ducks, geese, eagles, and other native species.

Land, Wildlife & Recreation

Beyond the homesite, the remaining acreage offers strong recreational potential with a mix of natural habitat suitable for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. It's a great setup for hunting, walking trails, or enjoying the outdoors in a private setting.

The land blends scenic appeal with usable space, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor activities.
