Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Helena, Alabama
8116 Madison Ave, Helena, AL 35080
A one-of-a-kind estate in Helena, set on a private wooded lot with 3,500 feet of Cahaba River frontage. Here, everyday life feels like a retreat. Mornings start with coffee on the covered deck overlooking the trees, and evenings end by the fire in a soaring two-story great room framed by walls of glass. The chef's kitchen and wet bar make entertaining effortless, while the primary suite offers a private escape with its own fireplace, spa-inspired bath, and custom closet. Upstairs bedrooms feature en-suite baths, and the walkout lower level, with a second full kitchen and living space, is ideal for hosting guests or extended stays. Craftsmanship shows in every detail, from the stone and brick exterior to the arched mahogany doors and iron-baluster staircase. All of this is in Helena, a close-knit community with excellent schools, parks, and the Cahaba River at your doorstep. Rare, refined, and made for living well.
