Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Sylacauga, Alabama

Land plus more. Summary at bottom of listing.

LOCATION

160 acres of gorgeous private property in southeast Alabama near the very cool "Marble City" of Sylacauga, Alabama. Friendly small town with population 12,779. An hour from Auburn (War Eagle) an hour from Birmingham, an hour from Montgomery. The property is only 2 miles off a Hwy 280 East exit, 21 miles above Alexander City/Lake Martin. 16 miles to Lay Lake. 8 miles to Coosa River. 5 miles to Lake Howard. You will be hard pressed to find another convenient chunk of balanced land for recreation and quiet living anywhere. A newly paved road leads into property. No trespasser issues.

LIVING AREA

Has 2 cabins and a new 30x30, 12ft tall pole barn on concrete pad. Super rare - a solid road system throughout the property. Plenty of room for future buildings. A year-round running creek with several feeder creeks making wildlife abundant including big healthy deer, turkey, red and grey foxes, bobcats. I have kept the coyote and raccoon population way down with trapping and thermal scope killing. That's the most fun you will have with your pants on (if you can stay awake at night) and turkey population has flourished because of it. No hogs or bears here, so far.

Thousands of acres of Timber Company Land and National Forest Land on south and southeast borders. No one can get to this property from there because of railroad track and huge drop off with wide crooked creek as well. No ATV's are allowed on those properties anyway. It is quiet here. BONUS FYI: Actual gold has been found in one small feeder creek here.

HUNTING AREA

The entire property if you want. Deer and turkey even walk into front of both cabins at times. Multiple small green-fields with brought-in topsoil and mulch from Pursell farms. Twelve, 20ft high-end foot ladder stands. Acorns and Beech nuts abundant most years. Mass acorn crops about every 5 years. Several new fruit tree varieties planted.

Controlled burns every 3 years that keeps pine beetles and ticks in control, plus gives deer and turkey cover and nutritious browse. Land management practice advice followed here from professionals at State of Alabama concerning both timber and wildlife benefits.

Giant bucks come to chase doe here from Timber Company and National Forest property during deer buck rut from late December through February. Alabama has a long liberal deer season, Oct 1 through Feb 10th. I have multiple game camera pictures and videos! Talladega County has such abundant turkey populations that we have a spring and fall season, very rare.
