The Caver Mini Farm is a beautiful 43± acre unrestricted mini farm in rural Chilton County, Alabama, featuring rolling fenced pasture, multiple ponds, and excellent potential for cattle, recreation, or a quiet country homesite.
Property overview
• 43± acres located off County Road 15 near Maplesville in unincorporated Chilton County, AL (Parcel ID 2404170000006000).
• Attractive, reasonably shaped tract with rolling hills and a good north–south contour, with lower elevations toward the center of the property that help collect water and create scenic views.
• Unrestricted county land in a quiet, rural setting, suitable for mini farm, cattle, horses, or recreational use, subject to standard county regulations.
Land, ponds, and fencing
• Approx. 33± acres of open pastureland that is fenced and cross-fenced, with cattle fencing and gates remaining from years of family cattle farming.
• Around 10± acres of virgin timber provide shade, cover for livestock, and habitat for wildlife including deer and turkey, which the current owners regularly see on the property.
• Two primary ponds: a smaller pond 0.75 +/- Ac previously used as a catfish pond and a larger pond 1.5 +/- Ac currently used as a bass pond, both in good condition and ideal for fishing and livestock water according to the owner.
• A third older small pond adjoins the 0.75± acre pond and could be drained or combined into the larger pond to further improve water quality, aesthetics, and flow.
Structures and setting
• There is an old three-room cabin that adds character but will need to be replaced by the new owner. Entry to the cabin in the current condition is not allowed.
• An old wooden barn with metal roof provides equipment or hay storage and could be further improved for livestock use.
• The northeast boundary adjoins an Illinois Central railway corridor; while the line is not heavily used, it does form a clear boundary and may be a consideration for some buyers. And, the very occasional train passing by adds to the character of this rural location.
Access, utilities, and location
• Access to the rear portion of the tract is via a narrow dam beside the 0.75± acre pond, which adds character but should be evaluated for equipment and vehicle use.
• Power and public water are available along County Road 15, roughly 940± linear feet from the property line; a septic system will be required for any residence, which is typical for rural Alabama mini farms.
• The closest 911 address is 1555 County Road 15, Maplesville, AL, approximately 800 feet from the property, providing a useful GPS reference point.
• Amenities are truly rural: about 5 miles to the nearest grocery store and roughly 10 miles to the nearest gas station, making this an ideal tract for buyers seeking a remote and quiet country setting.
Wildlife and recreational appeal
• Mixture of pasture, timber, and ponds supports deer, turkey, and small game, consistent with the strong hunting and wildlife reputation of Chilton County.
• The combination of open ground for food plots, existing fencing, and year-round water makes this tract a solid candidate for a small recreational farm, weekend retreat, or full-time rural homestead.
This property is well-suited for a buyer who values privacy, livestock infrastructure that is already in place, good fishing ponds, and the chance to shape a classic central Alabama mini farm to their own vision.
