The Lyons Tract is a 393 acre timberland and recreational property located in the Carlowville community of western Dallas County. This property offers a strong combination of managed timber, wildlife habitat, and year-round recreational use.
The tract features multiple ages of merchantable planted loblolly pine along with mature hardwood timber, particularly along the bottomlands of Cedar Creek, which runs through the property for approximately one mile. The creek corridor is a well-known area for deer, turkey, and duck hunting, and several of the propertys eight wildlife food plots (totaling approximately 4.5 to 5 acres) are located within these hardwood bottoms.
The topography across the property is rolling, with elevations ranging from approximately 120 feet along the Cedar Creek bottomland to around 360 feet in the upland area where the cabin is located. The cabin is tucked off Dallas County Road 416 and is accompanied by an equipment barn, making it well suited for weekend stays during hunting season or as a base for managing the property.
The Lyons Tract also benefits from approximately 0.8 miles of road frontage along Dallas County Road 416 and a well-maintained interior road system that provides access throughout the property, including the food plots, timber stands, and creek frontage.
This property offers a diverse mix of timber investment potential, quality hunting opportunities, and comfortable improvements, all located in a productive and well-known recreational area of Alabama.
