Located just outside the charming town of Gilbertown, this 96 +/- acre property offers an excellent combination of recreation, wildlife habitat, and future timber investment in one of southwest Alabama's well known hunting regions. Whether you're looking for a hunting retreat, a family getaway, or a long-term land investment, this property is ready to enjoy from day one.
A gated entrance welcomes you onto the property where you'll find a potential campsite, making it easy to spend weekends in the woods. The owners have recently invested in improving the internal road system, providing convenient access throughout the tract, and several new food plots have already been pushed out and are ready for planting this season.
The timber consists of approximately five-year-old regeneration, with a mix of naturally regenerated stands and planted pine plantation, creating exceptional bedding cover and natural forage for wildlife. During my visit, I observed deer, turkeys, doves, and other small game throughout the property, with several gobblers feeding in the pasture just before entering the tract.
James Creek winds through the property alongside another stream, providing a reliable water source while creating beautiful hardwood Streamside Management Zones (SMZs) that add both diversity and scenic beauty. A natural slough on the property holds water during the winter months and regularly attracts ducks. With minimal work, it could easily be converted into a managed duck impoundment for those looking to expand the recreational opportunities even further.
The land features gentle rolling topography, making it enjoyable to explore while offering excellent habitat diversity across the tract.
The seller currently allows a neighboring landowner access across the eastern side of the creek. While there is no deeded easement, this arrangement has little impact on the overall usability or enjoyment of the property.
