Willow Oaks Homestead | Ozark, AL

Welcome to 655 Willow Oaks Drive in Ozark, Alabama, where nearly 50 acres, a newly built home, ponds, hardwoods, trails, and a substantial barn come together to create a property that is anything but ordinary. The property itself has a story to tell. Before becoming the private country setting it is today, portions of this land were once home to holes 15–18 and the driving range of the former Willow Oaks Country Club. What was once part of a local golf course has evolved into 49.42± acres offering a beautiful combination of open ground, mature woods, water features, wildlife habitat, and recreational land. It is a unique piece of Ozark history that today offers an entirely different way to enjoy the property. At the heart of the acreage is a custom-built home completed in 2025. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence offers approximately 2,492 heated and cooled square feet and 4,019 square feet under roof, combining modern comfort with the space and privacy of country living. Inside, an inviting open floor plan brings the kitchen and living areas together, creating a comfortable setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Granite countertops, durable LVP flooring, warm wood ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace add character throughout the main living space. The kitchen is complemented by an impressive 14–16 ft. pantry, providing an exceptional amount of additional storage. Overlooking the living room and kitchen is an upstairs loft that maintains the home's open, airy feel while adding valuable flexible space. This area could easily serve as an additional guest or sleeping area, home office, gym, or hobby space. The bedrooms are positioned away from the main living and kitchen areas, offering added privacy from the primary gathering spaces. Outside, the spacious wraparound porch may quickly become one of the most enjoyed parts of the home. It provides plenty of room to start the morning with a cup of coffee, take in views across the property, gather with family and friends, or simply slow down at the end of the day. Beyond the porch is where the acreage really begins to distinguish itself. Two ponds enhance the landscape, including one spring-fed pond and a second pond equipped with a new well pump and dedicated generator. The fishing is already established, with opportunities for crappie, bass, and bream right on the property. A creek winds through the mature hardwoods, while trails provide access throughout the acreage and invite you to explore more of the land. The combination of woods, open ground, ponds, creek, and established trails creates opportunities for deer hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, riding, and simply enjoying the outdoors. This is acreage that can be used and experienced—not just land surrounding a home. Adding another level of versatility is the impressive 46' x 64' barn with lean-tos. The barn is already equipped with water and electricity and is stubbed for plumbing, making it well suited for equipment and recreational vehicle storage, a workshop, hobby space, or potential future improvements. A 40' x 30' concrete pad provides additional usable space alongside the barn. A dedicated RV hookup with a city sewer connection provides another convenient option for an RV or visiting guests. The existing chicken coop and older ladder stands will also convey with the property. What makes 655 Willow Oaks Drive special is not any one feature, but the way the entire property comes together. From a custom home completed in 2025 to stocked ponds, fenced pasture, hardwoods, trails, a creek, hunting opportunities, and a substantial barn, every part of the property adds another way to enjoy the land. Add in its unique history as part of the former Willow Oaks Country Club, and this 49.42± acre property offers something increasingly difficult to find—a place with a story behind it, plenty of room to enjoy today, and the versatility to make it your own.
