Acreage Near Smith Lake Featuring Mature Timber And Underground Springs

Located in the Arley community, "The Heart of Smith Lake", this picturesque property is unrestricted, making it a perfect place to build a retreat or full-time residence. The property has 1,000 feet of paved road frontage on CR 63, and public water and electricity are available. The land is bounded by Smith Lake, and there is convenient public access at both Brushy Creek and Rock Creek, and Duncan Bridge Marina is only minutes away. The land is all wooded with a nice mix of mature loblolly pines and hardwoods, including poplar, beech, and red and white oak. There are multiple underground springs, one of which tumbles over a rock bluff, creating a small waterfall during the rainy season. The topography is rolling with a total elevation change of 100'. There is an abandoned homesite near the southwest corner of the property. It is well elevated, and this would be an ideal spot to build a barndominium overlooking the spring and timber. Arley has a small grocery store, which is only 40 minutes from Cullman, and it is 1 hour away from Birmingham and Madison for all shopping, health care, and conveniences. Smith Lake spans over 21,000 acres and reaches depths of over 200 feet.
