$ 359,400
120 acres in Dale County, Alabama,
Lucky 13 tract is an outstanding recreational and timber investment tract in Dale County less than 10 minutes from Ozark, AL. It is an ideal property to build a homestead or a nice hunting camp in the country. The 120-acre tract is a symmetrical quarter-mile wide by three-quarters mile deep, with paved road frontage along the SE corner. Accessible, yet secluded, the Lucky 13 tract is surrounded by large timber tracts and agricultural land which is great for the deer and turkey - and for the peace and quiet!
This is a genuine timber investment opportunity. The majority of this tract is in planted longleaf pine that will be eleven years old in December 2023. Longleaf pine, the predominant native pine tree in the southeast when the country was settled, is a hearty, drought-and-fire resistant species that flourishes in this area of the state. These trees were planted in 2012 through the NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program (WHIP). The new owner will receive all the benefits and proceeds from the thinning and eventual harvest of the trees but must agree to allow them to continue to grow to at least 15 years (2027). This tract could also be a candidate for a pine straw lease which would add an annual income stream to the investment.
The terrain, typical of this area, is rolling and includes some nice, level high ground creating beautiful views of the countryside. Some large hardwoods are scattered in the creek bed and along the property boundary lines. An unnamed creek runs from south to north through the middle of the property with a topography that could support construction of a nice pond. A large power line runs SW to NE in the east third of the tract. The power line is perfect for planting long food plots with extended shooting lanes.
With 115 feet of paved county road frontage, and power and water available at the road, this property is ready for new owners who want to manage timber, build a nice country home or a hunting camp. There are plenty of good build sites close to the road for convenience or tucked away in the woods for privacy. Annual property taxes are less than $250. Enjoy great hunting in the south Alabama outdoors while you manage your timber for future returns. Schedule a showing today!
