One of the most unique tracts to hit the market in a generation is now available: a conveniently isolated, turn-key, riverfront property with lodges, waterfalls, excellent hunting, and diverse timber. Located on the Alabama River in the Suggsville community, an area rich with history where land is rarely available, renowned for quality timber production, large landowners, and fantastic hunting, minutes from Highway 84, a short drive from Grove Hill, Monroeville, multiple sawmills and pulp / paper mills, several airports, and just 1.5-2 hours from Mobile & Baldwin Counties. As you enter the property, you feel like you're in a national park as you're greeted by old-growth, unthinned timber. Both the main lodge and guest cabin overlook Cedar Creek, a wide, year-round creek that looks like a fly fishing river out of Montana, flows through the property for 3+ miles, offering multiple waterfalls and superb fishing, swimming, canoeing/kayaking, and ATV opportunities. The main lodge has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, a screened-in porch, an outdoor dining/rec room, and a new deck. The guest cabin is located out of sight but within walking distance from the main lodge, perfect for extended family, kids, or a caretaker. It has a full kitchen, 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a sleeping loft that could sleep ~10 people on its own. There's another small cabin nearby overlooking a massive waterfall that was used for cookouts, etc. in the past but could also serve as a bunk house if needed. The timber value appraised at over $4 million, consisting primarily of mature bottomland hardwood and upland pine/hardwood, with the balance in areas of pre-merchantable pine/hardwood and a cypress pond, providing diverse wildlife habitat and significant income opportunities through timber sales, carbon credit leasing, tax shelter, and mitigation credits. This area is known for abundant deer, turkey, small game, and waterfowl; this property is no exception. Mature whitetail bucks are seen regularly throughout the network of strategically placed food plots, turkey numbers and habitat are outstanding, the duck hunting opportunities are comparable to areas much further north, and you can also chase wild hog, squirrel, or rabbit. The ~1 mile of Alabama River frontage offers additional fishing, skiing, and boating opportunities along with significant conservation value. This tract is ideal for a conservation easement, with the probability it could pay for the property without affecting the intended use at all, all while ensuring it remains a legacy property. As you may have noticed, the reoccurring theme here is opportunity! This tract checks all the boxes, so don't miss your chance to see it.
