This 146-acre property in Talladega County, Alabama, offers a diverse combination of hardwood ridges, mast-producing trees, and home site potential. Located near Childersburg, with frontage along McGowans Ferry Road, the land provides a balance of accessibility, natural habitat, and scenic views. The tract features approximately 3,600 feet of road frontage, giving buyers options for access and potential future division. McGowans Ferry Road connects easily to Highway 280, which is only a short drive away. This proximity to a major corridor provides convenient access to surrounding towns while maintaining the rural setting. Much of the acreage is covered in mature hardwood timber, including a strong presence of white oaks across the Katala Hills ridges. These oaks, along with other mast-producing species, supply seasonal food sources for wildlife. The combination of timber diversity and natural topography supports habitat for deer and turkey, which regularly use the ridges, drainages, and low-lying cover. The terrain is varied, with rolling hills leading to elevated ridgelines. From these high points, long-range views of Lay Lake can be seen. The elevation changes not only provide visual appeal but also create diverse land uses and management opportunities. The ridges, benches, and bottoms each contribute unique features to the tract, whether for timber management, wildlife, or recreation. A trail system runs through portions of the property, making it easier to navigate by foot or ATV. These trails connect ridges, food sources, and access points, helping with both recreational use and land management. The internal access is an asset for wildlife management, timber work, or simply exploring the land. Utilities are available along the road frontage, supporting residential or recreational building potential. Several sites within the property could be considered for homes or cabins, with options for both privacy and scenic views. The availability of power and road access reduces development costs for buyers considering construction. In addition to residential potential, the tract holds long-term timber value through its hardwood stands. The mature trees, particularly white oaks, contribute both aesthetic and economic benefits. Timber harvests, if managed carefully, could balance habitat improvement with financial return. This Talladega County property provides acreage with natural beauty, mast-producing timber, and infrastructure that supports multiple land use possibilities. With its ridge views, utilities, and access, the tract is well-suited for those seeking recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, or future rural homesites. Give me a call for more details.
