Rolling Ridges, Towering Hardwoods, and Trophy Whitetails
Located just west of Eufaula, this sporting property rests in the heart of Alabama’s hill country—one of the most naturally beautiful and topographically diverse regions in the Southeast. Here, rolling ridges meet deep hardwood bottoms – some dropping nearly 200 feet in elevation – creating a habitat ideal for trophy whitetail, abundant turkey, and year-round recreation. Surrounded by like-minded landowners who share a passion for wildlife management, this is an opportunity on a recreational property with lodge.
“You could be on top of a hill or 200 feet down in a bottom - and it’s gorgeous. You’ve got huge hickories, huge white oaks, and planted pines. When you’re out here, it’s all to yourself - it’s almost like you have your own world.” - Landowner, Chad Manning

"This property is all about hunting and adventure. It has the adventure feeling like going to an old fashioned deer camp with modern management and amenities. It has the same feeling I try in instill on my own property." - Jon Kohler
The Land
This natural diversity not only enhances wildlife habitat but also supports a strong, self-sustaining ecosystem with natural forage. Regular prescribed burns maintain the understory, improving both browse and accessibility. Multiple year-round creeks course through the hardwood bottoms, providing abundant water and natural travel corridors for deer and turkey alike.
“It’s hard to find hardwoods like this anymore. When I saw the green fields and those big oak bottoms, I made an offer immediately - it was unlike anything I’d seen before.” - Landowner, René Diaz
"This is one of those rare places with mature upland hardwoods. Its ideal for bow hunting. Every draw has a clear flowing creek. The terrain is beautiful. You know you are somewhere special." - Jon Kohler
Wildlife & Recreation
This region is widely regarded for its exceptional deer genetics. The current owners have implemented a protein feeding program for over three years, producing strong age classes and excellent body weights. Three-and-a-half-year-old deer regularly score in the 120s-130s, while mature five-year-olds exceed 150 inches. It’s not uncommon to see 15-20 deer from a single stand.
“We’ve even let a 14-point walk - that’s how you build the future herd. They don’t grow when they’re dead.” - Landowner, Chad Manning
Turkey hunting here is equally rewarding, though it demands skill - as birds are plentiful but wary. For bowhunters, the property’s rolling topography is a dream. The ridges and bottoms create natural travel corridors, staging areas, and secluded stands where deer move throughout the day under dense cover.
“Those bottoms are natural highways. It’s amazing to see the deer come through - eating acorns, socializing, easing their way up to the plots. You see deer here you’d never spot from a rifle stand.” - Landowner, Chad Manning
The Lodge
Designed for both efficiency and comfort, the lodge features two identical master suites and an open, vaulted living area perfect for entertaining. Constructed with R-38 insulation in the roof, R-22 spray-foam walls, and energy-efficient mini-split systems, the lodgte remains cool in summer and cozy through Alabama’s crisp hunting season.
“We don’t have Wi-Fi, and we don’t have TV. Everyone has a conversation - that’s my favorite part of this house.” - Landowner, Chad Manning
Location & Lifestyle
Although secluded, the property is conveniently located just 15 minutes from Eufaula—known for its Southern charm, boutique shops, and classic local dining. Golfers can enjoy the nearby country club, while long-range shooters will appreciate the world-class Barbour Creek Shooting Academy right down the road.
Eufaula is also home to some of the best year-round bass fishing in the country, hosting tournaments nearly every weekend. The 45,000 acres lake and its 640 miles of shoreline offer endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, and family recreation. Many owners enjoy mornings in the deer stand and afternoons on the water, chasing trophy largemouths under the warm Alabama sun.
“You can hunt all morning and be on the lake bass fishing that same afternoon. That’s what makes this place so special - there’s always something to do.” - Landowner, Chad Manning
Eufaula’s small-town charm shines year-round — from its historic downtown and classic Southern architecture to the shops and restaurants overlooking Lake Eufaula. The property also enjoys convenient proximity to larger cities such as Dothan, Columbus, and Montgomery, each offering expanded options for dining, shopping, and commercial airports. Whether a weekend retreat or a year-round residence, this property offers a rare balance of privacy, recreation, and timeless Southern beauty.
"If you haven't been to Eufala recently and seen all that's going on you will be impressed. This is a "SWGA style" resort town with fishing tournaments, shopping, boating and of course exceptional hunting." - Jon Kohler
