Chimney Hill offers a clean slate for buyers seeking a homesite or mini farm in the heart of Alabama's Piedmont region. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, the property is surrounded by rolling hills, picturesque valleys, timberland, and rural residential neighbors, with Bluff Springs Road tracing the tract's western boundary and providing approximately 1,800 feet of paved road frontage.
Access to the property is excellent, anchored by a well-established entrance and access road along with a well-established interior road system. The main access road was once a county road and has been privately maintained for the past several years. Power and water are both accessible along Bluff Springs Road, and property boundaries can be readily identified by recent survey flagging, old fencing, and survey pins.

Elevations across the tract range from approximately 960 to 1,020 feet above sea level, with terrain that is gently rolling in places and nearly level in others, offering excellent hilltop views. A powerline easement runs through the property, and the soils are rated well for timber production. The only structure on the land is an old chimney, lending the property its name and a clean, open canvas for future development. The surrounding area supports quality deer and turkey hunting, with multiple sightings and abundant sign confirming active wildlife use of the tract.
A timber harvest was completed in early 2025, leaving the harvested areas ready for reforestation, whether through natural regeneration or artificial planting. Genetically improved Loblolly pine is the recommended species, as soil reports indicate the property is not well suited for Longleaf pine.
Chimney Hill's location offers the best of both seclusion and convenience. The towns of Ashland and Lineville, each 10 to 15 miles north, provide dining, grocery stores, public schools, medical facilities, fire and police departments, and convenience stores. Outdoor enthusiasts will find Hollins Wildlife Management Area just 17 miles away for hiking and hunting, while anglers and boaters have easy access to the public boat ramps at both Lake Wedowee and Lake Martin, each within 25 miles. For regional travel, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is less than a two-hour drive away.
With paved road frontage, established road access, available power and water, and standout hilltop views, Chimney Hill is a rare, ready-to-develop tract for rural living, recreation, or small-scale farming.
