Property Highlights

• Rare Large-Acreage Contiguous Property: Waterfall Valley encompasses 4,225 acres. Approximately 56% of the property lies on broad ridges that have been under active forest management for nearly 60 years. The remaining acreage rests below the high walls that rim the valley. These high walls form an almost continuous barrier around the landscape, helping preserve its natural character. While several access roads provide safe entry and exit, limited access has allowed the valley to remain relatively untouched for generations. Timber operations occur on the upper ridges, while the valley below retains its geology, history, diversity, and beauty.

• Minutes from The Shoals: Located just 15 to 20 minutes from The Shoals area and approximately 30 minutes from Northwest Alabama Regional Airport. The Shoals consists of Florence, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and Muscle Shoals, with a combined population of approximately 79,000 residents. Huntsville is about an hour away.

• Dramatic Topography and Views: Undulating terrain features deep hollows near the 500-foot contour, ascending to prominent ridges exceeding 900 feet at Timber Knob, offering spectacular panoramic views of the North Alabama landscape.

• Abundant Water Resources: An extensive water network includes Waterfall Branch, Dry Creek Branch, and Long Creek, which flow through scenic hollows, creating seasonal waterfalls, flowing streams, and shaded creek ravines.

• Diverse Timber Profile: A balanced composition of managed pine plantations and mature hardwood valleys provides both ecological diversity and long-term timber investment potential.

• Geological Features: Steep sandstone and limestone bluffs, natural rock overhangs, exposed outcroppings, and 41 remarkable waterfalls create a truly unique landscape.

• Exceptional Habitat and Wildlife: Rugged ridges, sheltered hollows, and abundant water provide excellent cover and travel corridors for wildlife, creating premier habitat for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, songbirds, native amphibians, and many other species.

• Turnkey Hunting Lease: A respected hunting club has leased the hunting rights for more than 62 years and has been an excellent steward of the property, maintaining roads and food plots while helping monitor the land. The lease may be terminated or assumed by the new owner.

• No Permanent Restrictions: The property is free of restrictive covenants, life estates, and conservation easements, providing flexibility for future management and recreational use.

• Existing Timber Lease: The property is subject to an existing timber lease that expires on September 29, 2027. The timber lease is available for inspection upon request.
