81 Acres in Addison, AL - $550,000

Here is a rare opportunity to own a farm with fertile hay fields and creek bottoms bordering the Bankhead National Forest. This property is conveniently located between Huntsville and Birmingham, only 25 minutes from both downtown Cullman and Smith Lake. The home is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse built in 1949. It sits on Sardis-Airport Road and is fully functional with all utilities, including county water. This home is currently used as a rental but is also suitable for a permanent or part-time residence. Beyond the farmhouse are 45 +/- acres of hay fields interspersed with timbered creek bottoms. These fields are currently cut for hay 3 times per year, and they can produce 5+ round bales per acre on the first cutting. If you would prefer to graze livestock, the property is fully fenced and cross-fenced into 2 paddocks, and more cross-fencing could be added for rotational grazing. A half acre food plot is already established in the northwest corner of the property, and several other hidden spots could be converted to additional food plots, old fields, wildflowers, or fruit orchards. The largest field is at the back of the property and is a major highlight of this farm due to the views, privacy, and tranquility. This field borders 2,500' of Bankhead National Forest which provides 1,000s of acres of additional land for privacy and enjoyment. Just off the property line is Horse Pond Branch, which is a large flowing creek. This branch creates a buffer between any public roads and the private property, making the Forest land bordering the property virtually inaccessible. A rocky creek makes up the east property border, and an additional mountain stream flows through the center of the property. There are several beautiful homesites spread all throughout the property. Lastly, 3 old cattle pond sites could be renovated. The combination of accessibility, water features, topography, and lush fields make this property extremely unique.
