The tract is a few miles off US Hwy 431, giving you quick access to I-20 near Oxford, AL, in less than 20 minutes or to Roanoke, AL, in about 25 minutes. Both destinations offer a range of lodging, grocery, and dining options, with a major medical facility in Oxford. The Atlanta Airport is under two hours away, while Birmingham's airport is just over an hour's drive.

Access

Folsom Seventy-Four features direct frontage on Old US 431, now a paved county-maintained road, and includes a driveway leading to an interior logging road that extends to the southern boundary. Although the interior road has some washed-out areas, it is passable with a 24 vehicle with good ground clearance; however, a 44 is recommended, especially in wet conditions. Additionally, several smaller trails could be cleared for ATV or UTV access. The tract offers approximately 930 feet of frontage along Old US 431, which would provide direct access to power.

For those coming from Interstate 20, take exit 191 for US Hwy 431 and head south. If you're traveling from Birmingham, turn right off the interstate. If you are coming from Atlanta, turn left. Continue on US Hwy 431 for about 14 miles, then turn left onto Old US 431. Follow Old US 431 for approximately three miles; the property will be on your right. If you see the For Sale sign on your right, you've just passed the entrance.

Site Description

The Folsom Seventy-Four tract features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from approximately 980 to 1,120 feet above sea level. The land is well-suited for a variety of uses, including building, clearing for pasture, and timber production. It is also ideal for hunting, with abundant cover and multiple food plots already in place. Situated just minutes from Lake Wedowee, a 9,870-Acre reservoir renowned for its crappie and bass fishing, the property offers excellent access to boating and other recreational activities.

Timber

The tract was last harvested for timber about six to seven years ago and has since been allowed to regenerate naturally. The current vegetation is predominantly pine, with some hardwoods mixed in. For those interested in timber production, the property offers the potential to establish a new pine plantation. Consider seeking cost-share programs through the Farm Service Agency and Nrcs to support this initiative.

The natural regeneration is significantly advanced and would thus require significant mechanical treatment to prepare for replanting. Alternatively, the existing regeneration can be managed to achieve marketability over time, although this will take longer compared to a new planting. Additionally, an intermittent stream, which carries water during wet periods, runs north to south across the tract and serves as a wildlife travel corridor.
