395 Acres in Marion, AL - $1,450,000

Triple J Farm is a turn-key hunting and recreational property for sale near Marion in Perry County, Alabama. The owner purchased the original 166 acre part of this property in 2002, with the intent to develop and manage a piece of land for outstanding deer hunting and recreational enjoyment for his family and friends. In 2004, they built the beautiful cabin to use as a getaway from the hustle and bustle of their family business in Tuscaloosa. The cabin was built with a comfortable, rustic feel, with pine and cedar for the floors and walls. There are 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, and an open floor plan for the living room, dining area, and kitchen. A large screened porch was added in 2022, for entertaining and enjoying the outdoor feel and privacy on this rural retreat. A large, special outdoor television for use on the porch was installed, and will remain with the property. Over the years they were able to add more acreage to the orignal tract, acquiring 154 acres in 2013, and 75 more acres in 2017. The timber on the property is a mixture of hardwoods, varying ages of pine plantation (from 1990 to 2015), and a little bit of cedar ground that the deer love. The timber has been professionaly managed by a forestry company, and a written timber management plan is available to serious buyers. There are 43 acres +/- of the oldest pines that were sold last year, and are scheduled to be harvested in spring or summer of 2024. Harvesting these pines will open up more areas for the wildlife, and allow the new owner to create a dove field or larger food plots. The property is part of the Alabama Treasure Forest program. A 2 acre +/- pond was constructed early in their ownership, and was originally stocked by Southeastern Pond Management. In March of 2019, Locklear Sport Fish did an assessment of the lake, and it was determined that the lake needed 1500 3? to 5? bluegill and red ear sunfish and an additional 20 largemouth bass that weighed from 2-3 pounds. Those fish were added as recommended. The lake has produced some great bass, and it was designed with the intention of being a fun place to fish with grandkids and guests. The owner has been dedicated to his whitetail deer management, and has taken many nice bucks from the land through the years. There are approximately 17 hunting stands, with numerous food plots and mineral licks. All of the box blinds, tripods, ladder stands, and feeders that are out on the property will convey with the sale. In August of 2023, Dr. Grant Woods, nationally renowned wildlife biologist with Growing Deer TV, came to the property for a consultation with the owner. His recommendations for deer managent are available to serious buyers. This property has been well cared for over the past two decades, and it is now time for the new owner to put their touches on the property that will allow them the enjoyment the current owners have had.
