Description
Located along Owl’s Hollow Road just a few miles northeast of Gadsden, Alabama, this 50+/- acre property offers a versatile combination of productive pastureland, mature timber, established wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and scenic mountain terrain. With approximately 14+/- acres of fenced pasture, a pond, established hunting improvements and long-range views from the ridge, this Etowah County tract provides opportunities for agricultural use, hunting, outdoor recreation and a potential rural farmstead. As you enter the property from Owl’s Hollow Road, a stand of mature pine timber creates a natural buffer between the road and the open land beyond. This wooded frontage provides privacy and an attractive transition into the property's agricultural acreage. Beyond the pines, the landscape opens into approximately 14+/- acres of productive fenced pastureland. This open ground offers opportunities for grazing cattle, keeping horses, maintaining a small livestock operation or developing a farmstead, subject to applicable land-use requirements. A pond situated in the corner of the pasture adds another useful feature to the property. The pond complements the agricultural setting, provides a potential water resource for livestock and contributes to the overall habitat diversity. The combination of open pasture, wooded surroundings and available water creates an appealing setting for those interested in establishing a working farm or enjoying rural acreage near Gadsden. Moving beyond the pasture toward the base of the mountain, the property transitions into a well-positioned wildlife management and hunting area. A large, long food plot runs along the foot of the mountain, creating an established feeding area and hunting location. This area is particularly attractive because of its proximity to the mature hardwood timber covering the mountainside. The surrounding area supports strong populations of deer and turkeys, and the mix of hardwood cover, open feeding areas and varied terrain provides favorable habitat for both species. Existing shooting houses are already positioned along the food plot, providing established locations for deer hunting. The length and layout of the opening offer opportunities to observe wildlife along the transition between the mountain timber and open ground. For buyers looking for Alabama hunting land with improvements already in place, these features provide a useful starting point for continued wildlife habitat management and recreational use. Behind the established food plot, mature hardwood timber extends up the mountainside. This portion of the property offers a distinctly different landscape from the pasture below, with scenic hardwoods, natural terrain changes and the character of an Appalachian foothills setting. The wooded slopes provide opportunities for hiking, exploring, wildlife observation and hunting. The mature timber also contributes to the property's natural beauty and offers the potential for continued timber management. One of the notable features of this 50+/- acre tract is the long-range view available from the ridge. As elevation increases, the property offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape. The ridge offers a rewarding destination for hiking and exploring, while the elevation changes create a diverse recreational experience within a single property. The layout is particularly well-suited for buyers seeking a combination of usable agricultural acreage and wooded recreational land. The fenced pasture at the front could serve as the foundation for a cattle or horse operation, while the mountain acreage in the back can be maintained for deer hunting, turkey hunting, hiking and wildlife management. A potential homesite or farmstead location could allow an owner to take advantage of the open acreage while retaining the wooded portions for recreation and privacy. Location is another important advantage. Situated just a few miles northeast of Gadsden, the property offers convenient access to the city's shopping, restaurants, services and other amenities while retaining the rural character associated with northeast Alabama farmland and mountain property. This combination of accessibility, usable acreage and established recreational features makes the tract suitable for a variety of land ownership objectives. Whether your goal is to establish a small farm, maintain horses or cattle, manage a private hunting property, enjoy mountain hiking or build a rural retreat, this 50+/- acre tract along Owl’s Hollow Road offers several possibilities. The combination of mature pine frontage, approximately 14+/- acres of fenced pasture, a pond, established food plot, shooting houses, mature mountain hardwoods and long-range ridge views provides a balanced mix of agricultural utility and outdoor recreation within a short distance of Gadsden, Alabama. This property is co-listed with Impact Realty.
