Description
Tucked along the scenic Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River in Empire, Alabama, this 36± acre property offers a unique opportunity to own a fully developed retreat with two modern cabins, established food plots and trails, and direct river access. Whether you're searching for a private family getaway, a turnkey hunting property, or a riverfront investment, this tract combines comfortable cabins with outstanding outdoor recreation in one of North Alabama's most scenic river corridors. Accessed by a well-maintained 0.85± mile gravel easement, the property provides privacy while remaining convenient to nearby amenities. At the gated entrance, you will find a spacious yard, public water and electricity, and a dedicated deer cleaning station, creating a property that is ready to enjoy immediately. The centerpiece of the property is a quarter-mile of frontage along the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River. This stretch of river is known for its scenic beauty, boating, and excellent fishing. Anglers can target spotted bass, striped bass, crappie, catfish, and panfish throughout the year. Just downstream, the Mulberry Fork joins the Sipsey Fork, home to Alabama’s only year-round trout fishery. Rainbow trout are stocked at Smith Lake Dam and often venture downstream to the forks. Whether you prefer fishing from the bank or launching a kayak, this river provides exceptional recreational value. Adding to the property's natural appeal is a beautiful rocky stream that flows through the tract before meeting the river. The main cabin is approximately 1,700 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Knotty pine finishes throughout create a warm, inviting interior that complements the wooded setting. A screened porch overlooks the river, providing the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind after a day outdoors. Beneath the cabin, a large storage area offers room for hunting equipment or fishing gear. Perched on a scenic bluff overlooking the river, the guest cabin is approximately 750 square feet with one bedroom and one bathroom. It also features a screened porch with elevated views of the water, giving family members, guests, or tenants a comfortable and private place to relax while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Having two separate cabins creates flexibility for entertaining guests or generating income through renting opportunities. The property is also ready for the upcoming hunting season. Approximately one mile of internal trails provides convenient access throughout the property, making it easy to travel by foot or ATV. Eight established food plots, each complemented by shooting houses, create an exceptional setup for deer management and hunting. The combination of food sources, natural travel corridors, river frontage, and creek drainage creates excellent hunting for deer and turkey. Other native wildlife, including bobcats, rabbits, songbirds, and waterfowl, are also abundant. While the hunting opportunities are outstanding, this property is equally suited for year-round enjoyment. Spend mornings fishing the Mulberry Fork, afternoons exploring the trails, and evenings relaxing on one of the screened porches overlooking the river. The setting offers the privacy and tranquility many buyers seek while remaining within convenient driving distance of Jasper, Birmingham, Cullman, Huntsville, and Smith Lake. Properties that combine river frontage, cabins, established hunting improvements, utilities, and immediate usability are increasingly difficult to find. This turnkey recreational property is ready for its next owner to begin making memories right away. Contact listing agent Spenser Bradley for more information and a private tour!
