Description

True Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: Private Retreat in Bankhead National Forest!

Opportunities like this simply do not come around. This privately held 40+/- acre tract is tucked away in one of the most sought-after and protected areas in Alabama, situated deep within Bankhead National Forest and less than a mile from the legendary Sipsey Wilderness Area, the first federally designated wilderness east of the Mississippi River.

Offering true seclusion and unmatched natural beauty, this property features a well-maintained cabin built in 1985 with approximately 1,080 square feet of living space. The home includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a semi-finished basement (an additional 1,000 square feet), wraparound porches, and a striking wood-burning fireplace that anchors the rustic interior.

Outside, a gazebo and small horse barn provide charm and utility, with storage for all your recreational equipment. The land is rich in mature white oak timber and is enhanced by more than a quarter mile of frontage along Tedford Creek, a large, year-round creek that flows directly into the Sipsey River just downstream of the property's border. Excellent opportunities for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, and relaxation abound.

Accessed by a well maintained gravel road off Northwest Road, this property is a true gem, combining wilderness, privacy, and comfort in a location where private ownership is virtually unheard of. This is a legacy property in every sense of the word.
