Overview

Located at the intersection of Highway 11 and Alabama State Route 85, this 51-acre property is one minute from Interstate 59 in Fort Payne, DeKalb County. The historic tract has been held in the same family for over 100 years and features untouched old-growth hardwood timber that has not been logged in more than a century. The gently rolling terrain supports abundant wildlife, including whitetail deer and wild turkey, making it suitable for hunting land, a private estate, or a recreational retreat. A newly constructed interior roadbed provides access throughout the property, with paved frontage already in place. A cleared ridgetop homesite captures panoramic sunrise and moonrise views overlooking Lookout Mountain. A wet-weather spring offers potential for a future pond. The property is 8 minutes to downtown Fort Payne, under 30 minutes to Mentone, and less than two hours to Huntsville or Birmingham. Chattanooga and Gadsden are both within an hour.
