About This Home

Rolling Ridges, Towering Hardwoods, and Trophy Whitetails Located just west of Eufaula, this sporting property rests in the heart of Alabama's hill country-one of the most naturally beautiful and topographically diverse regions in the Southeast. Here, rolling ridges meet deep hardwood bottoms - some dropping nearly 200 feet in elevation - creating a habitat ideal for trophy whitetail, abundant turkey, and year-round recreation. Surrounded by like-minded landowners who share a passion for wildlife management, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey sporting property. This natural diversity not only enhances wildlife habitat but also supports a strong, self-sustaining ecosystem with natural forage. Regular prescribed burns maintain the understory, improving both browse and accessibility. Multiple year-round creeks course through the hardwood bottoms, providing abundant water and natural travel corridors for deer and turkey alike. This region is widely regarded for its exceptional deer genetics. The current owners have implemented a protein feeding program for over three years, producing strong age classes and excellent body weights. Three-and-a-half-year-old deer regularly score in the 120s-130s, while mature five-year-olds exceed 150 inches. It's not uncommon to see 15-20 deer from a single stand. Turkey hunting here is equally rewarding, though it demands skill - as birds are plentiful but wary. For bowhunters, the property's rolling topography is a dream. The ridges and bottoms cresate natural travel corridors, staging areas, and secluded stands where deer move throughout the day under dense cover. Designed for both efficiency and comfort, the lodge features two identical master suites and an open, vaulted living area perfect for entertaining. Constructed with R-38 insulation in the roof, R-22 spray-foam walls, and energy-efficient mini-split systems, the lodgte remains cool in summer and cozy through Alabama's crisp hunting season. Although secluded, the property is conveniently located just 15 minutes from Eufaula-known for its Southern charm, boutique shops, and classic local dining. Golfers can enjoy the nearby country club, while long-range shooters will appreciate the world-class Barbour Creek Shooting Academy right down the road. Eufaula is also home to some of the best year-round bass fishing in the country, hosting tournaments nearly every weekend. The 45,000 acres lake and its 640 miles of shoreline offer endless opportunities for boating, kayaking, and family recreat
