75 acres of land for Sale in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama

75+/- acres of hunting land for sale in Selma in Dallas County, Alabama for only $1300/acre. This tract is located in the Black Belt of Alabama, which is known for producing some giant whitetail deer. Located only a few minutes from Wal-Mart and the restaurants in Selma, this would make a great recreational tract. It is on the fringes of Beech Creek Swamp, and parts of it are seasonally wet.
 
There is one foodplot on the south end, and an Alabama Power transmission line runs across the north end of the tract. This property has lots of potential, and only needs two days of work with a bull dozier to make a good internal road system and put in a few more foodplots. The timber is mostly young natural regeneration. The tract has been surveyed, and has access from Dallas County Road 304. Power and county water are available to the tract. I had cell phone coverage with my Verizon phone here.
 
This tract is priced well below what the owner has invested in the land. The seller is very motivated and would welcome all reasonable offers. This property is shown by appointment only please. Call me today at 334-247-2005 to schedule a visit.

61_ac_fayette_pasture_trees

61 acres +/- of beautiful land for sale near Fayette, Fayette County, Alabama for $161,000. Twin Springs farm is a gorgeous tract that has been in this same family for over 80 years. The current owner has been running cows here since 1999. The land consists of approximately 40 acres in pasture and the balance in woods. Two nice barns provide ample storage space for equipment and hay. The property is fenced with extensive well-maintained cross-fencing throughout the tract. There are two catch pen areas and two head catches for the cattle operation.

 A 2004 mobile home in great condition is also being sold with the property. It is very clean and in good repair with HVAC and a septic tank. The mobile home is serviced by Alabama Power and water from the town of Berry. I had Verizon telephone service here, and the owner has used wireless internet from AT&T for some time. The old home place is still on the property and could be used for dry storage or with a little work could be repaired and made a guest cabin.

Two springs flow through the property, providing water to the livestock year round. This property would make an amazing horse farm or an exceptional game day farm for University of Alabama fans. Aprroximately 50 acres is on the west side of the road and 11 acres or so is on the east side. The east side is not fenced, but there is a superb garden spot just across from the mobile home. One of the barns has a storm shelter room built in. The view from the deck is really nice.

The area is peaceful and secluded, we didn't see or hear a car for two solid hours as we toured this property. It is 12 miles to the Super WalMart in Fayette. Lots of wildlife travel through this property. We picked up turkey feathers in several different spots and found deer sign in the back food plot. You could hold great dove shoots or manage this tract for quail habitat as well. The possibilities on this tract are nearly endless. The mineral rights are included with this tract and the owner has received small royalty checks in the past 3 or 4 years from a gas well operating in this section. The farm is well kept, functional, well-priced, and ready to go. Showings are by appointment only please as it is still a working farm, so please contact me today for more information.

The tract has a great internal road system which was built to service the gas well on the property. Mineral rights are not included this with tract, but this is not at all uncommon in west Alabama. This area is known for producing some large whitetail deer, and there are several foodplots and wildlife openings throughout the tract. The terrain varies quite a bit from nice flat land around the creek, rising up to the hilltop on the south side of the land. A large electric distribution line runs along the southern border of the land, providing lots of hunting opportunities.

Man’s use of fire to help balance natural world; nothing new

Here is an article I came across from The Wetumpka Herald on the benefits to the pine forest ecosystem of burning.  I think it’s important to get this information out there since so many people think that all forest fires are bad.  Our pine forests must have fire to be in balance.

By Rebecca Bearden

The sweet aroma of Southern pine tree snags smoldering on a warm February afternoon is a fragrance most appreciated when standing on the safe side of a secure fireline. Creeping across the blackened Alabama landscape, smoke alone remained from the intense flames that rolled through the forest earlier in the day.

The fire crew made executing a successful Sunday morning prescribed burn on 1,800 acres of the Oakmulgee Ranger District in the Talladega National Forest look easy, like this group had been working in step their entire lives. In reality, this team of skilled fire specialists, wildlife biologists, timber markers and equipment operators hailed from ranger districts throughout Alabama and even included a volunteer from Oregon. Well versed in teamwork, communication, fire behavior and safety, each member of this diverse band share one common passion—they love fire.
