8705 Co Road 29 , Centre, AL 35960(Cherokee County)

This is a rare gem of a property that has numerous features that make it an awesome farm! It would make an outstanding hunting property with bonus of tillable or converted back to cattle farm. It has approximately 70 acres of crop fields that are currently in a corn/soybean rotation. This could provide the new owner with rental income, which is hard to find available on a hunting farm, here in the south. In addition, there are several fields tucked away in nooks and crannies creating tremendous “edge effect” which provides great natural food and cover for all wildlife. Look at the aerial photos, isn’t it easy to picture where some hidden food plots could be located and excellent stand sites for either bow hunting or gun hunting? A trail system winds through the timbered portion of the property providing access to all areas. The timber is mostly a young hardwood pine mix, with some pockets being predominantly pines. Thickets provide outstanding deer bedding and turkey nesting. I’ve noticed a very high population of rabbits and have seen at least 3 wild coveys of quail. This area of the county has a very high turkey population as well, the NWTF turkey density map shows this area to have 26+ turkeys per sq. mile, which is their highest ranking. With the thick cover and surrounding cover on bordering properties the deer population is very good. The gently rolling terrain is pleasant to walk or ride and the countryside is absolutely beautiful. At one time this property was a working cattle ranch, fenced and cross fenced. It has grown up now but with some dozer work and some fence repair would make an outstanding cattle farm. There is a scenic home site/cabin site on a hill toward the east side of the property that would provide panoramic views across all the open ground, very beautiful and peaceful location! The existing house is located on the eastern edge of the property that is approximately 1100 sq. ft., consisting of 2 Bed/1Bath that would make an outstanding camp house. It has power, county water and septic. There are 3 small stock ponds and a small stream that runs through the middle of the tract that provides a very steady water source. There are great locations for a dove field as well as areas to train a bird dog or retriever. This farm sticks out for its versatility, gorgeous look, income and surrounding beauty. Area attractions include Weiss Lake, which is a public 36,000 acres, that offers outstanding fishing and boating and is only a few minutes drive from this tract. Only about 1:30 drive from metro Atlanta, Birmingham or Chattanooga, this could be your getaway. Please let me know if you would like to setup a private showing and we could help make this your families’ farm to enjoy for generations.
