Hunting Camp On Acreage Surrounded By Bankhead National Forest

Looking for a getaway? This property features food plots, fruit trees, timber, a well-equipped metal building, and convenient access to Bankhead National Forest, Black Warrior Wildlife Management Area, and Smith Lake. Located on County Road 63 in the Grayson community, this tract is an ideal recreational retreat. It borders the 91,000-acre Black Warrior WMA to the north, which is part of the expansive 181,000-acre Bankhead National Forest. This region of Alabama is renowned for its deer hunting, thanks to a successful restocking of northern deer in the early 1900s, resulting in quality bucks and a relatively early rut. The 900 SqFt shop is insulated and set on a concrete pad, with electricity and public water already connected. The north side of the building serves as sleeping quarters with bunk beds and a propane heater, while the south side is a workshop with an additional heater, work bench, and large sliding doors. This area also includes a shower and sink. Currently used as a hunting camp, it would be easy to add a septic tank. There's plenty of space outside to build a cabin, horse barn, or park an RV. The property has 700 feet of paved road frontage, fenced and gated for privacy. On the north side, you'll find an old homesite with an original barn and a large, mature chestnut and pecan tree out front. The land features loblolly pines, a hardwood bottom, and a small stream. There are three food plots, the largest just under an acre. The two smaller plots have pear tree orchards, which provide soft mast for deer and other wildlife. A small trail system connects all food plots and tree stands, making the property easy to access and further improve. Along with great hunting, the Bankhead National Forest offers horseback riding, fishing, kayaking, camping, and hiking. If water skiing or bass fishing is more your style, Smith Lake is just 10 miles away, with public boat launches close by. In addition to public water, this property also has two wells.
