Want to get away? Here is a rare opportunity to own land bordering the Bankhead National Forest with your very own waterfall and swimming hole. This property is conveniently located Between Huntsville and Birmingham, only 30 minutes from downtown Cullman. It has a paved road frontage with public water and electricity available. There is a 6-acre field at the entrance to the property that was recently cleared, and it would make a perfect spot for building a home or cabin, grazing animals, or planting a garden. There is also an excellent spot to build a deep pond on the edge of this field. A new road system will carry you directly to the primary highlight of the property, Long Branch Falls. Here you will find a cleared area overlooking the falls, creek and swimming hole. This is a perfect spot to set up a cooler and grill and spend the day listening to nature and enjoying your private oasis. The falls tumble over a rock wall and pour into the clear pool below. The water here is several feet deep, and off to the side you can actually swim underneath the bluff. Long Branch runs all year long and is fed by a mountain stream and multiple small springs. All along the main creek are massive rock formations that create cave-like overhangs and bluffs, providing outstanding views. Underneath the largest cave is a spot to sift for arrowheads and pottery shards, evidence of the Native Americans that once used this spot for shelter. Mature oaks, hickories, and poplars tower over the creek, and big leaf magnolias, hemlocks, beech, and pines are mixed in. The topography is steep over the northern part of the property, and there are several old trails that could be opened back up for hiking or riding ATVs. The southern part of the property, nearest County Road 80, is flat to gently rolling. There is a 20-acre stand of loblolly pine here that is ready for its first thinning; it would be a perfect spot to create a pine savannah. To top it all off, this property is surrounded by Bankhead National Forest to the north, west and south, providing 1,000s of acres of additional land for privacy and enjoyment. If you like to hunt, there is ample evidence of deer, turkey, and other wildlife. The combination of accessibility, water features, timber, topography, and open areas make this property extremely unique.
