The exquisite Hope Hill Farm offers you the best in country living and substantially more. Come visit this multi-diverse property and see for yourself why it proves to be an absolute paradise for the avid outdoorsman. This turnkey property features not one but two lakeside homes set within a well-managed mixture of prime hunting land. The main home sits back off paved road frontage and provides access through automated gates of crafted iron steel. The newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home with fireplace has many attributes including a three-car covered parking area with attached storage room, 500 sq ft swimming pool, a newly installed metal roof, two new a/c units, a new stand by generator, a safe room and nearly 100 ft of covered porch to accentuate that good ol’ country living. Other improvements located at the main dwelling consist of a large pole barn with available RV hookup, a large workshop with elevated work floor and exterior covered bays, a tac shed, metal storage shed, and a brand new multi-bay dog kennel complete with air conditioning. To accommodate your guests, a second home is located just across the main sixteen-acre lake. This rustic yet beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with fireplace also has a newly installed a/c, necessary appliances, and a sizeable covered porch to enjoy the panoramic lake and pasture views. The current owners keep numerous head of cattle and horses within the fenced pasture grounds. A third roadside lot is set with septic plus utilities and may render potential income-producing possibilities.

And for the sports enthusiast, Hope Hill Farm presents some of the finest whitetail and turkey hunting Alabama has to offer. Take advantage of this great hunting opportunity by utilizing four extensive shooting fields which have in recent years produced a number of magnificent whitetails including some that carry the piebald genetic trait. Each greenfield is strategically placed throughout this tract of predominantly hardwood timber and made ready to hunt with a shooting house and game feeder deployed at each site. These fields receive year-round plantings and are all bordered by numerous white oaks and young chestnut tree growth. You’ll also find as many as 17 different varieties of fruit-producing trees planted around the property. In addition, there are plenty of cleared areas to add smaller satellite plots if you wish to expand the wildlife’s feeding opportunities. If you’re a wing shooter, the property grants you several options to really burn some shells. Start your mornings early on the one-acre duck pond outfitted with in-ground blinds or spend your afternoons at one of the two hilltop dove fields having a great time shooting with friends. The dove fields also provide an excellent venue for staged quail hunts although more than one covey of wild quail can be found on-premise. Want to wet a hook? The property’s heavily stocked sixteen-acre lake with pier delivers a fine catch of bass, bream, crappie, and shell cracker. A lake boat with trolling motor comes as part of the packaged deal. How about a mess of crawdads to fish with or to boil for a meal? Just visit the pier on the property’s active crawfish pond to harvest as many as needed. The main lake, crawfish pond and duck pond are supplied by two spring-fed perennial creeks that traverse the property.  When considering the water sources, successional plantings, and natural browse, the Hope Hill Farm certainly provides all that’s needed to support an abundance of wild game; and with the addition of the two beautiful homes and all their creature comforts, you have an extraordinary property that for any true sportsman is an absolute must-see.
