Posted on October 3, 2011 by

Log Home For Sale on 92+/- Acre Farm in Childersburg, Alabama. Pastureland, Timberland, and additional 2-bedroom frame-built home on property. The log home has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a large deck, wood-burning fireplace, balcony, detached 2-car garage, and a beautiful view across the pasture in an ideal setting next to a small stream. There is a frame-built home next door that sells with the farm as well. It’s 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, with a nice porch overlooking the pasture as well. The property has county water and fronts on Maddox Road, a short, quiet gravel road that is a real joy to drive down…look at the pictures! (Link Below) There are far to many features to list in these homes. By request, I can make a 100-picture photo album available to you online. The pastures are flat to gently rolling hayland that any farmer would be glad to call his own. The upland at the north end of the property has a mixed timber stand. If you like wildlife, this is a great property, just a short drive from Birmingham, Alabama. Look at the picture of the turkeys…I saw three different groups of turkeys on the property the day I took the photos. Lots of deer sign as well. Those fields could make for a nice dove area too!

Gold, Land, Changes, Opportunities, and New Listings

Posted on July 25, 2011 by

I am announcing a format change for the AlaLandMan Blog.  Instead of being a listings-based site with occasional news and articles from the area’s land industry, the AlaLandMan Blog will become more news, article, and announcement based.  In addition to the information you have been accustomed to getting here, I will also supply information on other properties and sales in the East Central Alabama area…Don’t worry, I’m not doing some all-inclusive update blog that will choke your inbox or feed…just the ones that I think you guys will find interesting.  Let me know how I am doing.  You can find my page on Facebook here:  Robert King Land Agent

NEW LISTING IN TALLADEGA COUNTY – Near Oxford!
With that in mind, we have just listed a parcel at the intersection of Alabama Hwy 21 and Stockdale Road, just north of Talladega that I think might interest many of you.  There are farmland, timberland, and potential homesites in the tract.  256+/- Acres total that can be purchased in tracts of 95+/- Acres, 90+/- Acres, 28+/- Acres, 24+/- Acres, and 19+/- Acres.  All have paved frontage and are just minutes from Talladega, Oxford, I-20, and Mt. Cheaha State Park.  Priced between $2,350 and $3,000 per acre.  I looked at these with a customer this weekend and was really impressed with the value that I saw on these.

Great Timberland Opportunity in Tallapoosa County
Last week, I traveled down to Newsite in northern Tallapoosa County and looked at a parcel we have available there.  123+/- Acres of timberland with mixed mature timber, deeded access off of Alabama Hwy 22 and a beautiful, rocky creek flowing through it…just what so many are looking for…and at a timberland price, just $1,536/acre.  At that price, I can see a clear pathway to a great combination timber and hunting land investment that puts well under $1,000/acre in dirt value.  This is the place to make money…not Gold…this property is priced less, on a per acre basis, than an ounce of gold.

An Ounce of Gold or and Acre of Land?
Jonathan Goode, our Land Agent serving the Western BlackBelt area of Alabama penned an outstanding article on this subject over on the LandThink Blog.  Great investment article for anyone considering new or movement of investments.  Just a hint…Land is Better!…HA!…didn’t see that coming did you?  Here is the article:
http://www.landthink.com/an-ounce-of-gold-or-an-acre-of-land/

I hope you like the more informal tone of the AlaLandMan Blog.  I’m pretty sure I can do a better job of serving my customers this way, which is my goal.  Thanks to all of my readers, customers, and friends.  You make this industry one of the best to practice in.

Here is how you can get in touch with me about any of these listings:

Investment Advice: Buy Low. Sell High.

Posted on June 14, 2011 by

Land investments made during down markets are the ones that make BIG money during better economic times.  Any good businessman will tell you the secret to making money with investments is to “Buy Low and Sell High.”  Indeed I spent time with a customer today who made that very statement while we were looking at some timberland for sale in Chilton County Alabama.  He liked what he saw and agreed that now is certainly a time to “Buy Low.”  Like many people that I work with, he was looking for a property that would make a good investment, that he can hunt on as well.  Has there been a better time in recent memory to buy investment property?  Can you see the potential to invest in land in today’s economy, and secure a portion of your financial future?  Don’t you think it’s time to buy low, so that you can sell high one day?  Another tip any good businessman will tell you…”The money is made in the buying.”  Think about it.

I have hand-selected three properties below that I think will make excellent investment properties.  Each of these have a different aspect in mind.  One will make an excellent timberland investment property, and offer the opportunity to hunt as well.  Another is currently chok-full of merchantable pine just waiting to be harvested, and in an area with an excellent turkey population.  The other is close to I-65 with good access back to Birmingham and has potential to be divided in the future.

150+/- Acres Land For Sale near Lineville in Clay County, Alabama.  This property is one of the best-priced properties that I have available.  The sellers are ready to move this one as well.  There are roads and trails throughout the property.  There are a couple stands of mature, merchantable pine plantation.  There is a stand of natural mature timber, and a couple of stands of young, growing pine plantation for your future.  The property is located outside of Lineville, Alabama.  If you are looking for a property that is priced right for growing timber, this is one of the best we have available.  http://www.alalandco.com/or2/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=1276

282+/- Acres Pine Plantation – Hunting Land For Sale in Clay County, Alabama.  This property has over 250 acres in mature timber.  This property has an outstanding turkey population.  This property may be the best investment for the savy investor that I have available.  Roads, trails, wildlife, and BIG timber.  There is power to the property too!  Clay County has spring and fall turkey seasons.  An adjoining landowner is managing his farm for turkey habitat. Potential lakesite.  An Investreational property. (Investment and Recreational)
http://www.alalandco.com/or2/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=1253

234+/- Acres Investment Land, Timberland, Hunting Land For Sale near Clanton in Chilton County, Alabama.  Excellent rural roadfrontage on a tract with BIG potential for future division.  Currently managed as a timber and hunting property, this one has a great upside potential.  Chilton County has traditionally been a good land market, especially those properties in the north end of the county, with easy access back into the Birmingham metro area via I-65.  This one meets all the criteria.  Hunt on your investment property.  Grow timber on your investment property.  Reap the benefits of your investment property in a few year.  This is what opportunity looks like. http://www.alalandco.com/or2/index.php?action=listingview&listingID=1255

55+/- Acres Timberland w/Outstanding View For Sale In Clay County, Alabama

Posted on April 26, 2011 by

55+/- Acres Timberland with Outstanding View.

Awesome building site on this hunting property/dream home site. Take a look at the view in the pictures, with just a little more clearing you could have 180 degrees of that! Located in a protected area about 7/10′s mile off the paved road on a well-maintained county gravel road. The tree-lined passageway along this road just adds to the beauty of this property. Excellent hunting. I have seen deer and turkey on and around this property numerous times. There is a growing timber investment here as well. the property is ready to be thinned now. This tract cannot be further divided, the neighbors to the North and West have 30+ and 50+ acres respectively, and only one home will be built on these properties. The land is bounded on the South and East by a Large timberland holding. This place will give you the privacy that you have been looking for. There’s even a small stream and potential pond site on the southeast portion of the property. There is power just across the county road, and high-speed Internet is available to the property via phone line. Seclusion, rural community, hunting, wooded, stream, privacy, and access to technology. I think that gets everything on your list, right?…oh yeah, the VIEW!… Those mountains you see in the pics are inside the Talladega National Forest, so add access to it to you list of stars by this property!

Listed at $107,900
