The property includes almost 10 acres of abundant farmland, along with the farmhouse—reportedly built around 1832—which is one of the few homes left from Alabama’s early statehood. Owners have kept its charm while making it comfortable and livable. The land itself carries a unique history—connections to Chief Ladiga, roots as a frontier homestead, and even stories of serving as a speakeasy for Fort McClellan. It has strong potential for heritage tourism, a bed-and-breakfast, or simply a beautiful homestead. The rooms are large and spacious. The farmland is ready for crops. There is a cold refrigerated room for produce. And a small farm shop. Don't miss out on this truly unique opportunity. Please do not drive onto farm unless you have an appointment.
