37 Acres, Farmhouse, Creek, Pond

Ranch Description

Offered for sale is a turn-key estate in the Central Heights community, just 15 minutes from downtown Florence, AL. This premier 37 acre property features a century-old farmhouse, pasture, a stocked pond, frontage on Cypress Creek, two barns, a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, and countless recreational opportunities.Arriving at the entrance on County Road 6, you're greeted by an automatic gate with keypad access for guests and remote openers for the owners. A long private driveway leads to the centerpiece of the farm-an updated two-story farmhouse originally built in 1901. In 2020, the ground level was fully renovated with the goal of modernizing the space while preserving the home's original farmhouse charm. It offers approximately 1,400 sq ft of finished space downstairs with tall ceilings, large windows, and hardwood floors. The upstairs includes three additional large rooms that were recently updated and currently being painted 2025. Upstairs photos to be included soon. From the kitchen window, you'll look out over a sunflower-covered dove field, rows of corn, the stocked pond, and pastureland that gently rolls toward Cypress Creek. The spring-fed pond is bordered by an 8 acre pasture on one side and a 3 acre dove field on the other, offering both beauty and function. A short walk out the back door leads you to a wooden footbridge that crosses a year-round spring that begins just behind the house-the original water source for the home. The spring flows through the property and eventually feeds into Cypress Creek. Across the bridge lies the pond where you can catch bass, brim, and crappie.Cypress Creek forms the entire eastern boundary of the property, with roughly 1,750 feet of frontage on this beautiful, year-round stream that eventually meets the Tennessee River. Multiple access points allow for fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water.You can hear the sounds of Cypress Creek rushing by as you step onto the outdoor kitchen. Completed in 2022, this space was designed for entertaining-with two TVs, ceiling fans, a sink, fridge, and ice maker. Whether you're grilling, hosting a party, or just spending time with family, it's a crowd favorite. The current owners host an annual dove hunt and gather here for Bbq, football, and fellowship. Additional structures include an elevated wooden hay barn and a cinderblock potato barn used for storing ATVs and equipment.Approximately 8 acres of the property were planted in corn this year and if desired, the land could be easily transitioned to pasture. This would give the new owners the ability to graze up to 20 acres, including the current pasture, dove field, and row crop ground. About 3 acres of previously harvested timber have been left to naturally regenerate, now serving as excellent bedding and cover for deer and other wildlife.The balance of the acreage consists of mature hardwoods. Since 2019, the current owners have managed the land with wildlife in mind-selective harvesting and habitat improvements have created an ideal setting for observing whitetail deer, turkey, wood ducks, and geese from the comfort of the wraparound porch.The location offers both privacy and proximity. Downtown Florence is just 15 minutes away, with local restaurants, shops, and the University of North Alabama. Pickwick Lake and multiple boat ramps are less than 15 minutes from the farm, providing easy access to both recreation and some of the best Smallmouth Bass fishing the state has to offer.With approximately 20 acres of open ground and tons of recreational opportunities, this farm is well-suited for a private estate, retreat, or family compound.Located less than 10 minutes from the Natchez Trace, 1.5 hours from Huntsville, and 2.5 hours from both Nashville and Memphis-this unique North Alabama property blends charm, convenience, and long-term potential. Additional or less acreage may be available.Call today to schedule your private showing.
