Land Description
72 Acres on the Pea River w/Additional 60 +/- Riverfront Acres Available
Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. This exceptional 72± acre Pea River property offers approximately 1,200 feet of river frontage, multiple homesites, established internal roads, hunting improvements, and the potential to acquire an additional 60± adjoining acres with even more river frontage.
What truly sets this property apart from most river tracts is the amount of usable land along the river corridor. It is normal for a quality river property to have a significant portion of its acreage located within a floodplain. What is uncommon is finding a tract where so much of the frontage and adjoining land along the river is not classified as wetland. More than half of the property sits above the river bottom, offering beautiful elevated views, multiple homesites, and excellent development potential.
For buyers seeking additional acreage, investment potential, or future expansion, approximately 60 adjoining acres with additional Pea River frontage may also be available for purchase. This creates a rare opportunity to assemble approximately 132 contiguous acres with substantial frontage along one of Southeast Alabama's most scenic rivers.
The southern portion of the property features a long, flat ridge with several outstanding building locations situated outside of the flood zone. A passing perk test is included, making the property ready for your dream home, hunting lodge, family retreat, or recreational getaway.
Power can be made available with an acceptable purchase price, helping reduce development costs and making future improvements even easier.
The property offers approximately 1,200 feet of frontage along the beautiful Pea River. An established internal road system provides access throughout the tract and to multiple points along the riverbank. During dry periods and warmer months, the Pea River often runs remarkably clear, adding to the property's natural beauty and recreational appeal.
If tubing, kayaking, canoeing, or fishing are high on your list, this property deserves a serious look. From the river access point on the property, it is approximately a three-hour float to the Highway 231 bridge. Along the way, you'll experience scenic stretches of river, sandbars, swift shoals, excellent fishing opportunities, and some of the most beautiful river scenery found anywhere in Southeast Alabama.
For those considering a campground, RV destination, canoe and kayak livery, glamping retreat, family compound, or other outdoor recreation venture, this property deserves serious consideration. The combination of river frontage, usable high ground, multiple homesites, established roads, and expansion potential is difficult to duplicate.
Unlike many recreational properties, buyers have the opportunity to work directly with an experienced land contractor familiar with the property and capable of assisting with roads, site preparation, drainage improvements, utility corridors, food plots, parking areas, river access improvements, and other infrastructure needs.
For buyers considering development, access to experienced equipment operators and construction resources can significantly simplify the process of transforming the property into a private retreat, hunting lodge, campground, RV destination, or outdoor recreation business. Site development assistance may be available through separate negotiation.
Hunters will appreciate that much of the work has already been done. A 3± acre hog-proof fenced food plot sits below the bluff and is overlooked by a 6' x 6' elevated shooting house. From this location, hunters can view approximately 30 acres of prime river-bottom whitetail habitat. An additional upland food plot is established in red and white clover.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the property, and the combination of river frontage, food plots, mature habitat, and diverse terrain creates outstanding opportunities for deer, turkey, and other game.
Having grown up floating and camping this section of the Pea River, I can confidently say it offers some of the finest recreational opportunities in the region. From the Highway 231 bridge all the way downstream toward Elba, there are countless opportunities for floating, fishing, camping, and enjoying the river's natural beauty. It is a special stretch of river that few people truly appreciate until they experience it firsthand.
Access is provided by a shared private deeded road off Highway 123. The property is located within the Ariton School District and is approximately two miles from Ariton High School.
Whether you're searching for a private family retreat, premier hunting property, future homesite, recreational investment, or a tract with business potential, this Pea River property offers a combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find.
Seller may consider owner financing with an acceptable down payment and terms.
