Does anybody know anything about the listing in AFOA for 200 acres in Tallapoosa Co on 259? The listing agent was asking $23/acre last year now he is closing on June 15 with the highest bidder this year. The agent is not real talkative.

He is a freaking retard too.

Sent me some pics last year but not much information. Very expensive last year. Put some other 30 or 40 acre tract up last year where winning bid was $8 or $9k. These AAOF guys are all nuts.

wow. 23 an acre for Tallapoosa county?? It must be some kind of awesome for that price in that county.

Its got a camp house that they want whoeverleases the property to fix up.

X2. I bid on a 40 acre property of pines he had in Crenshaw co last year. I bid $500 and he told me it went for $1,200. I believe he's full of it

Wow, I thought it was just me! Good to get this info, thanks

Having lived in Tallapoosa County for over 10 years and being privileged enough to hunt to some good areas across this state, I can say with reasonable confidence that the property is not worth anywhere close to $23/acre. I haven't lived there in the last 3 years but when I did, the county was still open to dog hunting. I wouldn't pay a premium for any property that had the potential for unwanted dogs to run across my property, with little or no repercussion.

Most tallapoosa cnty land is worth $7-8 a acre. The hunting ain't what it was around there 20 years ago.

I looked at it last year, was not overrun with sign but was decent. I bid $7.50/acre last week but thinking about retracting my bid after hearing about this guy. It's just so close to my house that makes it so attractive.

I bid on same 40 acres in Crenshaw county. He sent an email that winning bid was $1060. Something just doesn't add up with this guy's listings.

For $23 acre the house should already be fixed up. Like someone else posted, land in that area is worth 7-$8 an acre. Deer hunting is good at best. Turkey hunting is another story. Best turkey hunting I've ever been around.

I hunted this place last year with my wife's cousin who leased it. First, deer hunting ok, turkeys used the property during the winter but we're mostly gone by opening of season this spring. Place has more raccoons and foxes than anywhere I've hunted, which probably explains the turkey exodus in spring. Now the real issue we had was the owner. She lives out of state and wants the old home place kept like you were living there year round. She seems to think
it some sort of honor to hunt there, despite the outrageous $/acre. Wife's cousin tried to bargain with her on reducing price in exchange for needed repairs to house but she just kept adding to list. All of plumbing is shot and someone stripped all wiring out before we started hunting there. If anyone wants more details you can pm me. It's only 20 minutes from my house so I loved the convenience but it wasn't worth $ and aggravation.

Made a offer as well but not sure now . I've seen the land it's no were near 23 a acre worth. Not a ton of deer sign . It's pretty property but not worth 4600 by any means.

What your saying makes me remember talking to a woman about 8-10yrs ago about a lease. She talked about her place Like it was a plantation from "Gone with the wind". I asked her what she wanted for the lease, she said she wanted me to drive over and meet with her and discuss the deal because this wasn't just an ordinary price of property.

We didn't know the extent of what she wanted done until after we had committed to the property. Needless to say, we quickly decided to go elsewhere after that. We killed a few small bucks last year but nothing of any real size. Neighborhood dogs are also an issue as property backs up to several houses along highway 9. Best of luck to whomever gets it this year.

Thanks for all the info. Pretty much confirmed a lot of my suspicions.

So the leasing agent just sent out an email saying the bid was at $4000, that's $20 per acre. I told him he could keep it for all I care. I think the guy is full of crap.

There are dumbasses born every day so he may be telling the truth.

SMH!!!
