I've never seen this property totally flooded. I've seen the water to be at the upper bank, and over the lower terraces next to the water. I've seen the slough filled in, but the paved road on the property next to the water, used to be the main road. It was built up accordingly. The road has been vacated and deeded to me. I've never seen the lower dirt road with water over it either, except in one place which is several feet lower.

I still would expect the 100 year flood to cover it though.

I'll put $10,005 down as long you'll put it on a 50yr note at 1% lol

Fishing time and summer time!!

WOW! I have great memories of this area. First time I ever went deer hunting was across the street from the property. My childhood friends dad was a Birmingham Police officer and belonged to the Sipsey River Hunting Club. At that time the club was made up of basically BHAM Police officers. I later joined the club after high school. Hunted from the late 70’s to around 1988 in the club. There was a local club they met at the little store called Browning’s just back east of the Bridge. Looking at the aerial picture where MLK highway intersects Cotton Bridge Rd we called it the Y. We did a lot of dog hunting back then. The two fields on both sides of MLK hwy were great evening stands for still hunting. Dogs would run the deer down and sometimes across the river in the mornings. You could catch the deer slipping back in the late afternoon. Wish I could invest in this property. Thanks David

Up.

Is there a house on it? I dont see any houses anywhere on the aerial you posted but then you mentioned 1 acre lots?? Are there houses up and down the river from there?

No houses on this property. It currently is not divided into lots.

I'm just referring to most "river" lots on navigable deep waters for 1 acre lots with 100 feet of waterfront run $25,000 and up.
If someone wants to divide this up they could.

For example. 1/2 mile water front is 2640 feet of water front.
Take the bridge (for reference) being an imaginary line separating the North and South side of property.
There are +/- 11 acres North of bridge and +/- 24 acres South of bridge.
Take out 600 feet of waterfront - 300 feet being on both sides of bridge, so the concrete launch is included in a common area for everyone on property. This way everyone has the use of boat ramp.

So for simple purposes and rounding out for easy numbers there would be more than 9 acres and 1000 feet of water front on "North side" and more than 20 acres with 1000 feet of waterfront on "South side".


Divide the North side into 3 lots - Each having 3 plus acres of 330 feet of waterfront. Sell each lot at $50,000 = $150,000
Divide the South side into 5 lots - Each having 4 plus acres of 200 feet of waterfront. Sell each lot at $45,000 = $225,000

That's $375,000 - $135,000 (selling price) = $240,000 profit, minus your expenses of survey, time, etc.

I'm not a developer, and I may be missing something, but that's some random, fair numbers I was thinking of when looking at the property to divide it.

I may do this myself, but I know there is someone who would prefer to have the whole place to themselves.

I wish that was on the east side of the state I would figure out some way to buy it

That's a beautiful place you got there. Somebody will eventually jump on that!
It's a nice area and I have fished from around that bridge many times in the 1990's.

Me, rebelpiper and WinMod.70 used to hunt just up the road from there at the junction of 208 and 183,
in the old Buckstop Hunting Club (me) and the Double Springs Hunting Club (them).

Looks like you could kill a duck or three down there too. Tempting....

Already a cut from the river to a slough on the bottom east side where a sluice gate could be placed to keep the water in when the river is low.
