42 Acres

Guin, Alabama, 35563

The Location & Access: This property consists of 42 +/- acres in southwest Marion County, Alabama, just east of the intersection of Marion County Road 61 and Mount Willing Road. Situated under 10 minutes from downtown Guin, the tract offers a quiet rural setting within an hour and 15 minutes of Birmingham and just an hour from Tupelo, Mississippi. The land features approximately 500 feet of frontage on the northern side of Mount Willing Road along the southern property boundary. A potential build site sits directly adjacent to the paved road. While the hilly terrain currently isolates the northern acreage from the public road, a strategic internal access route is entirely feasible.The Investment & Recreation: The property offers a strong mix of natural timber that provides both immediate wildlife habitat and income potential. The high-ground interior consists of 25- to 30-year-old naturally regenerated timber that originated in the late 1990s, creating a dense canopy and a reasonably open understory. Along the steeper slopes and low-lying hollows, you will find distinct zones of older, mature timber that historical logging operations could not reach. This mature growth delivers a steady source of hard mast, particularly acorns, creating excellent natural travel corridors for hunting.The Terrain & Future Use: The topography varies significantly from north to south, moving from a flat northern plateau at 740 to 760 feet down through several ridges and hollows. Future recreational development is possible starting from the paved road frontage. A few days of dozer work would allow you to clear a permanent road or trail along the naturally sloping ridge heading north into the interior. Installing a simple ford across the wet-weather branch establishes a solid crossing, allowing the trail to continue north up a natural slope to access the high northern ridge. This makes the tract ideal for a private hunting camp or homestead, utilizing the accessible southern roadside build site for a home, cabin, or camper pad.
