Sycamore Hall – That Epitome of Southern Style, Place, and Space*The house is situated on 4 stately acres in the community of Beatrice. Additional land can be purchased in the nearby community of Buena Vista located approximatley 10 miles away. Offered Divided: The House or the house and 452 acres, 250 acres, or 100 acresSet serenely within a lushly landscaped block in quaint Beatrice, Alabama, Sycamore Hall is a physical manifestation of a uniquely Southern ideal, and in ways both seen and unseen. Architectural style, natural setting, and ancestral feel work in concert to make this gracious small-town seat singularly fantastic. A testament to a community’s historic origins and its continuing appeal, Sycamore Hall is the type of property that rarely appears on the market. The associational, architectural, and situational realities of the house and grounds afford more than a delightful look back in time. They are means whereby you might reconnect the grounding and gracious benefits of traditional living.Sycamore Hall was built in 1905. The property’s history is part and parcel of Beatrice itself. Founded in 1900 and incorporated a year later, Beatrice is a handsome and well-planned community located in northeast Monroe County. The area benefitted from further development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by way of the railroads. The Monroe Journal of 5 April 1905 described the new town as “surrounded by beautiful and rich farming country, well timbered lands, pine, oak, popular, ash, hickory and sweet gum, the purest and best water and one of the healthiest communities in the South.”Beatrice’s residential properties have always been one of its greatest draws. On a promissory above the bustling downtown were constructed the town’s finest houses. Sycamore Hall is the grandest built and to survive. Built for Mrs. Nicholas Walter Stallworth, a widow with considerable acreage, the house occupies almost an entire city block. Over four acres of grounds surround the house. Original and later plantings, some many decades old, divide the property into a succession of landscaped rooms. The house is the focal point of the property, not to mention the quarter of the city in which it stands.Stylistically, Sycamore Hill represents a subtle and successful blending of the best attributes of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles in both its architectural elements and interior floor plan. Bay windows, varying roof forms, and multiple galleries, all positive attributes of the Late Victorian era Queen Anne, mingle with classical proportions and elements, including Tuscan columns, of the Colonial Revival. The house has the best of two architectural worlds!The original cast iron fence extends length of the manicured front lawn. Interestingly, the house opposite, a charming one-story cottage, was where Mrs. Stallworth and her family lived while Sycamore Hill was being constructed. That is one way of assuring expert construction and craftsmanship! The finest of old growth heart pine and white oak employed in the sills, floor boards, window sashes, and siding is another means to the aforementioned end.Sycamore Hill is more than a stimulating amalgam of fine craftsmanship, grand spaces, and nice features set within a landscaped setting. There is an intangible aspect to the house that is only found with a property that has long been associated with a family. Five generations of the same family have resided at Sycamore Hill. Continuity of ownership has assured conscious stewardship, and with both flair and substance.Offered with 452 acres of recreational timberland, Sycamore Hill is a place that you can generally experience by driving by with a lingering glance in the rear-view mirror. House and property make for a fine pairing.  There is a reason why situations of this type rarely appear on the market and do not remain there long. A short drive from Monroeville, Camden, and Greenville, further ambience and additional conveniences are in easy reach. Sycamore Hill is connected in more than senses than location. A livable past in the present, this wonderful property has all the attributes that make the South so special.

Located in Alabama’s historic plantation belt, just 22 miles from Union Springs known as ‘Bird Dog Field Trial Capital of the World”, 18 miles to Eufaula, 40 miles to Columbus, 50 miles to Auburn, and 140 miles to the Atlanta airport. This area is widely regarded as the epicenter in Alabama for exceptional hunting & recreational properties. A sense of competitive comradery exist here over the land & wildlife management, who can grow the biggest deer or highest covey counts; it’s a rewarding endeavor all to the benefit of the land, wildlife, and next generation.The breathtaking vistas are often taken for granted at Bishop Hill, with every turn offering a new appreciation of meticulous land stewardship.

The timber stand diversity is not by mistake and offers a new owner supreme wildlife habitat with a future income stream & control over what is to come. The property has exceptional water resources in the 18 acres in lakes, made up of 3 lakes, as well as 2.5 miles of year-around water on Bear Creek flowing through the property. An extensive well-maintained road network provides access to 32 established food plots. Custom elevated shooting houses on most of the larger fields and several ladder stands scattered about. The deer and turkey hunting is exceptional; the diverse and vast landscape provides countless opportunities for the avid outdoorsmen, not to mention combination quail hunts in the morning & deer in the evening without ever disturbing one or the other.The amenities on the plantation are magnificent; the lodges are some of the finest lodges found on any sporting property today. Everything is perfectly laid out for families or corporate with every detail carefully considered. The main Lodge overlooks the 8 acre lake.

The large screened in porch doubles as another den or ‘great’ room with a large wood burning fireplace and comfortable interior décor. Consistent with the rest, the furniture & interior design throughout the lodge is first class.Similar to the main lodge, the “guest lodge” was also constructed from pine and cypress taken off the property and overlooks the 8 acre lake. Built in 2007, it is 2,000 +/- square feet with 2 bedrooms and a loft and 2.5 bathrooms. With a similar layout to the main lodge, it has vaulted ceilings, large windows, and spectacular views of the lake and grounds. The wraparound porch and outdoor fireplace is a great place to gather after the hunt to recap the days endeavors.Both lodges are masterfully designed and perfect for families to enjoy the scenic views of the lake and manicured grounds. Other improvements include a private electric gated entrance, covered boat house, lakeside pavilion, 7 stall horse barn with fenced pasture, tack room and living space above, equipment shed, very nice elevated custom shooting houses, extensive road network, miles of 3 board fencing, underground power, & much more.Bishop Hill and its Social Storm Property Attributes is highly ranked. The Social Storm Property is in a separate asset class of its own with key attributes that investors gravitate to for safety in bad times and buy for recreational reward in good times….What makes a Social Storm Property so unique?Location is paramount and just 18 miles east of the property is Lake Eufaula, a 46,000 acre reservoir formed along the Chattahoochee River separating Alabama & Georgia. Popular activities on the lake include trophy fishing, boating, swimming, and watersports. Bishop Hill is less than 20 miles to the Weeden Field Airport, equipped with 5,000’ of runway and only 140 miles to Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta.There is not yet a Conservation Easement at Bishop Hill. It would be a strong candidate for a conservation easement providing benefits to the new owner and protections for the land.Bishop Hill is being offered at $6,372,800 completely turn-key with furnishings, tractors, implements, atv’s, horses etc. Which is $2,315 per acre for the land component plus the improvements discounted 20% off replacement cost, plus 18 acres in lakes.Priced below 2019 appraisal (excluding furniture, tractors, equipment, horses, etc).This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of Alabama’s finest properties that would otherwise be impossible to duplicate for this price and would take decades to create what has been accomplished at Bishop Hill!
