Hardwoods, Homesite and Great Recreational Uses

Located at the intersection of Highway 11 and Alabama State Route 85 (Belfonte Road), just one minute from Interstate 59, this 51± acre property in Fort Payne, DeKalb County offers a rare combination of privacy, history, and accessibility in Northeast Alabama.

Held in the same family for over 100 years, this historic tract features untouched old-growth hardwood timber that has not been logged in more than a century. The gently rolling terrain supports abundant wildlife including whitetail deer and wild turkey, making it ideal for hunting land, a private estate, or a recreational retreat.

A newly constructed interior roadbed provides easy access throughout the property, with paved frontage already in place. A cleared ridgetop homesite captures panoramic sunrise and moonrise views overlooking Lookout Mountain. A wet-weather spring offers excellent potential for a future pond, enhancing both beauty and long-term value.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is just 8 minutes to downtown Fort Payne, under 30 minutes to Mentone, and less than two hours to Huntsville or Birmingham. Chattanooga and Gadsden are both within an hour.

If you’re searching for land for sale in Fort Payne AL, DeKalb County hunting land, or North Alabama acreage with mountain views and paved access, this legacy property is a rare opportunity to own something truly special.
