Property Description
Welcome to an exceptional 196 +/- acre recreational retreat in Pickens County, just outside the quiet community of Ethelsville, Alabama. This is the kind of property where generations gather, traditions are built, and every season offers a new adventure.
At the heart of the farm sits a beautifully restored 1,900 square foot church that has been transformed into an inviting lodge, creating the perfect setting for hosting family and friends. Whether you're watching early fall football before heading to the dove field, gathering after a successful hunt, enjoying a quiet weekend in the country, or sitting by the large fireplace over the holidays, this lodge serves as the centerpiece of an unforgettable outdoor lifestyle.
This property is a joint venture between MidSouth Resource Management, LLC and Wildlife Investments, LLC, bringing together professional experience in habitat development, forestry, land management, and wildlife stewardship. Every acre has been thoughtfully planned, laid out, and managed with both wildlife and the landowner in mind.
The wildlife habitat on this farm is truly next level. Multiple separate prescribed fire units have been established, allowing different areas of the property to be managed on their own schedule and in different stages of habitat development. Thoughtful herbicide applications have helped create and maintain early successional habitat that will continue providing quality wildlife cover, browse, nesting, and brood-rearing areas for years to come.
Each management unit has a specific purpose. Some areas are managed for ideal whitetail browse and bedding cover, while others are designed to support wild turkey nesting and brood-rearing habitat. A strong population of deer and turkey provides excellent hunting opportunities, while the sound of wild quail whistling through the timber adds to the character and sporting heritage of the farm.
Large food plots are strategically positioned on the property and connected by an excellent internal trail system. Multiple access routes allow hunters to approach stands and hunting areas from different directions, making it easier to hunt changing wind conditions while minimizing disturbance to wildlife.
The recreational opportunities do not stop with deer, turkey, dove, and quail. Behind the lodge, long-range steel targets are set up for sharpening your marksmanship or enjoying friendly competition with family and guests.
Whether your passion is deer hunting, turkey hunting, dove shoots, wildlife management, shooting sports, or simply spending quality time outdoors, this remarkable Alabama property delivers an experience that is increasingly hard to find. This is more than a farm—it is a professionally managed wildlife retreat where Southern traditions are celebrated, memories are made, and a legacy can be passed from one generation to the next.
