About this property
40-Acre Former Dairy Farm - Just 30 Minutes from Downtown Tuscaloosa This beautiful 40-acre former dairy farm is a rare find, offering rolling countryside, mature timber, abundant water, and an impressive collection of farm improvements, all just 30 minutes from downtown Tuscaloosa. At the heart of the property is a charming 1,200-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse with a covered patio perfect for grilling, entertaining, and enjoying quiet evenings in the country. Elsewhere on the property, a stocked, spring-fed pond with a fishing pier adds to the picturesque setting and recreational appeal. The farm is exceptionally well equipped with a barn featuring a tack room, feed room, and hay loft; a five-bay equipment shed with a new roof; and a three-bay insulated shop on a concrete pad with two 12-foot roll-up doors. A large storm shelter capable of accommodating approximately 25 people provides additional security and potential for other uses. The 40 acres feature beautiful rolling topography with three established food plots and a picturesque mix of mature hardwood and pine timber. Nearly a decade ago, the standing timber was cruised and valued at approximately $70,000, speaking to the quality of the timber found throughout the property. A 260-foot-deep well drilled into a substantial aquifer provides an excellent water source. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end road with neighbors who appreciate the same peaceful country lifestyle, this property truly is a little slice of heaven. Whether you're looking for a family farm, country homestead, recreational retreat, or simply a place with room to slow down and enjoy the land, properties with this combination of character, improvements, and natural beauty are getting harder and harder to find.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
