10 Shy Homestead

Ranch Description

Located in northern Henry County near the Edwin Community, 10 Shy Homestead encompasses approximately 425 acres of rolling Wiregrass landscape in Clopton, Alabama. The property enjoys over two miles of frontage along County Roads 75, 259, and 54, providing access from multiple directions and creating long-term flexibility for future use, management, or investment. Additional acreage is available for purchase , offering an opportunity to expand the property's footprint and management potential.

At the heart of the property, a 2,454-Square-Foot ranch-style home and accompanying barn with a small apartment sit atop a scenic hill overlooking a 3.4-Acre pond and a beautifully established longleaf pine savannah. The homesite is situated within a fenced three-acre setting and is surrounded by fruit trees, muscadine vines, and other mast-producing plantings that offer seasonal harvest opportunities and enhance the property's rural character.

Approximately 387 acres have been planted in longleaf pine, now entering their third growing season. The stands have been well maintained and create excellent habitat for quail, turkey, and deer while also supporting the property's long-term management objective of producing marketable pine straw. The open nature of the young longleaf stands, combined with the gently rolling topography, creates an attractive and highly usable landscape for recreation, wildlife management, or future agricultural pursuits.

On the northern portion of the property, near the intersection of County Roads 259 and 75, are multiple equipment barns and grain bins that provide additional utility and potential for a variety of uses. With extensive road frontage surrounding the property on multiple sides, the tract offers uncommon accessibility and future flexibility. Additionally, the age and spacing of the longleaf pine provide an opportunity for portions of the property to be converted into pastureland or row-crop agriculture if desired.

10 Shy Homestead is a unique combination of residential improvements, wildlife habitat, longleaf pine investment, and future land-use flexibility in one of the most desirable rural areas of the Wiregrass region. Whether utilized as a private residence, recreational retreat, working land investment, or expanded through the acquisition of additional acreage, the property offers a rare blend of features and opportunities.

Location Description

10 Shy Homestead is located in part of Alabama's historic Wiregrass area, known for its strong agricultural heritage, productive timberland, and outstanding recreational opportunities. The landscape is defined by gently rolling topography, mature pine forests, hardwood bottoms, and fertile farmland supported by the area's mild climate and long growing seasons. Large tracts of managed timberland mixed with creek systems and wildlife habitat make the region especially desirable for hunting, outdoor recreation, and recreational land ownership throughout the Southeast, while still offering convenient access to larger nearby markets such as Dothan, Auburn, and Columbus.

Rich in Southern history and rural tradition, the area was originally inhabited by the Creek Nation before becoming an important farming region during the nineteenth century. Agriculture remains a driving force today, with peanuts, row crops, cattle, and timber production continuing to shape the local economy and culture. The region is widely recognized for its close-knit rural communities, sporting traditions, and scenic countryside that blends working land with recreational appeal.
