Clopton 280

Ranch Description

Located in northwest Henry County near the Barbour and Dale County lines, this 280-Acre tract offers a combination of timber investment and recreational opportunities in an area known for its strong wildlife populations. The property is situated just north of Highway 10 and approximately 2.5 miles from Clopton, providing convenient access while maintaining a private rural setting.

Approximately 275 acres of the property are planted in 3-year-old loblolly pine, with the balance of the acreage consisting of internal roads and established wildlife food plots. The young pine plantation is growing well and provides future timber income potential while also creating developing habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife.

Recreational opportunities are a major feature of the property. The area has long been recognized for quality deer and turkey hunting, and sightings of wild coveys of quail are still common, a rarity across much of Alabama today. Five established wildlife food plots are currently in place, and the property's layout offers numerous opportunities to expand the food plot system if desired.

A perimeter fire lane surrounds the tract, providing access around the property and supporting future timber management activities. The terrain is characterized by rolling topography, with elevations ranging from approximately 390 feet where Jordan Ditch originates to over 520 feet near the center of the property. This variation in elevation creates a diverse landscape, offering multiple habitat types, scenic views, and a variety of hunting setups throughout the tract.

With its combination of young planted timber, established wildlife infrastructure, manageable access, and desirable location, this property presents an opportunity for both recreational enjoyment and long-term land investment.

Location Description

The Clopton 280 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.
