Listing remarks

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.
