1222 Boyd Road, Pickensville, AL 35447 (MLS# 139944)

Owl Creek is located on the AL/MS boundary in Pickens County, AL, just East of Macon, MS. When the lodge comes into view, it's hard not to pull over on the lakeshore and take it in. Perfectly situated on the water's edge, with 6 beds, 3.5 baths, screened porches, massive dining and entertaining areas, and sunset view that are otherworldly. Additionally, in the guest house on the north end of the lake are 3 beds with 2.5 baths. Owl Creek can easily sleep 22 guests comfortably and has not only been a family retreat for over 70 years, it has been the site of many weddings and other social functions. If you can drag yourself away from the lodge, you can begin to find your way around the 668 acres of unbelievable serenity and beauty. The improved road system winds its way through massive hardwood stands along the majestic Tenn-Tom River. Strategically located throughout the property are wildlife fields overflowing with deer and turkeys, purposefully flooded cypress brakes for waterfowl, and many deer stands only in need of an afternoon hunter. The timber component of Owl Creek is mainly mixed pine/hardwood forest. There are a few scattered areas of managed loblolly pine creating habitat throughout the property. A new owner looking to add more habitat and recover some of the purchase price could easily take advantage of the timber market in the area. Owl Creek Plantation sets the bar high for all the properties before, and all the properties yet to come.
