55.00 Acres At 00 Blackberry Ridge Road

This 55+/- ac property will be great for recreation, but it is an exceptional investment. You could throw a rock and hit the Mercedes plant. This flat to gently sloping property just a few hundred yards from I59 would be a great place to build condominiums or rental homes for the Mercedes employees or for students off-campus living at the University of Alabama or anyone looking to get out of town but be close enough to Birmingham or Tuscaloosa for work, shopping or night out. If you live in Hoover, Vestavia, Tuscaloosa, or Northport you can leave the house and be in the stand while your coffee is still hot. This property has not been hunted in years but is known for trophy bucks and lots of turkey. The tract has good internal roads, ATV trails, and two powerlines that cross the property providing access and many potential food plots. There is a small year-round spring-fed creek on one side of the property that could feed a nice pond for wildlife or a nature area if developed. Hunting and recreation are a nice plus while you wait but the real reason to purchase this property is the potential return on investment. Birmingham and Tuscaloosa are continuing to grow. They are not making any more land, and the location of this property should only increase in value. This property is in an economic development and business opportunity zone making it available for special tax incentives and potential grant opportunities. Mercedes has built several support plants in the immediate area, and Bibb County is hoping to expand the West Jefferson County Rail Hub servicing Amazon and the metro Birmingham industrial logistical centers. The Bibb County Industrial Park is just a few miles down the road in Woodstock and the newly opened UAB West Medical Center is less than 15 minutes from the front door. This would make a great place for short-term or long-term housing or a new opportunity in a business-friendly area. So, if you are chasing long beard turkey or big bucks of either kind this is a must-see! Listing provided by: Kathy Leatherwood
