Lonesome Dove Plantation presents a rare opportunity to own one of East Alabama's premier recreational and sporting properties. 975 acres in Russell County, this legacy estate has been carefully developed into a world-class destination for trophy whitetail deer, turkey, quail, dove, and sporting clays. Whether you are searching for a private family retreat, a corporate hunting lodge, or a legacy land investment, this offers a rare combination of scale, luxury improvements, and turnkey wildlife management. This prime location is just 30 minutes from Auburn, AL. This premier Alabama hunting property reflects years of thoughtful stewardship and heavy capital investment. The acreage has been intensively managed via an aggressive, year-round protein feeding program, resulting in an exceptional, mature deer herd. Over 50 acres of planted food plots and green fields are overlooked by 15 strategically placed Redneck blinds. Additionally, abundant wild populations provide outstanding spring turkey hunting. Middle Fork Cowikee Creek winds through the heart of the plantation. 5-acre trophy fishing pond, stocked and professionally maintained by Southeast Pond Management. Designed for the ultimate outdoor sportsman, the property is fully outfitted for premium wing shooting and shooting sports. Features an 8-acre sunflower dove field, multiple established quail hunting courses, and two custom skeet houses equipped with stadium-grade lights for nighttime shooting—a 2,000-square-foot cabin serving as the perfect hunting lodge or rustic family retreat. Two large pole barns provide ample storage for tractors, implements, and recreational vehicles. A professional-grade facility includes a walk-in deer cooler, a heated and cooled game processing room, and dedicated dog kennels. All land management equipment is included in the sale (a full list is available upon request), and a full-time land manager is willing to remain with the new owner for a seamless transition.
SIGNIFICANT PRICE REDUCTION This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped, income-producing pecan operation at a price well below the replacement cost of its assets alone. A certified cost segregation study has already been completed on this property, identifying substantial tax depreciation advantages available to the purchaser from day one. Ask your CPA — the numbers will get your attention. WHAT YOU ARE BUYING: 115 acres of established, irrigated pecan orchard in the heart of Alabama’s Chattahoochee River Valley — one of the most productive pecan-growing regions in the Southeast. Full underground irrigation system fed by a 5-acre pond, backed by a deep water well, with fertilizer injection capability — a system that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replicate. Commercial cleaning plant and full processing equipment housed in a large shop building. Retail building with cracking, shelling, and kitchen equipment — an existing direct-to-consumer revenue channel. Updated home, workshop, and retail storefront with AL Highway 26 and Shady Grove Road frontage. Multiple income streams already in place: wholesale pecan sales, retail sales, and significant untapped potential in agritourism, and event hosting. At $1,200,000, this property offers a compelling entry point for the right buyer. The physical assets — irrigation infrastructure, processing equipment, buildings, and established orchard — carry a replacement value that stands on its own. A knowledgeable buyer or operator can step in immediately and harvest a profitable crop in the first season of ownership. This is not a development play or a raw land purchase. This is a functioning agribusiness with hard assets, established infrastructure, and day-one operational capability — priced to move.
