WATERFALL VALLEY
$13,500,000
4,225 Acres in Colbert County, Alabama
Situated in Colbert County, Waterfall Valley is a unique, large-acreage wilderness property offering dramatic natural geography, rich ecological diversity, and substantial long-term timber value.
The panoramic ridges perched above shaded creek ravines and isolated canyons are impressive in their own right, but it’s the signature waterfalls that define this property. Imposing and stunning in the dry season, when the “falls are running” these 41 incredible marvels will take your breath away and echo in your mind for days.
This contiguous forest represents a true legacy property. Perfect for a private retreat, a hunting preserve, a high-yield timber investment, and a chance to conserve a piece of North Alabama’s natural beauty for generations, Waterfall Valley’s unique topography and size make that all possible, and at the same time.
- Rare, contiguous, large-acreage property
Waterfall Valley totals 4,225 acres, with roughly 56% of the property lying on broad ridges that have been in active forest management for almost 60 years. The rest of the acres lie below the highwalls that rim the ridgetops, and form an almost continuous barrier around the valley. Several access roads allow for getting in and out safely, but the limited access means that the valley has been relatively untouched for generations. Timber activity remains up top, leaving the valley – with all of its geology, history, diversity, and beauty – to remain just as it has been.
- minutes from the Shoals
This property is only a 15- to 20-minute drive from The Shoals, and 30 minutes from the Alabama Regional Airport. The Shoals comprises four cities, with Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals on the southern banks of the Tennessee River, and Florence on the north. Together their population totals 79,000, with Huntsville just an hour away.
- Dramatic Topography & Views
Undulating terrain, with deep hollows around the 500-foot contour, ascend to prominent ridges reaching over 900 feet at Timber Knob, and provide striking, panoramic views across the landscape.
- Abundant Water Resources
An extensive water network – including Waterfall Branch, Dry Creek Branch and Long Creek – flows through scenic hollows to create seasonal waterfalls, running streams, and shaded creek ravines.
- Diverse Timber Profile
A balanced composition with both mature hardwood valleys and managed pine stands.
- Geological CHARACTERISTICS
Features steep sandstone and limestone bluffs, natural rock overhangs, exposed outcroppings, and yes, those 41 waterfalls.
- Exceptional Habitat & Wildlife
The combination of rugged ridges, sheltered hollows, and fresh water creates rich natural cover and active travel corridors, offering a premier habitat for white-tailed deer and wild turkey, alongside a thriving ecosystem for songbirds, native amphibians, and local wildlife.
- Turnkey Hunting Lease
A well-respected hunting club has leased the hunting rights for over 62 years and have been excellent stewards of the land, maintaining food plots and roads and alerting the landowners on the rare occasion when something might need their attention. The lease can be terminated or assumed by the new owner.
