Cowpens 50 Tallapoosa County
Description
Part of a land agent's job is to figure out what makes a given property special. With Cowpens 50, that did not take long. Cowpens 50 is located minutes north-east of downtown Alexander City, Tallapoosa County. The property consists of 50 +/- acres of young pine and hardwood timber with mature timber scattered throughout. What makes this property special is the diversity in habitat. Specifically the amount of early successional habitat. This amount of early successional habitat is what the state of Alabama lacks most. This habitat is the result of the current owner in years past cutting timber, mulching, and de-stumping throughout much of the property. The wildlife response to this complex habitat is unlike anything I've seen in many years. The most noticeable response is the amount of wild quail throughout the property. It's very rare in Alabama to see this amount of wild quail in one place. It truly gives a glimpse into Alabama's coveted past when quail was king. With just a little bit of work, this property could be a truly special place. With the age classes of timber, the amount of habitat, and virtually no stumps. The opportunities are endless. If owning a property with a nearly blank canvas and so much opportunity is a goal of yours, then dont miss your chance to contribute to conservation and own a truly special property.
