239 Pope Rd Lot Wp002, Gadsden, AL 35901

Located just east of Gadsden, Alabama, this 118 +/- acre recreational and hunting property offers an uncommon combination of Coosa River frontage, productive wildlife habitat, mature timber, open ground, internal roads, water features, and paved road access. With more than 2,000 feet of frontage along the Coosa River, approximately 7 +/- acres of slough water, strategically located food plots, a large riverfront field, and an established trail system, this property is well-suited for hunting, fishing, boating, recreation, and a potential homesite or private retreat.Water is one of the defining features of the property. The eastern boundary follows the Coosa River for more than 2,000 feet, providing an extensive stretch of river frontage and direct exposure to one of northeast Alabama's best-known river systems. A broad slough extends from the river back into the interior of the tract and covers approximately 7+/- acres. The slough bends through the property around subtle ridges and creates a large amount of additional water's edge. High banks along portions of the slough provide elevated views across the water and make the trail system particularly enjoyable for riding, hiking, wildlife observation, and accessing different portions of the property.The combination of river frontage and slough water also adds another dimension to the recreational possibilities. The water can provide opportunities for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and exploring the shoreline. The Coosa River system in the Gadsden area is known for fisheries that include largemouth bass, Alabama spotted bass, crappie, striped bass, catfish, and other freshwater species. The tract's extensive shoreline creates a recreational feature that can be enjoyed throughout much of the year.Access is from the west along Pope Road, a paved county road with utilities available along the road. From the entrance, the property transitions into an upland stand of mature pine timber that has received a first thinning. This pine habitat provides both recreational appeal and wildlife cover while allowing sunlight to reach portions of the forest floor. Several established food plots are positioned within the pine stand, giving hunters multiple locations to manage forage and set up for deer and turkey hunting.An established road and UTV trail system provides access throughout the property. The trail network connects the upland timber, food plots, hardwood drains, slough shoreline, river corridor, and open field areas. This internal access makes it easier to reach hunting locations, maintain food plots, manage timber, retrieve game, and simply enjoy riding or walking the property. Trails running along the slough offer repeated views of the water and highlight the extent of edge habitat throughout the tract.Near the Coosa River is a large field approximately 12 +/- acres. This open ground adds another important habitat and management component. It could continue to serve as an agricultural or hay field, be converted into a large wildlife food plot, or potentially be managed as pasture depending on the goals of the next owner. A shooting house is already positioned in the field, providing an established location for rifle hunting and observation across the open acreage.Habitat diversity is one of the property's strongest characteristics. Mature pine timber, hardwood drains, open fields, planted food plots, river frontage, slough habitat, shoreline edge, and transitional cover are all found within approximately 118 acres. These different vegetation and water types create multiple habitat zones within a relatively compact tract. Whitetail deer and wild turkey are primary hunting targets, while water, open fields, and varied cover may also create opportunities for ducks and doves, depending on seasonal conditions and management practices.The hardwood drains provide additional travel corridors and mast-producing habitat within the tract. Combined with the pine stand, food plots, open field, water sources, and extensive edge, these drainages add another layer of cover and structure for wildlife. Hunters can approach the property from several habitat types and establish stand locations around food sources, travel corridors, field edges, timber transitions, and water.Beyond hunting, this Coosa River property offers significant year-round recreational value. Owners can ride UTVs along the internal road system, hike the high banks overlooking the slough, fish along the river and backwater areas, launch a canoe or kayak, manage wildlife habitat, maintain food plots, or spend time enjoying the property's mix of timber and water. The variety of terrain and habitat provides numerous areas to explore without requiring a very large acreage footprint.For buyers considering improvements, the property also offers potential locations for a homesite, cabin, lodge, or private recreational retreat, subject to applicable permitting, utilities, soils, floodplain considerations, and local regulations. Paved access to Pope Road and nearby utilities may simplify future planning compared with more remote recreational tracts.Its location just east of Gadsden provides access to supplies, restaurants, lodging, medical services, and other amenities while retaining the recreational character buyers often seek in northeast Alabama land. The property combines river frontage, backwater habitat, timber, open acreage, wildlife management opportunities, and an established access system on a single tract.For hunters, anglers, recreational land buyers, or those searching for acreage along the Coosa River near Gadsden, this 118 +/- acre property deserves consideration.
