This property offers privacy and a perfect site for new home construction. Located on Hwy 181, southeast of the Fairhope Airport and Polo ground. It doesn't get much better than this. Asking $1,531,000. I would ask a higher price, but... in the spirit of full disclosure... 1) The land is very old. You see it was formed during the Pliocene Epoch 5.33 million to 2.58 million years ago. And before that during the Paleozoic Era, 500,000 million years ago, it was under 100 feet of ocean. Today it is high and dry, about 100 feet above sea level, shows no shrinkage, still 40.6 acres, and actually looks really good for its age. 2) And the land is used. There used to be farmers and their kids living there. The kids were bad about taking care of things. They ran all over it with and without shoes, shot slingshots, fished, grew chickens and watermelons, picked pecans, rode horses and pretty much sucked all the joy from it. And their parents treated the place like dirt. But worse, a herd of cattle used to eat there, for free mind you, and they just crapped all over it. Well, we hired a guy (in hindsight rather shady because he was wearing boots and a cowboy hat pulled low over his eyes) to haul them away and last we heard he had sold them all to the owner of a hamburger store. I suppose they are just as happy there. Oh, about the rumored strongbox of Confederate gold, which I never found... look here, 40 acres is 1,742,400 square feet, can you expect me to check every foot? The dogs used to dig holes wherever and whenever they felt like it, but they never said they found anything. I was always suspicious though, because every Christmas a new L. L. Bean Premium Deluxe dog bed arrived prepaid and not ordered by me. Maybe your dogs will be more trustworthy and tell you if they dig up anything. Offers happily considered and I’m not easily offended… unless you say my children are the spitting image of neighbor farmer Paul. My kids always called him Paw, but I think that is just a speech thang because my wife let them stay on the udder too long and their teeth were affected. I took a number two pencil (a number one is too light) and showed them how to spell Paul, but that did no good. My wife is beyond suspicion because she is good and true as the day when we were 13-year-old newlyweds. Anyway, there is now no danger to your bloodline (should you buy the place) because Paul was emasculated some time ago. Those emasculation kits are available at the farmers’ co-op. You’re welcome to come look the place over and do your figuring. You can use my number two pencil; there is still plenty left since it wasn’t used much. Afraid to make an offer? Don’t be. Already subjected to that annoying farmers’ co-op kit? Oh, so sorry I failed to warn you. Well, in any case you might enjoy a trip out to the countryside. See by appointment.
