This 83± acre property located at the “Forks of the River” in Empire, Alabama, offers a rare combination of riverfront access, recreational potential, and investment opportunity. With nearly three-quarters of a mile along the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior River, it provides multiple ideal sites for riverfront homes, cabins, or RV pads, along with ample space for deer hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventures. This area is known for its boating and excellent fishing, including spotted and striped bass, crappie, catfish, and panfish. Just downstream, the Mulberry Fork intersects with the Sipsey Fork, home to Alabama’s only year-round trout fishery. Rainbow trout are stocked at Smith Lake Dam and often venture downstream to the forks. Much of the river frontage is well-suited for boat docks, with a public boat launch located directly across the road. A 2.8± acre spring-fed pond adds charm and additional fishing opportunities, while also serving as a resting area for waterfowl. The 0.85-mile internal road system also serves as an easement benefiting two neighboring properties and provides easy access to the river frontage. Approximately 200’ of paved road frontage and the scenic bridge along the southern boundary further enhance the setting. Public water and electricity are available, simplifying development plans. The eastern side of the tract rises steeply, offering elevated views over the water, while the riverfront remains flat and accessible. Hunters will appreciate the strong deer and small-game potential, anglers can enjoy both the pond and the river, and investors may consider subdividing the property into multiple riverfront lots. The owners say they’ll miss the quiet mornings watching mist rise from the water, a daily reminder of the property’s peaceful charm. Previously mined, this tract now offers established roads, utilities, and remarkable river frontage. With easy access to Jasper, Birmingham, Huntsville, Cullman, and Smith Lake, this property combines water features, recreational opportunities, and investment potential in a way that is increasingly hard to find. Whether for a private retreat, multiple riverfront cabins, an RV park, or a long-term investment, this Alabama property is ready for its next owner.
