Property Description

Discover 6.93 Wooded Acres Near West Georgia's Riverfront Scene

Well-positioned between rural Alabama and the riverfront culture of Columbus, Georgia, this 6.93 Acres property offers a strong sense of place. Over time, mature deciduous and evergreen trees, winding wildlife trails, and quiet wetlands have shaped the land into a secluded woodland retreat in eastern Russell County, Alabama.

Land Meant for Stewardship & Private Use

This rare kind of land invites exploration, stewardship, and imagination more than a conventional blueprint. Located near the Georgia state line and roughly 20 minutes from both Phenix City, Alabama, and Columbus, Georgia, the property sits in a region that's quietly redefining itself through outdoor recreation, river culture, and renewed appreciation for wild places.

Trees, Trails, & Natural Wetlands

The land is richly wooded, with a beautiful mix of deciduous and evergreen trees that provides year-round texture and privacy. Several subtle, hidden trails wind through the property, encouraging slow walks, wildlife watching, and a deeper connection to the landscape.

Cowpen Creek crosses the northern portion of the land, feeding into low wetlands that are part of a living creek system. This northern half lies within a 100-Year floodplain, shaping the property's character and making it especially appealing to buyers who value conservation, recreation, or a buffer of untouched nature rather than intensive development.

A Practical Foothold Along Doe Drive with Internet, Power, & Water

Meanwhile, the southern portion of the property, fronting Doe Drive, gently slopes downward from the road and offers the most practical area for a potential building site.

With approximately 322 feet of road frontage, electricity available at the road, and access to internet and water, this front section provides a foothold for those considering a small structure, cabin, or basecamp-style setup.

Freedom & Flexibility without Zoning or Covenant Limitations

Septic approval is granted per parcel, so buyers planning to build should be ready for thorough due diligence and adaptability. However, there is no zoning and no covenants or restrictions-offering freedom, privacy, and creative control rarely found in more developed areas.

Quiet Access with Room to Breathe

Doe Drive is a dirt road that ends in a quiet cul-de-sac at the southeast corner of the property, reinforcing the sense of seclusion while keeping you connected to nearby towns, recreation, and amenities.

Phenix City: A Region Experiencing New Life

Aptly named Phenix City-a nod to “new life”-the surrounding area is experiencing a steady renaissance, drawing people who value access to nature, outdoor adventure, river recreation, and a slower pace without being isolated. Phenix City offers both small-town charm and compelling historical sites.

The Chattahoochee RiverWalk: A Living Cultural Corridor

Just across the state line, Columbus, Georgia, is home to the Chattahoochee RiverWalk, a 15-mile linear park tracing the river from Bibb City down toward Fort Moore. This vibrant corridor blends scenic walking and biking paths with deep historical roots, passing remnants of Civil War-era naval yards, the Chattahoochee Iron Works, and cultural landmarks such as the Coca-Cola Space Science Center.

Downtown Access & Riverfront Energy

The RiverWalk also connects to downtown Columbus attractions and the Civic Center, making it a hub for recreation and culture.

Fishing, Wildlife, & Outdoor Recreation

For adventure seekers, the nearby RushSouth Whitewater Park (the “longest urban whitewater course in the world”) in downtown Columbus offers world-class rafting, kayaking, and zip lining-right in the heart of the city.

This quiet wooded tract would make a great base camp for seasonal or year-round instructors who prefer to retreat to the country after a long day of sunny outdoor adventures.

Fishing the Chattahoochee: Life on the Water

Likewise, anglers are drawn to the Chattahoochee River for its excellent fishing, including shoal bass, striped bass, hybrid bass, catfish, and even some trout; the river is considered the southernmost trout river in the United States.

Springtime brings spawning stripers, while accessible banks along the RiverWalk and at the Bulldog Boat Launch, just 20 minutes away, make it easy to spend long days by the water. (Plus, Bulldog Boat Launch has parking, restrooms, a playground, and bait and tackle on site. It is free to use/park, and it's a great spot to access some of the best rapids for fishing.)

Outdoor Destinations Within Reach

Beyond Columbus and Phenix City, the region opens up to an impressive range of outdoor destinations. Walter F. George Reservoir extends 85 miles along the Chattahoochee River and is known as the “Big Bass Capital of the World.” There's also plenty of room to camp, boat, and picnic.

For big game hunting and remote wilderness adventures, Barbour County Wildlife Management Area, Tuskegee National Forest, and Lake Martin (on the Tallapoosa River) are all within reach.

Auburn and Montgomery add university energy, dining, and cultural events, rounding out the area's appeal.

Land for Those Who Value Nature Over Development

This tucked-away gem is not for everyone-and that's its strength. It's best suited for buyers seeking recreational land, a private nature retreat, or a conservation-minded investment. If you're seeking hold-and-enjoy ownership, this is the perfect place to enjoy wetlands, woods, and water as they are.

A Rare Opportunity for Unrestricted Land Ownership

With nearby utilities, no restrictions, and proximity to one of the Southeast's most dynamic riverfronts, this 6.93-Acre tract offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of land that prioritizes freedom, nature, and possibility over convention. Claim it while you can.
