The Ellis Landing Tract is 1,656+/- acres located in Wilcox County Alabama. This is rare opportunity to own a large diverse tract along the beautiful Alabama River. This tract has been owned by Auburn University since 1947. Its primary use was a agricultural research facility for the university from 1949 until 2001. During that time the property was home to a beef cattle operation as well as a swine operation. The timber has also been managed during that time and includes a variety of age class and diversity from mature natural hardwood/pine mix, loblolly plantations, and longleaf plantations.
This tract was once home to the station's headquarters. The property has frontage along several public roads including Hwy 28, Ellis Landing Rd, CR 14, and Experiment Station Rd. There is a large red iron metal barn located near the site of the old headquarters along Ellis Landing Rd. The topography ranges from 280 ft in elevation down to 90 ft along the river. There are numerous established wildlife plots on the tract with a well-established road system to access them all. This area is known for producing quality whitetails. Several hard bottom creeks flow through the property and provide beautiful scenery with clear flowing water. Approximately 200 acres of this tract is pastureland along Hwy 28. Most of which is fenced and has been used recently for grazing cattle. An acreage map is attached with detailed land use breakdowns. A timber stand map is available upon request.
Ellis Landing Public boat launch is located adjacent to the tract and provides easy boat access to the river.
