The private-gated property is dominated by a four-bedroom, four-bathroom waterfront main lodge. The home was built sometime in the 1920s as part of the Pepperell Mills residential installment in Opelika before being moved and restored in the 1980s.



I am thinking you high rollers are going to jump at this.

Hell, if I had the money I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Not even to live there, though it sounds nice, but you can turn a nice profit on that place with good management year in and year out.

Was this his primary residence? Or a business venture for him?

ETA: seems like a steal for 7 million. 7 million where we are at will buy you a big house on a good amount of land. But not all that and 600 acres.

Is the rub that you have to live near Auburn or something how is it that cheap?

It's dated and doesn't have the quadruple tray ceiling* with a TV above the fireplace.

Hard pass

Both. It’s actually in Macon County so you will be helping out the diversity if you white baws but it.

I made be odd about this, but it would be weird knowing the previous owner was buried there.

CSB: Forrest During was my realtor when I bought some land in Henry County a few years ago.

Not-so-CSB: I couldn’t swing a $6.96million deal

Is it the same property that bo Jackson was "hired" to mow the grass during his time on the plains?
