ALLSBORO LIMESTONE FARMS

Cherokee, Colbert County, Alabama, and Tishomingo County, Mississippi CONTACT FOR PRICE 1,346± Acres


INTRODUCTION A rare farm and ranch opportunity straddling Allsboro Road along the Mississippi and Alabama state line, this unique property boasts beautiful rolling topography. It offers wide open acreage with proven limestone and gravel potential, providing buyers with both agricultural freedom and significant mineral value. The land combines rolling pasture, timber pockets, fertile irrigated farmland, and easy access, making it ideal for someone interested in taking advantage of the highly sought-after limestone resource, farming, cattle ranching, recreation, or long-term investment. Approximately 1,063 acres are located in Alabama, contiguous with approximately 283 acres in Mississippi. A modest brick house located on the property can be used as a permanent residence, weekend retreat, or converted into office space. Thirteen spring-fed ponds provide an ample water source for livestock purposes, or the lay of the land can be utilized to form an approximately 150-acre lake for rural-residential development opportunities. Year-round water flowing in Bear Creek and Johnson Branch irrigates the farmland by pump and a relift station. A 40’ x 80’ metal shed with electricity has plenty of space for parking large farm equipment. Few properties in the region offer this combination of natural beauty and documented mineral resources, creating a unique chance to own a productive and strategically located tract in the heart of the Southeast. The property represents an attractive investment opportunity in one of the Southeast’s most consistent and resilient industrial sectors: limestone aggregate production. Situated in a region renowned for its extensive limestone resources and favorable topography for extraction, the property offers potential for long-term mineral development, positioning investors to capitalize on both regional and national demand for construction materials. This diverse property sits atop Tuscumbia Limestone, Ste. Genevieve Limestone, and Bethel Sandstone formations. Shallow topsoil quickly gives way to valuable mineral resources. Truck, rail, and barge transport are all available via the nearby Tombigbee and Tennessee Rivers. Nashville, Huntsville, and Birmingham are a short drive away, and nearby mining operations—active for nearly 50 years—reflect a region known for mining-friendly regulations.

INCOME OPPORTUNIT Y Limestone and gravel occur at shallow depths, presenting a compelling opportunity for an investmentminded buyer. Recent soil boring results are on file with the listing brokers and available to qualified parties. The Allsboro/Cherokee area sits within Alabama’s carbonate-rich belt, a region long recognized for producing consistent, high-quality limestone. The property benefits from strong location fundamentals, including low population density, direct local road access with efficient connections to U.S. 72, proximity to the Shoals construction market, and a costefficient rural operating environment. These factors support the commercial viability of a new extraction site or integration into an existing aggregate supply network. With appropriate due diligence, the property could support a quarry operation, satellite pit, processing or load-out facility, or be held as a long-term mineral reserve. This optionality allows for near-term production or strategic positioning for future market cycles. Northwest Alabama offers a favorable operating climate, lower aggregate competition, an experienced workforce, and sustained infrastructure investment. In addition, the land has supported irrigated cotton production, cattle operations, and limited timber harvest, providing diversified income potential beyond mineral development.
