INTRODUCING THE SHELBY 20, LOCATED JUST MINUTES FROM COLUMBIANA AND LAY LAKE, ALABAMA. Tucked away behind the historic Shelby Iron Works, this beautiful 20A± acre property offers the kind of privacy and seclusion that is getting harder to find in Shelby County. The land combines recreational appeal, multiple potential homesites, and exceptional privacy.
The tract features mature timber throughout, a well-maintained internal road system, and a beautiful 1.9A± acre spring-fed lake with fish. A second smaller pond adds even more character and recreational potential.
One of the most unique features of the Shelby 20 is its private access off Highway 42. This was originally Lot #7 in The Ranches at Shelby Lakes and is the last remaining lot with private access from Highway 42. Even more unique, it is the only lot in the development with its own private lake.
With multiple potential homesites, mature timber, private water, and excellent access, the Shelby 20 offers plenty of options for a private estate, weekend getaway, recreational property, or family homestead. Properties such as this with so much to offer, especially in Shelby County, are a rare find; act fast!
