Maxwell Plantation, a 2,463 +/- acre historic paradise located just minutes from downtown Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama campus, will be sold at an auction on Thursday, July 29th. The event will be conducted by The National Auction Group (www.nationalauctiongroup.com) of Gadsden, Alabama, an elite team of highly-trained specialists in the marketing of one-of-a-kind, high-end properties.
Established in 1852 by James Robert Maxwell, the plantation has a rich history of farming, cattle operation and river commerce. Now operating as an income producing cattle operation, the property has over four miles of frontage on the Black Warrior River, two trophy bass lakes and more than 8.5 miles of clear flowing creeks. Boat houses, piers, and utilities at each body of water make the outdoor experience that much more enjoyable.
The focal point of the plantation is the large home called Honeysuckle Hill which includes six bedrooms and six baths and is situated directly on the river. The home features hardwood floors, three fireplaces, a four-car garage and a swimming pool and spa. Other residences include a river front lodge and two farm manager’s homes near the entrance to the property. There is also a shop and equipment shed with plantation offices, numerous barns and a 3,000 foot grass landing strip with a hangar.
“This is truly a gorgeous and historic plantation in a terrific location,” said William Bone, President of The National Auction Group. “With its great location so close to the Bryant Denny Stadium, it is an ideal permanent residence or second home or weekend getaway.”
The plantation will be available for viewing daily, by appointment, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800-473-2292 or 256-547-3434. Closing will be within 30 days. The auction will take place at the property.
