AS we walked into Bankhead National Forest it seemed like time had stopped, pine trees 50 to 75 feet tall circumferences of 4 and 5 feet , oak trees much larger, much older. Then we entered the 9#/- acres and felt like intruders, land enjoyed by others many many years before.Then as we walked down the middle of the 9 acres for sale and looking out at the blue water to the east and then to the west, we felt something very special, a quietness, beauty and serenity that one finds so seldom. We continued our walk and and found an old round stone fire pit from years past and looking towards the beach where someone recently had a camp fire. I sat down on a large rock and just listened and the only thing we heard were the birds singing and chirping. and wondering how many Indians and settlers may have sat on this very rock that I was sitting on.
Can anyone imagine having the opportunity to own part of the past, something undisturbed, private and still pristine. Then you add 1300 feet of the cleanest, diamond blue water on each side of this peninsula. Your only immediate neighbor is Bankhead National Forest!! I wonder who will purchase this property and enjoy the past, present, future and continue to keep it pristine and private?
You are only 1/2 mile from the Peninsula, what a view of the ridge tops from your car.
