Happy 121st birthday to our incredible partners at the U.S. Forest Service! 🎉🎂🎈

For more than a century, the Forest Service has been the backbone of forest conservation in America protecting 193 million acres of National Forests and Grasslands, ensuring clean water for millions, providing habitat for countless species, and creating spaces where generations of Americans have found adventure, solace, and inspiration.

As their congressionally chartered nonprofit partner, we're honored to stand alongside the Forest Service in this vital mission. Together, we're transforming America's deep love for nature into tangible action: rebuilding wildfire resilience across our forests, restoring the land and watersheds sustain us, and reconnecting people to the outdoors.

The next 121 years will bring new challenges, but also unprecedented opportunities. We're building toward a future where caring for our forests isn't just a job for land managers, it's second nature for every American. 🌍💚

So here's to the rangers, scientists, firefighters, and stewards who give their all to National Forests. 🥂

DENVER ROAD 80 | Tallapoosa County | 80 Acres

If you’ve been searching for land that offers real privacy without giving up convenience, this 80-acre tract deserves a serious look.

Located just minutes from the Tallapoosa River and only 15–20 minutes from Lake Martin, this property puts you close to some of Alabama’s best recreation while still feeling completely secluded once you arrive. Grocery stores, restaurants, and even Auburn are nearby—but on the property, it’s quiet, peaceful, and private.

The land features a healthy pine plantation that will be ready for thinning in the next couple of years, creating both immediate and long-term value. A couple of food plots are already in place, and the deer and turkey hunting is excellent.

Whether you’re looking for a recreational retreat, hunting property, or a homesite in a prime location, Denver Road 80 checks all the boxes.

Ep. 760 - Why Most Hunters Try Too Hard with Scott Seales & Mike Dillion

In this video, we sit down with our good buddy Scott Seales, who has been a big deer hunting mentor for us in the last few years! Scott's advice directly helped Jacob and Andrew tag their last two bucks, including Jacob's biggest Alabama buck to date!

We start by going over how Jacob found the spot he hunted and tagged his big buck on a new-to-him piece of public land in Alabama. We then discuss why a lot of hunters have the skills they need to be successful, yet they still struggle. Scott goes over how he keeps things simple and explains where most guys go wrong when it comes to overthinking big bucks. We are also joined by Andrew's stepdad, Mike Dillon to get an update on his season and learn what has made the biggest difference for him going from not seeing many deer last season, to tagging two bucks and a doe this season.

CASTAWAY COVE | Lake Martin | 8.5 Acres of Waterfront Privacy

Opportunities like this don’t come along often on Lake Martin.

Castaway Cove offers 8.5 acres of waterfront with 328 feet of shoreline, gently rolling terrain, and massive mature trees that level perfectly at the water. Most Lake Martin listings offer a fraction of the acreage at similar prices—making this property an exceptional value for buyers who want space, privacy, and long-term upside.

Tucked away in a quiet, protected cove with very little boat traffic, the setting feels more like a cul-de-sac on the water. You can truly enjoy the lake without feeling crowded by neighboring docks or homes.

Now offered at a new, significantly reduced price, this is one of the largest waterfront tracts currently available in this highly desirable area—just minutes from restaurants, marinas, and Chimney Rock, yet completely secluded once you arrive.

HOPE HULL TRANSITIONAL LAND | 86 Acres in the Path of Progress

Opportunities like this don’t come around often. This 86-acre tract sits in the heart of one of Central Alabama’s fastest-growing industrial and logistics corridors, with more than $7 billion in active investment within a three-mile radius.

Surrounded by major projects from Hyundai, Amazon, Meta, Mobis, and others, this property offers exceptional long-term upside. At the same time, it’s simply beautiful land—open fields, mature trees, a well-stocked pond, and gently rolling terrain that’s enjoyable today and positioned for tomorrow.

Whether you’re looking to hold for appreciation, enjoy recreational use now, or secure a strategic transitional asset, this property checks every box.

Call or message me for details or to schedule a tour.

The land is covered in approximately 9-year-old loblolly pines, making it easy to clear a homesite and tuck your house back into the trees for privacy. There are also nice hardwoods throughout, and plenty of room for a garden, chickens, or even a small food plot for deer and turkey.

Water and power are available nearby, and the location makes this a great fit for a homesite, mini-farm, or weekend retreat.

Call or message me for more details or to schedule a tour.

Meet Eric

I first received my real estate license in 1993. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 1984 w/ a degree in Corporate Finance & Investment. My professional background includes commercial loan officer with a large regional bank, starting the first commercial alligator farm in Alabama, real estate appraiser concentrating in commercial & timber/recreational land, & real estate development, developing shopping centers & Walgreens.

My diverse background lends itself well to understanding how the numbers work in putting together a real estate deal, but my love & respect for the land helps me to understand the intangible part of investing in land – that most people are also looking for a place to make memories that will last a lifetime & own a sanctuary from the “busyness” of everyday life.

With thousands of properties consistently on the market in Alabama, you need a quality REALTOR who has YOUR best interest at heart. I promise to always do it “The Right Way.” Great Southern Land has been a leader in the land industry since 1974 – so whether you are looking for that perfect hunting tract or looking to sell, let me put my experience to work for YOU. I can help you navigate the process and ensure your land goals are met.
