Longleaf Ridge

The northwest side of Lee County offers a good mix of rural privacy, usable land, and convenience to nearby towns and outdoor recreation. The area is known for its rolling terrain, timberland, pasture, and larger acreage tracts that appeal to landowners looking for recreational property, homesites, or long-term investment potential. Located just outside of Auburn and Opelika, the northwest portion of the county provides easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday amenities while still maintaining a quieter, more rural setting. Its location also places it within a short drive of Lake Martin, one of Alabama’s most popular recreational lakes known for boating, fishing, and waterfront dining. With a combination of recreational appeal, accessibility, and continued growth throughout the surrounding area, northwest Lee County remains a desirable part of east Alabama for both full-time residents and land investors.Located in the northwest portion of Lee County, Longleaf Ridge is a 160 ± acre timber and recreational land investment property offering rolling topography, strong access, and a highly desirable location near both Auburn and Lake Martin. With elevations ranging from approximately 580 feet to over 740 feet at its highest point, the property features impressive terrain and several scenic high points that provide long-range views across miles of countryside. An established internal road system provides access throughout the property and leads to two established wildlife food plots. A fire lane encompasses the perimeter of the tract, allowing for continued prescribed burning, timber management, and easy access around the boundaries of the property. Timber on the property consists of approximately 112 ± acres of 10-year-old longleaf pine and an additional 48 ± acres of 10-year-old loblolly pine located on the south end of the tract. Access is provided by Old County Road 79, a former county-maintained road where the recorded right-of-way still exists and continues to serve neighboring landowners. The entrance to Old CR 79 is gated, adding an additional level of privacy and limited access to the area. Properties of this size and quality in Lee County continue to see strong demand due to the area’s continued growth and proximity to Auburn University, Lake Martin, and the expanding east Alabama market. Land values throughout Lee County have increased substantially over the past decade, and Longleaf Ridge presents an opportunity to own property in one of the most desirable regions in east Alabama.
