Estate on 24.9 Wooded Acres
Overview
Lease and Income Structure
This property is offered as real estate together with a sober living business concept. It is vacant today, so a buyer is opening a program rather than taking one over.
The Setting
The house sits on 24.9 wooded acres, up a winding paved drive from the main road. That matters more for recovery housing than it would for a private residence: no shared lot lines, no immediate neighbors, and enough distance from the road to give residents privacy without stranding them somewhere remote. Russellville, the Franklin County seat, is a short drive away.
The House
Custom built in 1991 in a creole style, the house runs across two stories with balconies and several covered decks. There are seven bedrooms and five and a half baths, dual walk-in closets off the master, and several bedrooms large enough to carry multiple beds. Beyond them sit a sunroom, a game room, a bonus room, and several oversized rooms with vaulted ceilings that convert naturally into common space or additional sleeping rooms.
Outside there are two detached garages, two metal outbuildings, barns and sheds, RV storage and a storm shelter. That gives a program storage, shop space, or somewhere to put vocational programming without building anything new.
Condition
The expensive systems are already done: new roof in 2021, new windows and doors, two HVAC units, a tankless water heater, and a new asphalt drive in 2020. Lighting, flooring, paint, the kitchen and the bathrooms have all been redone, and the kitchen carries granite counters and stainless appliances. What is left is cosmetic and operational. See Scope of Work below.
Who This Fits
An operator or investor who wants land and scale rather than a house on a village lot, and who is willing to open a program rather than buy one already running. Diligence should cover Alabama recovery-residence certification, county zoning and fair housing, water and septic capacity against the intended bed count, life safety systems, and the condition of the outbuildings.
Work Needed
The major systems have been replaced already: roof (2021), windows throughout, two HVAC units, a tankless water heater, and the asphalt driveway (2020). The kitchen has newer cabinetry and countertops. What remains is furnishing, life safety work, and the cosmetic and code items that come with turning a single-family house into multi-occupant residential use. The current budget is roughly $10,000 over about three months.
