305 Cottonton Road, Pittsview, AL 36871
Approx. 1,736 sq ft | 2 Bedrooms | 1.5 Bathrooms | 14.07 Acres
For Sale By Owner – $349,000
Set several hundred feet back from the road, this private 14.07-acre property offers true quiet, usable land, and modern connectivity. A long private driveway leads to a two-story ivy-covered cottage surrounded by open fields, mature woods, and natural springs. It’s the kind of peace that’s getting harder to find.
Inside the home, you don’t hear the road at all. Outside, most days it’s simply the wind and the woods. Yet the location remains practical. Columbus, Auburn, Eufaula, Lake Eufaula, and Opelika are all within reasonable driving distance, and Fort Benning is roughly 20 minutes away. You get privacy without isolation.
The home offers approximately 1,736 square feet with two bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms. It includes central heating and air, modern utilities, a solid staircase built along the wall over a reinforced pantry, and a large front porch overlooking the field.
One of the biggest advantages is 1-gig fiber-optic internet, which is rare for rural property and ideal for remote work, online business, or high-bandwidth needs.
The land is roughly half meadow and half woods, with multiple natural springs and abundant wildlife. There are several suitable areas for additional buildings depending on buyer preference and county guidelines. Workshops, barns, additional cabins, livestock, or RV pads are all possible. A 30-amp RV hookup is already in place. Property taxes are low, and there is no HOA.
For buyers interested in gardening or long-term food production, the property includes 20+ fruit and nut trees currently producing, with approximately 25 additional young trees already established and continuing to mature. This does not include the berry bushes, vines, herbs, and other plantings throughout the property. Raised beds, greenhouse space, and a functional 1,000-gallon aquaponics system are also present. These systems are fully operational but entirely optional. The land can be enjoyed simply as peaceful acreage if preferred.
A turnkey plant-nursery setup may be included if desired, including greenhouse, soil, pots, and growing areas.
The surrounding area includes many retired military households and long-term residents, creating a quiet and respectful rural community. Deer and turkey are common in the area.

What the owner loves about this home
What we’ve loved most about this home is the life our family was able to live here. Set far back from the road and surrounded by open land and woods, it gave our kids the freedom to grow up exploring safely. Their days were spent catching frogs at the springs, climbing trees, walking the trails, and discovering the natural world in a way that’s become rare today.
We planted fruit trees, berries, herbs, and gardens with them in mind. Watching them pick pears and figs straight from the branches, snack on berries in the field, and pull vegetables from the soil are memories we’ll always be grateful for. Over the years, the land produced more food than we could ever use, and sharing it with friends and neighbors became part of the joy of living here.
Wildlife has been part of everyday life. Deer move through the fields at sunrise, owls call at night, and the woods are always alive with birds and small animals. Even while working from home, we were never far from nature. Morning coffee on the porch, stepping outside during breaks, and watching the seasons change became part of our daily rhythm.
Above all, we love the peace. Inside the home, you don’t hear the road at all. Outside, it’s mostly wind and woods. Yet the property is still close to Columbus, Auburn, Eufaula, and Fort Benning, making everyday life convenient without losing the feeling of being in your own private world. It’s been a rare place where a family can grow, work, explore, and live freely, and that’s what has made this home so special to us.
