Our families own this property that we purchased during 2020 as we wanted to have a place close to home to get away during the pandemic. We realized others would also possibly enjoy retreating to nature close to home and decided to list this property. We see this as an opportunity to host retreats and accommodate families who come to town for graduation and football games at UA. This is a special place that helps you be near town and get away in the tranquil woods.

Why they chose this property
This property was formerly Ingram Farms and was set up to have recreation and farming with a nice log cabin installed in 2005. It is a pristine setting that you immediately feel restored and renewed when you hear the birds, feel the breeze, and see the sunlight shining through the trees and glistening over the water. It is only 1.7 miles off Highway 82 and a straight shot to campus only 18 miles away.
What makes this property unique
Plenty of room for parking, setting up additional tents, having your pets, extra friends and family join you while you are vacationing here. You are able to have your child's graduation party, photos, and meals without having to reserve additional venues in town.
