PROPERTY: Welcome to the Eastern Shores at Catoma, featuring this newly platted 0.66 acre waterfront lot that delivers the look and feel of a high-end, lakeside HOA community, only without the actual HOA – the best of both worlds! The flat and cleared terrain will jumpstart your building project, and you have no floodplain encroachments that will interfere either. So get started building your new home immediately! Lake Catoma spans 536 acres and is open to boating and fishing – offering up a wealth of largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie – and anchors a vast network of hiking trails within this Alabama Mountain tourism region. The waterfront boundary for this lot meanders for 227 feet and the zone between the boundary and lake is a city-owned buffer zone, free to walk for access to the lake. Your driveway will connect to Eastern Shores Drive, a newly built street that is lined with power, water, and sewer lines. The CC+R’s for this subdivision are light and allow for a wide variety of home designs, and the survey plat is readily available so you can get started planning your next dream home today. Once you’re established, you’ll love sending your kids to one of the best public school districts in the state. In fact, GreatSchools.org gave the elementary and middle school here a 10 out of 10 rating! Downtown Cullman is just 6 minutes away, and it offers a Walmart, Lowe’s, several grocery stores, local restaurants, fast food chains and medical centers, but if you’re looking for the full range of big-box retailers, you can find them in Huntsville, just 52 minutes to the north, or the capital city of Birmingham, the same distance to the south. Be among the first to settle this beautiful, serene lakeside neighborhood, and get in at an unbeatable Acretown price!

FINANCING

OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.

OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.

MAKING AN OFFER

Call or text Scott directly at 314.639.9777 or email at info@acretown.com if you’d like to discuss an offer.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.

HOW DO WE PRICE SO LOW?

WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).


DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
