Pine Top is a unique 553 +/- acres located just outside the city limits of a picturesque southern town, Greenville, Alabama. Located just two miles from Greenville and Interstate 65, but just far enough to have the privacy and recreational opportunities everyone dreams of. 8 acres of beautifully manicured landscape surrounds the custom 5200 sf modern home which borders Cahaba Road for one half mile. The home was built in 1990 and renovated in 2002 with cypress floors, 9' ceilings throughout, exposed wood beams, and more. A new roof was completed in 2013, new air conditioning in 2018 and a new water heater. There is little to no deferred maintenance and everything has been very well kept. Just being present at Pine Top, one can sense that they are somewhere very special.
The property consists of merchantable and pre-merchantable natural and plantation pine forest that rolls across the topography. Hardwood drains run through the low areas along Peavy Creek that borders the property for over 1 mile and is sure to hold wild turkeys in the spring. There are multiple green fields in place with a great road system to navigate nearly the entire property. Deer, turkey, and hogs are abundant and is a fantastic property for anyone who enjoys hunting and the outdoors. There is also good income potential on this property from the timber and hunting lease opportunities.
There are few properties left that offer the convenience, charm, affordability, and fun that Pine Top does. To release Pine Top to the market for the first time since the 1950’s is bringing to light two hidden gems that are often overlooked. The first is a quaint southern town that takes the lead of two national surveys as the “best small town” in America. It’s no coincidence to find Greenville at the top of the list, with its historic buildings, well-attended churches, locally owned businesses, convenient location and glaring pride of ownership from its people. The second gem is a property on the outskirts of Greenville that brings together lifestyles that is not often possible to do. It’s a place to raise a family the All-American way with a house and land but be within 5 minutes of schools, grocery stores, and restaurants. It’s a place to move away from the crime and crowds of big cities and make the short commute to work. It’s a place to retire and rest, but be within 2 hours of Alabama’s most popular destinations to the north or south. And golfers should note the 36 hole Robert Trent Jones ‘Cambrian Ridge’ Golf Course is less than two miles away.
(offered Divided in Options/Configurations - $3,000 per acre for the land component with the purchase of 25 acres or more or $4,000 per acre for the land component with the purchase of less than 25 acres).

From murky farm ponds to pristine glacier-cut lakes and everything in between, Knox Daniels’ expertise stems from a lifelong fascination of water and the creatures that live in and around it. He recognizes and helps clients appreciate the value water features bring to a property. “My goal is to help buyers realize and sellers maximize the value different water bodies bring to a property, not only in a recreational sense, but also for social storm reasons.” After extensively traveling the country for collegiate BASS fishing tournaments, Knox graduated and worked for the Southeast’s finest fisheries and wildlife biologist, Greg Grimes. With Grimes’ company, AES, Knox managed many of the southeast’s finest private lake estate/impoundment properties, and learned the intricacies of upscale property management. Learning from Greg and other biologists, Knox honed in on the specific conditions and habitat needed for optimal gamefish growth in private lakes. He has also worked as a property manager on several thousand acres and for a commercial developer, facilitating the dirt work and builds of several apartment complexes, but his true passion has always been in the outdoors. “I’ve always had an insatiable fascination with ponds/lakes and am grateful to be able to help to place clients on the properties of their dreams and make their personal fisheries/wildlife goals reality with JKA.” – Knox Daniels
As a landowner of his own family farm, Lick Skillet, along with family land that has been passed down and enjoyed together at Keaton Beach for 40 years, Jon knows what it means to be a steward of the last best places. As a third-generation land broker with more than 30 years of experience in advising landowners in this niche, Jon is known for his innate ability to harvest a land’s unique intrinsic value. Touting several notable sales under his belt, Jon personally closed Rock Creek/Molpus – 124,000 acres of premium timberland at $142,000,000 – which was known as the largest timberland land sale in the Southeast for eight years running. He is a co-founding member of LandLeader and achieved the real estate industry’s highest honor, “2022 National Broker of the Year – Recreational Land Sales,” by the Realtors® Land Institute.

With Madison County roots, Lori grew up on her family farm at Pettis Springs along the historic Aucilla River. A love of the land was instilled in Lori very early on by her father who was a local farmer. Lori understands the importance of good land stewardship and has witnessed first-hand how her own father, a former 2-term member of the Florida House of Representatives whose district encompassed many rural counties of the Red Hills Plantation Region, with a little bit of sweat equity, so lovingly worked their own family land. These are core values she carries with her today, and nothing gives her more personal satisfaction than to represent some of the south’s best land stewards.
Hailing from a long line of outdoorsmen, Tim learned a great deal from his father and grandfather. He saw first-hand what it means to be a good land steward. He believes land is so much more than a place to hunt, fish, and grow timber or crops. “It’s an identity, a resting place, a safe haven and a way of life, said Tim.” Tim’s family ties to Alabama run deep. During his grandfather’s first term, Governor James was responsible for signing into law Alabama’s first state duck stamp which helped to ensure funding for the procurement, development, and preservation of wetlands for migratory waterfowl habitat. He also established Alabama’s lifetime hunting license, so it is no surprise that Tim is an avid outdoorsman with a keen eye as to how best to improve habitat for the greater good of its wildlife.
Jason has been assisting landowners for the last 28 years in Georgia and South Carolina obtain achievements the owners did not realize were possible. His degree in Biology from Georgia Southern stemmed from the desire to know how things in nature work. His plantation roots began at just 16 years old outside of Albany, GA and the last 20 years were spent in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. His entire career has been spent developing a global approach to plantation management. That plan included sales. Sales is in Jason’s blood- his mom had a 45-year career as a real estate broker. After college, he chose to pursue his passion of making properties great. In 2011, Jason sold his first plantation. Since then, he has assisted buyers and sellers with over $20 million in sales while most of that time working as a full-time General Manager of a large Lowcountry plantation. Today, he is committed to using his unique skill set and experience to guide landowners through the many challenges of plantation ownership.
