Newbern, AL 36765 - Hale County

House on 2.5 +/- acres in Newbern, AL

Newbern is a quaint small community off of Hwy. 61 in Hale County, AL. The world renowned Auburn Rural Studio's campus is downtown and next door neighbors to this property. The yard is full of mature pecan trees, large oak trees, magnolia trees and other ornamental shrubs. This property sits on two lots that could remain one large yard or divided and sold as separate lots if the buyer desires to do so. Built in 1879 the house is a three bedroom and two bath that needs work but has great potential and a wonderful history in the community. The old railroad depot sits just north of the property and the story is that the engineers would come over to the house between runs for hot meals and a place to sleep. It would make a great rental property for the local Auburn students, hunting camp for out of town hunters or home for someone looking for a peaceful friendly community to live.
