The closest flood zone is about 7,000 feet away.

Note that while the realtors photos don’t show it the Google street view shows a gravel drive beside the concrete drive for parking a semi.

While the properties immediately surrounding the house are comparable there is what appears to be a junky mobile home on Macedonia Road about 500' from the subject property “A”. At “B” there is a smaller house with seven cars parked at the house.

Google Sat. Image of surrounding homes

Given the distance from the subject house and that most surrounding properties are comparable, I think the immediate neighborhood should be acceptable.




The house is about 2,000' ft from Highway 53 and there will be some traffic noise in the distance.

While the house is very attractive, it may not meet your needs. There is not a garage or a lot of storage.

The house is built on the uphill corner of the lot close to the road. Except for the far side of the house from the street or downhill from the house, there is not room for an addition or garage. I researched the surrounding lots ownership. They are owned by a development company.



























I may be wrong but the unpaved road above the house may be acess to undeveloped lots.

Huntsville MLS

109 WESLEY CLARK BLVD has been on market since 10/19/11. The link below is to where the current owner bought he house 07/03/2003 for $320,000 / $76 per square foot.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114904542


The flood maps show the house is over 2,000′ from the nearest flood zone.

The link below is to the Google satellite image of the house. It’s the fourth one down from Hardeman Road on Wesley Clark on the right side of the street.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hardeman+Road,+Madison,+AL+35756&hl=en&ll=34.698446,-86.790072&spn=0.00198,0.006212&hnear=Hardeman+Rd,+Madison,+Limestone,+Alabama+35756&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6


Pan to the right of the house an you can see the adjoining property faces County Line Road.

The link below is to the interactive street view.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hardeman+Road,+Madison,+AL+35756&hl=en&ll=34.69812,-86.790758&spn=0.000018,0.012424&hnear=Hardeman+Rd,+Madison,+Limestone,+Alabama+35756&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=34.698001,-86.790758&panoid=Fjct2OKaEfOehkcweeDvfA&cbp=12,62.47,,0,0

Since the house is in Limestone County ( but in the Madison City limits.) I had to go to the Limestone County tax records. There is not a map search feature to find ownership of a given plot but the map below shows one section of land adjacent to County Line Road.

My concern is that this land will eventually be developed for commercial use and you might loose the privacy.





The link below is to a summary of Huntsville MLS activity in the neighborhood since 10/01/10. The average sold price of the two sales was $94 per square foot with a narrow range of $94.75 to $94.04 per square foot. The average days on market was surprisingly low at 34 days with each property selling in 34 days.

At a list price of $91 per square foot the house is priced within the market range.

Huntsville mls search w limited public acess

We can set up more detailed searches that the Huntsville MLS search allows the public and can set up automated searches. If you let us know what you are looking for in terms of price, size and location we can set up the searches for you.
If you are unsure of what areas to consider, a starting point might be your work location and how long a commute you are willing to make.

Huntsville Alabama Downtown
Another factor may be schools. Even if schools are not a concern for you, the quality of the schools that serve a property may be important upon an eventual resale of the property. Two excellent resources for researching schools are http://www.schooldigger.com/go/AL/search.aspx and http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/go/AL.
We can filter listings on age, brick verses frame, ranch verses two-story and a number of other factors.

While 6644 WILLOW POINTE DRIVE , #H looks really nice. It’s listed for $74,900 / $71 per square foot.

It was listed for a short time in 2010 at $74,000 without selling. It has been listed this year since 06/29/11.

The link below is to a summary of all Huntsville MLS activity of 2 bedroom units in the neighborhood since 10/01/10. The average sold price was $64,500 with a highest sale at $84,000.

1155 OLD MONROVIA ROAD , #1C is within a half mile of Willow Point.

PLANTATION SOUTH in south Huntsville id very nice but please note the high homeowner’s association dues (156/MO Includes-Pool, ExtBldgM, CommonGr, ExtIns, TrashRem, PestCont, ExtWater, InsWater, Sewer

144 CASTLE RIDGE DRIVE is a house in New Market. I know you prefer a condo but single family homes are a lot easier to sell. Also it will be safer. While Willow point and Old Monrovia Road are not crime ridden. They are in the news on occasion for both property and violent crimes. The schools that serve the condos are not very good either, hurting the ability to eventually re-sell.

The seller painted in some pretty bold colors that will make the house harder to sell but for a few hundred dollars we can repaint.

Valley MLS Rural homes for sale in north Alabma
October 17th, 2011 12:30 PM



While the type of home you are looking for is a little rare, buyers for these types of homes are even more rare. Most homebuyers are looking for a home in a subdivision as close to work as possible with good schools for their kids. Most buyers want to stay in the city.We can also make offers contingent on your viewing and approving the property.


> 1. 2737 County Road 8 (834512) – This is hands down our favorite by far.

My main concern on this home it the unknown regarding the surrounding area. As mentioned earlier the listing agent didn’t map the house’s location and Google maps doesn’t find the exact location. Google hasn’t driven to the property location so there is no Google street view to help search. I tried searching the Jackson County tax records, found the record of the property but when I tried to link from the record to the tax map showing the property boundaries received an error message. I carefully studied the maps but still couldn’t find the exact house.

I did email the listing agent and asked her to place the house icon on the MLS map directly on the house. I also asked the additional information you requested.

In the meanwhile Google gives an approximate drive time of 55 min from the general location of the house to Redstone Arsenal.

http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=2737+COUNTY+ROAD+8,+WOODVILLE,+AL+35776&daddr=I-565+W&hl=en&ll=34.681782,-86.421204&spn=0.253525,0.662613&sll=34.69521,-86.42163&sspn=0.253483,0.662613&geocode=FZAkEgId3c3c-il9G4-bafRhiDH_yqf1pBNysA%3BFRqvEQId8MvV-g&vpsrc=6&mra=dme&mrsp=1&sz=11&t=h&z=11


The link below is to the valley mls listing where the current owner bought the house on 9.15.09 for $220,000.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114889482

The house has been on market since 01/16/11 and was listed for rent for awhile.

> 2. 367 Berry Road (945564)

> 5. 117 John Walker Drive (956808)

Has been on market a LONG time. The owner put in on the market 08/31/09 and list the house in foreclosure. It was listed as bank owned on 10/02/11 went under contract on 10/07/11 but then came back on the market a week later on 10/14/11. I never showed the house but had clients drive by in 2010 as a candidate for them. Based on the location they opted to pass.

At the satellite image below the house is the one with the fence. The four buildings behind it are very low income apartments. We managed one of the apartments several years ago but stopped because the owner wouldn’t maintain them and we had problems finding stable tenants. I strongly encourage you to pass on this property.

As soon as I get additional information from the listing agents on the other properties I will let you know. In the meanwhile can I preview of provide any additional information on any home for you.
