“My favorite thing about living here is, I like the tranquility, the

quiet,” Jackson says. “It’s just an enjoyable place to live. If you
want some good time with yourself and with your family, you

can’t beat it. It’s totally different from living in a subdivision."

All are requirements for taking care of these 66 acres, which,
while is hard work, is also therapeutic. Corn was grown here for

50 years by the founding Huff family. Cattle was later raised on
it. Jackson planted beautiful coastal Bermuda grass on it.

Jackson says that 35 to 40 acres of the land is pastureland.
The rest is timber woods, from which deer and turkey often
reveal themselves. A twenty-foot-wide creek runs through the
property, and Jackson says bass and bream are known to
bite a hook.

Jackson says his favorite thing to do at 554 Huff Lane is to
simply roam around outside. He can spend the whole day
outside and enjoy it. He admits he is disappointed in himself for
never acquiring horses or cattle, but he surmises that the next
homeowners could do so. Cattle, after all, are raised by other
property owners in the area, a place where the air is smog-free,
and handshakes are strong and important.

“If you want to be able to live somewhere and breathe good,

clean, fresh air, you can’t beat it,” Jackson says. “You’re more
back to nature. Throw your telephone down and go walk around
in those trees back there on 25 acres of land.”

Jackson’s words are compelling. Clean, fresh air. Back to
nature. Leaving the iPhone on the couch because it truly is not
always necessary. If a property can inspire just by its beauty,
this is it. It’s out in the country, but it is still convenient.
Downtown Springville is 8.5 miles away. Downtown Ashville is
only 4.5 miles down U.S. 231. Oneonta is reachable in 17
minutes and downtown Birmingham can be driven to in a half
hour.

“I have enjoyed living here,” Jackson says. “It’ll probably take

me six months to get over it when I sell it and do move away
from here.”
