Held in the same family for over 100 years, this historic tract features untouched old-growth hardwood timber that has not been logged in more than a century. The gently rolling terrain supports abundant wildlife including whitetail deer and wild turkey, making it ideal for hunting land, a private estate, or a recreational retreat. A newly constructed interior roadbed provides easy access throughout the property, with paved frontage already in place. A cleared ridgetop homesite captures panoramic sunrise and moonrise views overlooking Lookout Mountain. A wet-weather spring offers excellent potential for a future pond, enhancing both beauty and long-term value. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is just 8 minutes to downtown Fort Payne, under 30 minutes to Mentone, and less than two hours to Huntsville or Birmingham. Chattanooga and Gadsden are both within an hour. If you're searching for land for sale in Fort Payne AL, DeKalb County hunting land, or North Alabama acreage with mountain views and paved access, this legacy property is a rare opportunity to own something truly special. ## Location - **Address:** Smith Gap Road, Fort Payne, AL 35968 - **County:** De Kalb - **Coordinates:** 34.515722, -85.702745 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=34.515722,-85.702745 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Ben Shurett - **Brokerage:** National Land Realty, Gulf Coast - **Broker Phone:** 855-NLR-LAND - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/Smith-Gap-Rd_Fort-Payne_AL_35968_M99243-93019?f=listhub&s=NYSMLS&m=11544739&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f416249481r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f4051789464r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1715511097r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1159240919r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1245584640r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1564150857r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f2337972344r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f3820851166r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f968442346r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f691018253r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f4118661123r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f498100997r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f3708073207r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f3934995667r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f883200155r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f2279266811r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f4183245669r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f39837213r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1063908402r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1127662012r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f696127952r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f285200997r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f4051789464r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f3046043466r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f2823250391r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f3345117776r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f3513632007r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f2891881933r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f1152392663r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f2902494595r.jpg) ![Smith Gap Road - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/f62367019c4d53a6a80da2c1c2bd648cl-f969641907r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 11544739 | **Updated:** 2026-10-19 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 My State MLS.
