Oakbowery Pines 3-4 acre lots for sale in Opelika ALJust wanted to post a quick blog about this subdivision as I have had a lot of people contacting me about it. My understanding after talking to the owner of the property is there is only 1 lot left and it is lot 5. He said he is willing to sell it for $265k. If you are interested in purchasing it I can find out more information from the owner of it. I have had a lot of inquiries about it and thought it would be helpful to post the information since so many people had expressed an interest in it. I am not the listing agent, but simply trying to get information out about this property.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in A...
