Search by lifestyle › Wooded and private lots

Trees behind the house, shade in summer and nobody looking into your backyard. This page finds every home for sale around Huntsville whose listing mentions a wooded lot, mature trees, or a secluded or private setting.

Counting... in Madison, Limestone and Morgan counties

Wooded lots show up everywhere from older South Huntsville neighborhoods to the mountains and the county. Newer subdivisions often clear the lots, so mature trees are one of the things you give up with new construction.

Trees are also a maintenance item. Plan for leaves, gutters and the occasional tree that needs to come down.

Homes for sale that mention a wooded lot, mature trees or a private setting

Found by reading the description of every active listing each time you open this page, so new listings show up the day they hit Valley MLS. The words are the listing agent's, not ours: confirm every detail with the listing agent before you rely on it.

Before you buy

• Look up at the trees. Large trees close to the house can drop limbs in storms. An arborist can tell you which ones need attention.
• Check the roof and gutters. Shade and leaves are hard on both. Ask your inspector to look closely.
• Ask who owns the woods. The trees behind you may be on a neighbor's lot or common ground that could be developed later.
• Think about insurance. Ask your insurance agent whether trees near the house affect your policy.
