Opelika, Ala.-based United Country Real Estate | Great Southern Homes of Alabama (and Twelve Stones Land & Timber Co. on the commercial property side) specialize in country homes, hunting properties, farms, timber tracts, commercial properties and all types of land for sale throughout East Central Alabama.
Our office primarily serves all of Lee County, along with some neighboring counties in the region. From Opelika to Waverly or Auburn, down to Salem or Beauregard, over in Smiths Station, Phenix City or anywhere else you’ll find available real estate in this part of Alabama … we’re ready and available to meet your property needs.
If you don’t live in Alabama, Opelika might not be a familiar name to you (though it is Lee County’s seat). Auburn, however, is typically a lot more well known to people outside the state. The two cities are adjacent and part of the same metro area, so they share quite a few community and cultural ties. Opelika is smaller, with under 34,000 residents as of 2024, while Auburn comes in higher at just over 82,000.
The area is defined by many things, but residents clearly honor their rich history and embrace the classic “southern charm” of the region at local shops and restaurants. Regular events and annual festivals are always a hit, and we also love our adventures outdoors fishing, hunting, hiking and camping. There are some standout lake and river spots for recreation, such as Lake Martin (from the Tallapoosa River) and Lake Harding (on the Chattahoochee River). And we must mention Chewacla State Park and its 696 acres of Central Alabama beauty.
Among the population, there’s a nice mix of retirees, military families and college students (many attend Auburn University, or South Union College up in Randolph County). The University provides a big economic boost to the Auburn area, and technology and manufacturing businesses play a sizeable role also, along with tourism. From a vibrant arts and culture scene, to museums, tasty local cuisine and so much more … Opelika and the Auburn, Ala., area offer something for everyone.
