Madison County is deeply forested. The steep terrain that makes much of the county unbuildable also means the forests have been left largely intact — oak, poplar, hickory, and laurel cover the ridges from the French Broad corridor up to the Tennessee border. For hunters, timber investors, and privacy seekers, Madison's combination of heavy forest cover and low land prices creates genuine opportunity.
