The Maxwell Plantation is a 2,463-acre cattle ranch and estate with four miles of frontage on the Black Warrior River south of Tuscaloosa.

The plantation was established in 1852 by James Robert Maxwell.

The plantation home, called Honeysuckle Hill, has six bedrooms and six baths.

The property also includes a 3000-foot landing strip and hangar, two stocked lakes, an irrigated 235-acre pasture, a farm manager's house, a horse barn, and several storage buildings.

The Maxwell Plantation was sold at auction in July 2010.
