The George and Carlotta Beck Living Estate/Moving Sale

Directions:  Coming from Montgomery, take 231 to Wetumpka.  Stay on Highway 9, going to Santuck.  Once you reach Santuck, turn right onto Pierce Chapel Road (Which is Hwy 66) and go one mile.  The property is surrounded by a low, brown wooden fence.  House is on the right.  CAUTION:  The property has twenty four hour surveillance cameras monitoring the property.  DO NOT ENTER the property until the morning of the sale!    ALSO:  The physical address is Santuck but the mailing address is Wetumpka - your GPS will show Wetumpka.  Just follow my directions on the site and you will be fine. Travel distance from Montgomery to the sale house is a little over 20 miles - depending on where you live in Montgomery.
