The Bluffs of Weiss
A Weiss Lake Property Communtity

The Bluffs is located in the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau section of the Appalachian Mountains in Northwest Alabama's historic Cherokee County. The development is located in Cedar Bluff, Alabama, 25 minutes from Rome, Georgia and near the rugged gorges of the Little River Canyon.

The Bluffs is almost a 1,100 acre development, with the first phase consisting of 60 lots spread over more than 150 acres. Our architect and land planners have designed this phase to capitalize on the beauty and serenity of the mountain and lake vistas, with every parcel having at least one premium home site with both a lake view and a mountain view . There are no so-called "interior" lots.

Be sure to check out the mountain property in Phase 2.  Phase 2 encompasses one of the highest ridges in the development and the lake and mountain views from these new lots are stunning.  We have also built a private lake for fishing, picnics, etc.  Some lots border this new private lake, while also having beautiful views of Weiss Lake.

There are miles of walking/mountain biking/horseback riding trails throughout the properties, which wander along the streams and rise to the mountaintops overlooking Weiss Lake and the Chattooga, Coosa and Little River. A private (fenced/gated) lakeside park is under development just adjacent io the entrance to The Bluffs. The park will provide pavilions, public tables and private lake access for the residents of The Bluffs. A marina with motel, boat rentals and protected boat storage is located a mile away from The Bluffs. There are grocery stores and restaurants in Cedar Bluff, as well as super-store shopping a few miles away in Centre, the Cherokee County Seat.

The (south) Park is built on a fantastic two-acre lakefront lot.  This recreation area includes docks, lakeside deck, pavilion, picnic facilities and more.  Just take a look at some of the views from the private community lake front area.

The Bluffs properties are located on the southernmost part of the Dirtseller Mountain Range. The name, Dirtseller Mountain, is a translation of the Cherokee name for the mountain, Karte Kunteesky . The lake and rivers almost completely surround the mountain property  which has perfectly tiered ridge lines, creating the unique setting with every lot being a view lot.

Cherokee County is rich in Indian and Civil War history. Much of that history is documented in the Cherokee County Historical Museum. The county has over 25,000 full-time residents and a large second-home population with absentee owners from all 50 states and 6 foreign countries. It is among top 10 fastest growing counties in Alabama.

Weiss Lake , owned by Alabama Power Company, is a 30,200+ acre hydro-electric impoundment of the Coosa, Chattooga, and Little Rivers. It offers 447 miles of shoreline with shallow flats; under-water drop-offs; deep channels; and large coves. Privately owned motels, marinas, campgrounds, boat and motor rentals, guide service, and fishing supply shops are available to support the "crappie fishing capital of the world."

Little River Canyon National Preserve** is located only a few miles from The Bluffs and stretches over 18 miles, with plunges of more than 700 feet. Believed to be the deepest gorge east of the Rocky Mountains, this natural wonder varies from one-half to a mile-and-a-half wide, offering caves, waterfalls and magnificent vistas. The river flowing through the canyon is the only one in the nation to form on top of a mountain, before thundering with world-class rapids down to DeSoto Falls.

Cherokee Rock Village , located atop Lookout Mountain Ridge, offers views of Weiss Lake and distant cities. The 200 acre park contains boulders as tall as several hundred feet and dating back 300 million years.

Cherokee Country Club is located ten miles from The Bluffs. Offering an 18 hole golf course, club house and other amenities, the Cherokee Country Club is a convenient and economical recreation alternative for fulltime residents, as well as vacation home owners.

Coosa Country Club in Rome is only 25 miles away and is one of the South's "grand old country clubs" dating back to 1910 hosting some of the greats, like Bobby Jones. The club offers attactive membership rates for out of town owners.

Gadsden State Community College is building a new $20+ million extended campus in Centre Alabama, just five miles from Cedar Bluff. One specialty of the new campus will be the training of medical professionals, expecially nurses.

Cherokee Medical Hospital-Cherokee is a 60-bed affiliate of Baptist Health Systems (the largest health system in Alabama) providing primary care, emergency services, and a broad range of specialized medicine.
