The Bluffs - Weiss Lake Property Gated Community

The Bluffs 

The Bluffs is a 1200 acre gated residential development located in Cedar Bluff, Alabama, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range. Our development is actually on a mountain peninsula which extends into the 30,000 acre, 52 mile-long Weiss Lake. This unusual location allows us to develop each of our home sites such that all have a water view, with most also having a view of the surrounding mountains.

The Bluffs has been labeled a Sustainable Living development due to its emphasis on community gardens, orchards, and other sources of locally grown food. The orchards and gardens for The Bluffs originated many years ago, when the then-owners used the rich flat-land soil and adjacent spring fed creek to nurture the gardens and orchard which surrounded their house. The surviving pecan, pear and apple trees from that orchard have been rehabilitated and supplemented with 28 compatible varieties of apple, peach, plum, pear, and fig trees. Additionally, blueberry bushes and grape and muscadine vines have been planted.

The garden spot has been restored and an irrigation system put in place utilizing the clean clear waters of the nearby creek.

Unique Weiss Lake Property

The Bluffs sits on a mountain ridge overlooking Weiss Lake. Weiss Lake is an Alabama Power-controlled power-production lake and is supplied by three major rivers, plus numerous creeks and other spring-fed streams. It is among the largest lakes in the southeast and is nationally recognized for its excellent crappie and bass fishing. However, given its size (30,000+ acres/52 miles long/450 miles of shoreline) and the fact thatWeiss Lake is relatively un-crowded, visitors come to participate in all major fresh water recreational activities, including sailing.

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. This is one of two Weiss Lake access areas that will ultimately be developed within The Bluffs development as more phases are released. 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 Weiss Lake 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.
