The development is located in Cedar Bluff, Alabama, 25 minutes from Rome, Georgia and near the rugged gorges of the Little River Canyon. The BluffsThe Bluffs is a 330 acre gated residential development with additional related acreage for amenities and future expansion. The Bluffs is 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.
Unique Weiss Lake PropertyThe 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.
