Posted in Real Estate Website Reviews By Earnest Young, Tuesday, March 18, 2008.The Ledges of Huntsville Alabama - The Best Real Estate in Town
The Ledges is a private community in the Huntsville Mountain with many
fascinating homes and just a short drive away from shopping, schools and other
amenities that Huntsville has to offer. The ledges has it own private golf
course, sports clubs and a 36,300-sq.-ft club house with membership above 500.
John Blue, President of the ledges Association, describes the ledges as "the
architectural style of the historic district of downtown
Huntsville with the softness of Mooresville." In planning to build the homes
in this community developers aspired to create one that emulated the gracious
architecture of Old Huntsville.
It will reflect the atmosphere of yesteryear with every home having a front
porch and with garages and mailboxes in back out of view. there will also be a
world class golf facility, jogging paths, junior Olympic swimming pool and
splash pool, golf learning center and pro shop, tennis courts, fitness center
and nature and hiking trails." According to Walter Alen, one of the ledges
designer, "We tried to maintain the feeling of a great country house, and so the
rooms have that large residence scale," described Walter Allen. "the building is
sited in a very special way, so that the sunset is on the dining rooms and
ballroom with perfect views on a clear day."
Home designs must pass the Architectural Review Committee standards before
homes can be built. the initial plans were for 250 units on Huntsville Mountain,
with styles including Town homes, Cottages, Villas, and Estates. Buying or
building a home in the ledges comes with a sense of security as a guard is
always on station to ensure home owners privacy and security.
the Homes in the vicinity were all built in brilliant designs of 18th and
19th century American home architecture from the "Jeffersonian homes in the
style of Monticello, to New Orleans-style town homes, to upscale versions of
traditional American farmhouses."
The ledges was built on a 3,000 acres of pastureland which was once a
family-owned cattle ranch. Interestingly, The ledges has more engineers per
capita than any other golf club in the nation, primarily due to its proximity to
the NASA Space Center.
One of the perks of being a home owner in The ledges is the breath taking
view of the city of Huntsville that it affords. It's unordinary aesthetics and
wonderful designs make
The Ledges of Huntsville great place to own a home.
