The Ledges

The view from The Ledges stretches from the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in the far western section of Huntsville, Alabama to the countryside surrounding the Hampton Cove area to the east. The rock formations and rolling plateau atop the mountain provide eye-catching features for both the residential neighborhood and the nationally recognized golf course. The developers of The Ledges originally set out to develop a golf course, but realized that they had a unique opportunity to create something special by adding a uniquely designed neighborhood that would offer upscale living. The goal all along has been to preserve the mountain's natural beauty while creating a traditional, upscale neighborhood with a world-class golf course, clubhouse and other amenities. Of the 750 acres set for development, 450 acres were set aside as a natural green belt that rings the mountain to ensure its undisturbed natural beauty, protecting it from future development. Two hundred fifty acres of the land are now a nationally recognized golf course, while 150 acres are being used in the mountain's residential development. In harmony with golf, The Ledges land planners took the architectural styles of downtown historical Huntsville and married them to the mountain. The Ledges now has the largest contingency of authentic new-southern, historically correct homes in the region and possibly the entire south. This small-town sense of life, blossoming through an ongoing series of community dinners at the gazebo or at various homes, has been further enhanced with the completion of the Ledges English Tudor-style clubhouse, which offers a variety of club activities and events for our residential as well as non-residential members.
