Activities/ Amenities at the Bluffs
Those who have purchased home sites at The Bluffs most often site a "return to nature" theme about their futures. They suggest that they expect to begin to spend more time outdoors, and that they were looking for a first or second-home setting that would accommodate that expectation.
We have listened to those owners as The Bluffs has been developed, and have taken a more natural (rather than "manufactured") approach to amenities. For instance, in order to keep Homeowners’ Association dues to a minimum, we develop amenities as the users in our community grow---rather than developing those amenities merely to sell lots. For the same reasons, we are initially focusing on developing amenities which do not require daily management ($$$$).
Our natural surroundings---a 30,000 acre, 52 mile-long lake supporting all fresh water sports; 3 major river tributaries; the Piedmont Mountain Range; Little River Canyon (deepest canyon east of the Mississippi) offering both scenery and excitement; the Cherokee Indian heritage; an interesting Civil War history with many landmarks and relics; etc. all contribute to a rich array of activities just outside our gates. In addition, the proximity of dozens of golf courses in our region; a world-class sporting lodge (see www.ChattokeeLodge.com) located three miles from The Bluffs; and the amenities of several nearby state parks can all serve to help fill up our owner’s activity cards.
There are plenty of activities suited to a variety of interests and physical abilities at The Bluffs. For instance, there are:
Trails
Almost a dozen miles of developed walking/biking/horseback riding, 4-wheeler trails to explore;
Community Gardens
Community gardens and an orchard providing home grown vegetables, fruits and berries, as well as an opportunity for The Bluffs neighborhood gatherings;
Lake Access
Private (gated) access to Weiss Lake, with picnic grounds, docks, etc.
