The area has a suburban

character with familiar elements of a new community developed w i t h i n a c i t y.

The site is close in proximity to Birmingham,

Tr u s s v i l l e , A n n i s t o n a n d L i n c o l n .

Access to nearby shopping,

schools, hospitals, restaurants and downtown Gadsden is a short commute.

The property borders Riverbank Subdivision on the northwest boundary and extends to Rivermont Subdivision on the southeast b o u n d a r y.

The eastern border stretches approximately 1070’

along the Coosa River and its sloughs. The western borders are contiguous with open fields and woodlands. The land is a mix of primarily open green spaces combined with mature trees.

The

site gradually descends from the northwest corner to the south east. The eastern boundary has an obvious slope from the 519.0 e l e v a t i o n t o t h e w a t e r.

The land use plan is enhanced by the natural attributes of the p r o p e r t y. T h e c o m m u n i t y d e s i g n i s i n t e n d e d t o c r e a t e a n a t u r a l lifestyle utilizing the inherent uniqueness of the surroundings. The objective is to create the feeling of a planned community with a timeless quality making it a desirable place to live.

We have learned by study and practice that the finest places to live are created by orchestrating many seemingly unrelated elements of the environment around us into a unified vision. Creating and orchestrating this vision is what we do. We design homes that address individual homeowner needs. They complement the style and preferences set forth by the families that will occupy them. We design communities that are in harmony with the landscape and set a design standard that is desired by the market of potential homebuyers. The style of homes and layout of the community are planned to the most intricate detail. We design gathering places that bring neighbors and communities together, encouraging the kind of good fellowship that has been lost from recent years in our society of fast paced living. This is what we do; we design homes, communities, public gathering places, places to be inspired by, places to call "Home". Stephen Fuller Stephen Fuller, Incorporated
