In the "Heart of Dixie" at the foothills of the Appalachians, you will find a hidden gem in North Shelby County. Within The Highlands 700+ acres you will discover double ridge tops revealing expansive views, as well as the dense forest encompassing them. Amenities include two gated entrances, miles of walking trails, two stocked lakes, two pavilions, a community pool and playground. A 200+ acre conservation easement has also been established for residents to enjoy the land's beauty for years to come. A new phase opened in August of 2022 with homesites boasting 360° mountain views and others tucked into an untouched valley between the highlands. We are a custom build community and our onsite realty team, Brogdon Properties, is available if you prefer to assist you in the process of choosing the perfect homesite, house plan and builder. The peace and quiet of mountain living is just 30 minutes from the magic of Birmingham and ready for you to call home. For custom home builds, a good estimate is $250 per sq/ft including land. You can purchase the land separate from your home build or include it with your build price. Estimated prices on homes listed do not include the land amount since lot price differs. We have chosen plans from a highly reviewed local architectural firm, but any home plans are welcome that meet our ARB requirements found on website. We are always happy to answer any questions related to building a custom home. Don't hesitate to email or call!
