Saunders Bridge is located in the southernmost range of the Appalachian Mountains, just Southeast of Birmingham. This gorgeous, gated, exclusively private 600-acre lakeside community is surrounded by what is known by locals as Copper Mountain and is the former home of Twin Pines Resort & Conference Center. Lake Lauralee, surrounded by mountains of large pine and healthy hardwoods, is a beautiful 90 +/- acre lake that offers excellent fishing, swimming, boating, skiing or tubing. The lake, managed by Southeastern Pond Management is stocked with largemouth bass & bluegill. There is also a separate 3-Acre stocked fishing pond on the property. The large community swimming pool offers swimming, sunbathing, a cooking area with grill & refrigerator, outside shower, bathrooms & a gazebo with furniture. The community tennis & basketball court provide a great place for recreation. A beautiful, traditional red gambrel-style barn next to a large field graces the property and can be used for community gatherings and activities such as picnics, sports or private parties. The land surrounding the lake has been put in conservation easements, so no hunting has created a wildlife sanctuary and provides the opportunity to see numerous species of wildlife. Bald eagles have often been seen. Winding trails that run throughout Saunders Bridge are great for hiking, jogging, biking or walking dogs and allow homeowners and guests enjoyment of the beauty and solitude of this natural setting. These nature trails connect gathering spaces and homes and run throughout an iconic historical covered bridge that is a centerpiece of the community. The bridge frames the tranquility of the valley landscape and connects the past with the future. A firepit (furnished with firewood) sits on a peninsula next to the covered bridge and is a great place to unwind with friends & family on a cool, crisp evening. You've got to see this place to understand how beautiful it is. Your children or grandchildren will love to visit! Limited homesites available and there is a full-time property custodian.
