113 GENERAL JACKSON COURT is a bank owned home. There is only one exterior photo so we are uncertain on the condition. The listing states ” As Is” meaning seller doesn’t warranty any of the systems or appliances.

The link below is to archived MLS listings that do have additional photos.

I like the neighborhood of the 112 IRONGATE ROAD house. One has to go through a neighborhood of much older smaller homes to reach it but the neighborhood is very nice. Homes at the back of the development have views and are surrounded by some open space.

The link below is to the Google satellite image. (Google hasn’t driven the neighborhood yet.) There is some open space at the back of the house but the sides and front are pretty close to neighboring homes.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=112+IRONGATE+ROAD,+MADISON,+AL+35757&hl=en&ll=34.817911,-86.727737&spn=0.002796,0.005273&sll=34.789883,-86.733142&sspn=0.001399,0.002637&vpsrc=6&hnear=112+Irongate+Rd,+Madison,+Alabama+35757&t=h&z=18

The sloped lot does give me some concern. It’s possible to design, build and maintain storm water run off on homes on sloped lots but they are much more prone to foundation problems.

The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood in the past twelve months.

1111 KELLY VALLEY LANE is proposed construction adjacent to Sparkman High School. It is in a very nice neighborhood but based on the Google satellite image at the link below the house will be impacted by noise and stadium lights from sporting events.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1111+KELLY+VALLEY+LANE,+HARVEST,+AL+35749&hl=en&ll=34.83399,-86.716976&spn=0.007908,0.021093&sll=34.817911,-86.727737&sspn=0.002796,0.005273&vpsrc=6&hnear=Kelly+Valley+Ln,+Harvest,+Madison,+Alabama+35749&t=h&z=16

The house will be about 3,000′ from Highway 53 so there will be minimal traffic noise from the highway. Please note that the house is about a mile south of Anderson Hills. This neighborhood was hard hit by the April 27, 2011 tornado. While there was no loss of life there was substantial damage.

http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&source=hp&q=anderson+hills+tornado+damage&gbv=2&oq=anderson+hills+tornado+damage&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=1569l8539l0l10162l29l29l0l15l15l0l235l2150l4.5.5l14l0

This neighborhoods was also hit by a strong tornado in 1999 and in 1974 as well. Some residents of the neighborhood are not rebuilding. While I can’t think of any logical reason that the neighborhood would be prone to tornados, some people think that the neighborhood is jinxed.

111 IVY RIDGE ROAD is in a nice Madison County neighborhood just north of the city. It is near Jeff road and Highway 53, two of our north south traffic arteries. While traffic is heavy by Huntsville standards during rush hour, Highway 53 is being widened now. It feeds Research Park Boulevard that connects to I 565. Google is not able to locate this street so please click on the address for a map of the property location.

The house has been on the market since 09/29/11. It is listed at $103 per square foot. The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 01/01/11. Including one new construction sale the average sold price was $116 per square foot with a range of $105 to $123 per square foot. At first look the house appears to be aggressively priced.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115183842

242 WEDGEWOOD TERRACE ROAD is located in the same neighborhood. It is listed at $117 per square foot and has been on the market since 07/07/10 it was originally listed at $549,900 and has has one price reduction to the current $534,000. The listing indicates the house is unoccupied and the photos show the house empty as well. Since the house has been on the market for a long time and is unoccupied the owner may be motivated to negotiate.

107 GREYMONT DRIVE is in the same neighborhood at the previous two properties. It is listed at $116 per square foot and has been on and off the market since 05/18/11. It was originally listed at $675,000 and has had two price reductions. The house is occupied.

16484 SNUG HARBOR ROAD is located in a newer south Huntsville neighborhood. The neighborhood is located at the foot of Green Mountain. It is very close to Huntsville’s main marina, Ditto Landing. It is close to Redstone Arsenal. South Huntsville is desirable with good, stable schools but it is a little difficult to reach other areas of Huntsville because the southwest 1/4 of the city is taken up by Redstone Arsenal. To reach west Huntsville, Madison, Research Park and the airport one must first travel north to Governor’s Drive or I 565.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=16484+SNUG+HARBOR+ROAD,+HUNTSVILLE,+AL+35803&hl=en&ll=34.584535,-86.543341&spn=0.007102,0.042186&sll=27.994401,-84.902344&sspn=34.448831,86.396484&vpsrc=6&hnear=16484+Snug+Harbor+Dr+SE,+Huntsville,+Alabama+35803&t=h&z=15&layer=c&cbll=34.585766,-86.542552&panoid=5Amz_Tu11vrRNu1xXzsx2Q&cbp=11,0,,0,0

This new construction home first went on the market on 01/27/09 at $669,900.

The house is listed at $133 per square foot. The link below is to recent MLS activity in the neighborhood. The average sold price was $111 per square foot with a range of $111 to $113 per square foot. At $113 per square foot the house appears to be substantially overpriced.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115183877

Given the house was completed at the peak of Huntsville real estate market and has been on the market for so long, the builder may be willing to take a loss on a sale.


11034 EVEREST CIRCLE is in a central south Huntsville neighborhood located on Mathis Mountain.

The link below is to the Google satellite image and street view of the house during construction.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=11034+EVEREST+CIRCLE,+HUNTSVILLE,+AL+35803&hl=en&ll=34.619541,-86.556296&spn=0.000887,0.005273&sll=34.618906,-86.555915&sspn=0.007999,0.021093&vpsrc=6&hnear=11034+Everest+Cir+SE,+Huntsville,+Alabama+35803&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=34.619537,-86.556296&panoid=E8heGWpSrDsiluvb-_y9Tg&cbp=11,105.86,,0,0

The house has been on the market since 07/13/11 and was originally listed at $719,900. There has been one price reduction to to present $699,900 / $123 per square foot.

Most homes in the STONEMARK subdivision are much older so finding meaningful comparable sales in the immediate neighborhood will be difficult. That being said the link below is to a summary of MLS activity if the neighborhood since 01.01.11. The average sold price was $100 per square foot with a range of $85 to $116 per square foot.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115184000

The only concerns I have with the location are the steep lot and the higher probability of elevated radon gas levels. Our mountainous areas with porous limestone geology tend to have higher radon levels. We can make any offer contingent on a home inspection and radon testing. Since the house is on a steep lot we should probably have a structural engineer or foundation specialist inspect the foundation and storm water diversion systems as well. If elevated radon levels are found the problem can be corrected by the seller for $2,000 – $3,000.

The house is occupied so seller may not have as much motivation to sell as an unoccupied home.


112 SHILOH CREEK DRIVE is in a new Madison neighborhood. It is under construction with an anticipated 02/01/2012 completion date.

Google doesn’t have the address in it’s database yet so click on the address for the approximate location of the property. On the map click on hybrid for a satellite image of the approximate location pre-construction.

Knowing that there is a creek and some low laying land in this area I looked up the flood map below. We will need to do a more through search if the house becomes a contender but the map shows that the subdivision lays outside a nearby flood zone.

From the satellite image it looks link the area behind the subject property will be developed.

There haven’t been any sales in this development yet. If the house does become a candidate for you we will look outside the neighborhood for comparables. We will also need to research the builder. While I know of them, I haven’t had first hand experience. The link below is to the three active listings in the neighborhood

108 COVESHIRE PLACE is located in Clift’s Cove an established upscale neighborhood in Madison. This home has been on the market since 09/26/11 and was originally listed at $732,000 There has been one price reduction to the current $699,000 / $149 square foot.

The link below is to a summary of all MLS activity in the neighborhood in the past twelve months. The average sold price was $114 per square foot with a range of $74 to $140 per square foot. The subject home is priced substantially above the highest recent sale.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115184059

The link below is to the Google satellite image of the property. Google hasn’t driven down the street yet for a street view.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=108+COVESHIRE+PLACE,+MADISON,+AL+35758&hl=en&ll=34.722308,-86.728134&spn=0.0014,0.002637&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.28862,86.396484&vpsrc=6&hnear=108+Coveshire+Pl,+Madison,+Alabama+35758&t=h&z=19

While some homes in the area are on a hilltop and have views I don’t think this house is on a hill. For teh present time there should be a view of the neighborhood pond across the empty lot across the street. That lot will however be developed eventually.

The neighborhood is on the slopes of Rainbow Mountain. Homes in this area are prone to elevated radon levels so testing is critical.

6714 MOUNTAIN LEDGE DRIVE is located in Hampton Cove, one of my favorite areas. The area is surrounded by mountains and some homes have great views. There is open space, a greenway and a Robert Trent Jones golf trail. There is basic shopping and a few restaurants in place. Just east, over Montesano there is Huntsville Hospital, abundant shopping, restaurants and a movie theater.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=6714+MOUNTAIN+LEDGE+DRIVE,+OWENS+CROSS+ROADS,+AL+35763&hl=en&ll=34.645213,-86.501176&spn=0.003963,0.010546&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.28862,86.396484&vpsrc=6&hnear=6714+Mountain+Ledge+Dr,+Owens+Cross+Roads,+Alabama+35763&t=h&z=17

While there is some traffic on Old Big Cove road to the west, we don’t expect traffic to increase because of some good forward thinking by city planners. Taylor road to the east takes most all of the traffic in this area.

The home has been on the market since 11/01/11 It sold in 2009 for $479,820. At the current list price of $475,000 it is listed at $96 per square foot. The link below is to a summary of all MLS activity in the neighborhood since 01/01/11. The average sold price was $113 per square foot with a range of $98 to $131 per square foot.

3201 MOSSY ROCK ROAD is also in Hampton Cove. It is further to the northeast and in a valley that connects Hampton Cove to the upscale McMullen Cove and the town of Gurley. To the northwest there is a mountain and to the south and east there is currently open land then a river and then more mountains. The topographic map below with a flood map overlay shows the neighborhood skirts a floor plain.

The link below is to the Google satellite image. Google hasn’t driven in front of the house but drove down the street beside the house.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=3201+MOSSY+ROCK+ROAD,+HAMPTON+COVE,+AL+35763&hl=en&ll=34.686563,-86.439636&spn=0.007922,0.021093&sll=34.68662,-86.445682&sspn=0.001998,0.005273&vpsrc=0&hnear=3201+Mossy+Rock+Rd+SE,+Owens+Cross+Roads,+Alabama+35763&t=h&z=16

The lots are relatively small and the house is located on an interior lot. There will be views but they will be obstructed by other homes.

The house is listed at $103 per square foot. It was first listed on 03/07/11 at $515,000. The current owner paid $463,891 for the house in 2007.

126 FEATHERSTONE LANE and 130 FEATHERSTONE LANE are proposed construction homes also in Hampton Cove. The neighborhood is north of central Hampton Cove closer to Huntsville.


Huntsville AL homes for sale


The link below is to the Google satellite image and street view of the approximate location of the proposed construction. I think the homes will be built in the open area just south of the “A” icon.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=130+FEATHERSTONE+LANE,+OWENS+CROSS+ROADS,+AL+35763&hl=en&ll=34.670735,-86.482315&spn=0.007924,0.021093&sll=34.686563,-86.439636&sspn=0.007922,0.021093&vpsrc=6&hnear=130+Featherstone+Ln+SE,+Owens+Cross+Roads,+Alabama+35763&t=h&z=16

This proposed construction is in an neighborhood of older homes. While the location is desirable the new home’s value will be limited by the surrounding properties. Featherstone Lane is a little busy for a residential street. It is a common cut through from Cauldwell Lane / King Drake / Dug Hill to Old Highway 431. There are some bone rattling speed bumps along Featherstone Lane in an attempt to slow and discourage traffic. There is a development of modest homes in the dirt area at the corner of Featherstone and Cauldwell.

2606 LEGACY PRESERVE DRIVE and 4705 LEGACY PRESERVE CIRCLE are proposed construction and new construction homes a little further north towards Huntsville at the base of Montesano Mountain.


Huntsville Alabama homes for sale




The link below is to the Google satellite image and street view of the neighborhood. Some of the homes will have mountain views. Note that there are power lines to the south of the subdivision. The development is relative close to Highway 431 so there may be some traffic noise from trucks coming down the mountain. While there have been improvements to the intersection of Dug Hill Road and Highway 431 there are several wrecks there every year.

122 S WILLIAMS AND BROAD DRIVE is in a unique neighborhood consisting of both older and newer homes. All of the homes are custom built.












The link below is to the Google image. The house is on a sloped lot but it doesn’t look like it was build on fill that can settle and cause foundation problems. It is near the end of the street so there will be traffic coming from the few dozen other residents along the road.

9 HUNTLEIGH PLACE is located in McMullen Cove. This is a new upscale development in a picturesque valley just east and north of Hampton Cove. The development includes a greenway, acess to the Flint River, hiking trails, mountain overlooks and a pool and clubhouse.

140 MISTY RIVER LANE is located on the west side of Huntsville just west of Redstone Arsenal. This is Huntsville’s fastest growing area. There is a lot of development in the area and in the short term there are some traffic concerns. By Huntsville standards Zierdt Road the main acess to the area is congested at rush hour. There are road improvement projects in progress and long term this will be a great area.
