Property Details

Location

Hawk Bluff is located in the northwest corner of Georgia on Lookout Mountain, which is largely the southern terminus of the Cumberland Plateau. More specifically, the property is located in Walker County off of Nickajack Road. Hawk Bluff has an elevation of ~2,300 feet.

Most notably, Hawk Bluff is located only 13 miles or 20 minutes from the heart of downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee. Chattanooga has become one of America’s most dynamic middle-sized cities with an array of exciting venues for nearby residents. New York Times is quoted as saying, “Not too small and not too big, Chattanooga is really the undiscovered gem of Tennessee.” This convenience to all of Chattanooga’s amenities (restaurants, festivals, airport, hospitals) is a major benefit to owning Hawk Bluff.

The property is located just two hours from Atlanta, Birmingham, and Nashville.

Locale

Hawk Bluff is located next to some of Chattanooga’s most popular outdoor venues and natural attractions that provide the outdoor escape that so many of us seek.

Lula Lake Land Trust: A shining example of the benefits of conservation, the Lula Lake Land Trust has protected over 8,000± acres on Lookout Mountain with an emphasis to preserve the Rock Creek and Bear Creek watersheds. Their efforts have guaranteed these abundant resources will benefit both current and future generations, and the LLLT provides opportunities to horseback ride, mountain bike, hike, picnic, and just simply enjoy the great outdoors. Located just a few minutes from the main entrance, Hawk Bluff boasts some of the best access to these LLLT resources.

Cloudland Canyon State Park: Located on the western edge of Lookout Mountain, this is one of the most scenic parks in the state of Georgia, offering rugged geology and beautiful vistas. The park straddles a deep gorge cut into the mountain by Sitton’s Gulch Creek, and elevation differs from 800± to 1,980± feet. Hawk Bluff’s entrance is located right next to the main access for the Cloudland Canyon Connector trailhead, which means the owner of Hawk Bluff can strike out on a mountain bike, hike or horseback ride from their own backdoor and travel on miles of well maintained trails to reach direct access to Cloudland Canyon State Park.

In addition, there are boundless other opportunities nearby that surround the Chattanooga community for an outdoor enthusiast to enjoy.

Climate

Lying within the humid subtropical zone of the United States, the area offers a mild, pleasant climate and four distinct seasons. Spring arrives in March with mild days and cool nights, and by late May temperatures have warmed up considerably to herald warm summer days. On average, July is the warmest month of the year. The summer months tend to receive more precipitation than other times of the year, and the area has an average annual rainfall of 53 inches. Fall is marked by mild-to-warm days and cooler nights. Winter is usually mild, with the coldest days featuring lows near or slightly above freezing and highs in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Snow occurs sporadically with an average annual accumulation of approximately five inches.

Aesthetic Considerations

One of the most striking features of Hawk Bluff is its location on the eastern brow of Lookout Mountain. The ~2,300 feet of elevation and unique ridge line puts you high enough to enjoy gorgeous views from several different vantage points that include sunrises, sunsets and scenery looking back over the mountain.

Recreation

The landscape of Hawk Bluff and its access to an expansive network of neighboring lands transforms your actual land interests into a property that feels and operates much larger – it becomes reflective of several thousands of acres. There is a trail system in place that can be taken from the property all the way to High Point, the tallest peak of Lookout Mountain, and then continuing on through the Five Points trail system that ultimately leads to Cloudland Canyon State Park. This trail system is available for most all outdoor activities including horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking.

Horse pastures and equine facilities could be constructed on the property along with a host of other things such as food plots for wildlife to support hunting interests. There is also the ideal location to build a mountain lake that would be fed by at least two springs located on the property.
