The vision

One extraordinary landscape.

Sadler Farms is a rare opportunity to create a distinctive waterfront community on Lake Wheeler in Limestone County, Alabama — a place where rolling green hills, mature forests and expansive lake views come together.

The vision is a thoughtfully planned community of approximately 300 residences, from two-bedroom townhomes overlooking a common marina to private one-acre estate homesites along the water — designed around the land rather than on top of it.

Concept only — subject to planning, engineering and approvals.

An extraordinary waterfront setting

One mile of shoreline. Endless possibilities.

The property sits on Lake Wheeler just east of where the Elk River meets the Tennessee — the last mile of undeveloped waterfront on this stretch of the lake, facing one of its widest points.

  • Boating and cruising the Tennessee River
  • Kayaking and paddleboarding along the shoreline
  • Fishing on Lake Wheeler
  • Swimming and watersports, where permitted

A common marina

The heart of the community.

Envision a marina nestled in a naturally protected cove — a gathering place for residents and the everyday gateway to the lake.

  • Common boat ramp
  • Shared dock for residents and guests
  • Individual dry boat storage
  • Landscaped gathering areas overlooking the water

Marina features, capacity and locations are subject to engineering, permitting and regulatory approval.

A landscape preserved for generations

More than a development. A legacy of land.

For more than 75 years, one family has cared for this property — its mature hardwoods, rolling hills and hidden meadows. The vision carries that forward:

  • Walking trails through mature forest and open fields
  • Common green space and scenic lake overlooks
  • Roads that follow the natural contours of the land
  • Homesites placed to preserve views and trees
