Southeastern Minnesota's scenic bluff country and the Cannon River valley provide a setting for one of the most spectacular neighborhood developments in the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area. Conveniently located within easy commuter distance of the Twin Cities and Rochester, inside the city limits of Cannon Falls, Cannon Bluffs rests on 147 acres of cedar - wooded, limestone bluffs and former agricultural fields that terrace down to the beautiful and crystal clear Cannon River . This extraordinary opportunity has several factors that came together resulting in a neigh- borhood community that combines the very best of rural and urban living with outstanding architectural design and livability into a park setting.
The
Development
The custom homes of Cannon Bluffs, built on just 38 acres, are clustered in small neighbor- hoods to accentuate the natural features of the site as well as to foster strong community ties. Development guidelines chartered by the design team encourage sustainable practices in the private and public spaces of Cannon Bluffs. Sustainable practices include native re-vegetation, narrow private roads, and an above ground storm water management system with vegetated swales and bio-retention areas. One of the main benefits to each homeowner is owning an undivided interest (thru the home- owners assn) in all of the 76 acres down to the Cannon River. This land is protected forever under the Wild and Scenic River District Act . An additional 33 acres, consisting of restored prairie, wetlands, play areas, and walking trails are owned and maintained by the homeowners' assn. for the use and enjoyment of each home- owner, their respective family and guests. Direct access and shared access to the Cannon River invites for the full recreational use of this crystal clear body of water, such as fishing, canoeing or simply exploring the river edge. The network of trail and paths crisscrossing the property showcase Minnesota's flora and fauna and are waiting to be experienced by our residents.
