 Goose Pond Island (GPI)
Scottsboro, Alabama

 

Lake Guntersville is home to Goose Pond Island where you’ll find

plenty of waterfront activities, amenities and conveniences close by.

Description

GPI (Goose Pond Island) is a special lake community on the tranquil shores of Lake Guntersville.  Covering 70,000 acres, the lake offers great recreation, plenty of places to see and explore, and the peacefulness that comes with winding down after a long, fun-filled day.

Direct, dockable lakefront homesites start at $189,900.

GPI is home to The Promenade and The Oaks, which are both developed by Alabama Shoreline.  The entire GPI community contains over 250 beautiful homesites.

Amenities include a marina, lakeside lodge, swimming area, magnificent gated entranceway, and covered bus stop and mailboxes.  These amenities are available for use by all residents of the GPI community, and the lakeside lodge is a perfect place to host a party or a picnic.

Elevations create panoramic views of the lake.

Lake Guntersville Area
Lake Guntersville is a recreational paradise which boasts over 950 miles of shoreline and a reputation as the top largemouth bass fishing lake in the country.  GPI is centrally located and convenient to several metropolitan areas and the airports that serve them: Huntsville (45 min), Chattanooga (1 hour, 15 min), Birmingham (1 hour, 45 min), Nashville (2 hours, 15 min), and Atlanta (2 hours, 45 min). 

Ready for lunch at the lakeside lodge.

You can escape the high costs and extreme weather of Gulf Coast living for the scenic beauty and relaxed lifestyle of this lake community.  Northern Alabama's wonderfully mild climate allows you to enjoy outdoor activities year-round, and this area is home to a number of courses on the famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail.

Rolling hills meet early morning mist on the water.

This area combines the charm of a small Southern town with an excellent school system, plentiful restaurants, shopping, and health care services.  The nearest metropolitan area, Huntsville, has been recognized by numerous media publications as one of the top small cities in the United States.

All utilities to homesites run underground, and protective covenants are instilled to preserve the beauty of the community.  In fact, GPI’s striking appeal convinced PORTICO Magazine to choose GPI as the site of their 2007 Dream Home. Taylor Hicks, of American Idol fame, owns a lot in The Oaks.

About the Lake Guntersville Area
Guntersville is located in the Northeast Alabama Mountain-Lakes region on the Tennessee River. Just 25 miles south of Huntsville, the park is centrally located 90 miles north of Birmingham, 150 miles south of Nashville, and 150 miles northwest of Atlanta.

While the lake is the city’s defining feature, the Appalachian foothills location makes Guntersville an ideal location for many outdoor pursuits. If fishing, swimming, or boating are not your thing, choose a lakeside hammock, mountain bike, golf course, hunting field, campsite or dramatic overlook.

These options and more are available throughout the city and the 6,000-acre Lake Guntersville State Park with its resort hotel, campgrounds, golf course and hiking trails. With a heritage rich in Native American and Civil War history, the city museum offers a glimpse of the past through artifacts and exhibits.
