Its rich ecosystems are reflected in our unique home design! Each room highlights Alabama's ecological diversity: The main living area has a woodland theme inspired by nearby Ruffner Mountain. Murals of a scarlet tanager and tulip poplar create a forest atmosphere. The Wetland bedroom features an abstract mural complete with herons and prothonotary warblers.

The Longleaf Pine Master Suite showcases endangered species like the red-cockaded woodpecker, indigo snake, and gopher tortoise. The River Delta bedroom captures the essence of winding waterways, while the River Bottom entertainment room features unique river rock art. A river-themed hallway ties these ecosystems together, making the home feel like a living gallery of Alabama’s landscapes.
