Small town with humble beginnings

Beginning as a community of settlers who made the trek south for better opportunities, Owens Cross Roads gets its name from original resident Thomas J. Owens, a Virginian who set down roots literally at the “cross roads” that would develop into a thriving community backed by natural beauty and sprawling homes. Starting with just one home, the community grew as more settled in the area from Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas, developing into a welcome abode just minutes from Huntsville. "It's a beautiful place to live," says Leah Miller, a Realtor with The Miller Team at Keller Williams Huntsville. "You're literally surrounded by nature preserves. You've got farmland and horse stables – Owens Cross Roads is great for anyone looking for that country lifestyle." Realtor Terri Cote with Keller Williams-Huntsville says the city is a convenient connector community between Huntsville and Guntersville with great mountain views and a lot of high end homes with space to enjoy.

Outdoor trails to discover

To get outside, Bethel Spring Nature Preserve sits on 360 acres with an abundance of forests, springs, creeks, and close to two miles of trails. Visitors can also hike to one of Madison County’s largest waterfalls. The Flint River Greenway can be accessed from Owens Cross Roads. Walkers can spot deer, rabbits, birds and other wildlife. For family-friendly outdoor fun, locals can head to JDM Family Farm. Visitors can pick a pumpkin or can check out the farm's Horse Camp for kids. Five miles west, the Green Mountain Nature Trail is 72 acres of serene nature with a covered bridge leading to a historic log cabin dating back to 1810. The park also has Sky Lake, a popular location for fishing. To hit the links, Owens Cross Roads is part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail with Hampton Cove sitting right outside the community.

Small town center

Perfect Timing Bar and Grill is a local tavern known for burgers and spicy hot wings. Locals can enjoy a craft beer at the bar or relax over a meal on the patio. Grandmother's House takes family tradition to the next level. The house was built by the owner's grandparents in 1928, and it's been preserved as much as possible apart from its modern kitchen. Patrons will be transported into a cozy home filled with antiques and family photos. Wenona Moorer, the restaurant owner, prepares dishes using her family recipes. Locals love the rib-eye steaks, fried catfish, homemade desserts and the atmosphere that makes them want to slow down and stay awhile. For everyday essentials, Publix sits nearby.
