Cleary Farm: New Homes Planned near Gurley and US-72 East
Cleary Farm is a 537-acre tract along Little Cove Road near Gurley and US-72 East. The City of Huntsville annexed it in August 2026 and set its residential zoning in October 2026.
According to the city, plans call for 400 to 500 single-family homes over about 15 years, with roughly 270 acres of mountainside left natural. Developers and builders have not been named.
Between Cleary Farm, Popejoy Farms and the neighborhoods already selling in Gurley and Owens Cross Roads, US-72 East is one of the corridors we are watching most closely.

Buying in a brand-new neighborhood
Before you visit a model home
- Bring your agent on the first visit. Many builders only let a buyer's agent represent you if the agent is with you the first time you walk in. If you sign in alone, you may lose that option.
- Know who pays us. Most builders around Huntsville work with buyer's agents and pay the commission. We confirm exactly how it is paid, in writing, before you sign anything.
- Compare the incentives, not just the price. Builder offers usually come as closing costs or a rate buydown through the builder's preferred lender. We put the numbers side by side with an outside lender so you can see which deal is actually better.
- Inspect it anyway. New homes still have defects. A pre-drywall inspection and a final inspection before closing are worth the money, and so is a walk-through before your one-year warranty runs out.
- Read the covenants. HOA rules on fences, sheds, parking and rentals vary a lot from one neighborhood to the next.
