Mentone is a quaint, welcoming village of fewer than 350 people nestled on the west brow of Lookout Mountain. At an elevation of about 1860 feet, it’s the highest point in Alabama with an incorporated town. The elevation makes for delightfully cool summer nights with stars so bright you can almost touch them. It is blessed with the incredible beauty from mountaintop views to the mists of the 106-foot high DeSoto Falls. People who come here to live are likely to stay for generations. These lots will be the perfect place to build your dream home or for a getaway for a weekend or a season. The Comer Scout Camp is here, along with Cloudmont Ski Resort, where you can practice snow skiing on manmade snow when the weather permits.
