Irresistible North Georgia Cabins

dsc_000217.jpgWhat is it about North Georgia cabins that makes people so ready to break out their high school copy of Walden and turn off all the power?? Is there truly a desire to live the “Simple Life”? We are so accustomed to big homes, endless electronics and all the heating and ac we can handle. What if all you had was your family, or a few close friends, a stack of firewood, some good old fashioned games like Pictionary, Monopoly, Scrabble or a deck of cards? Add to that a comfy chair near the fire, a bright lamp, the book you never got to finish, and of course a dog. What if the kitchen only had one oven and some stew simering on the stove? What if the screen door on the front porch full of rocking chairs squeeked just a little when you opened it?  THIS is the “roughing it” that everybody seems to fall in love with. To take it up a notch put this cabin in the Big Canoe real estate market, add gates, security, golf, tennis, fishing, safe hiking, swimming, water rock slide and a short 1 hour drive from Atlanta so you CAN actually experience this “roughing it” every weekend.

This weekend one of my favorite homes went under contract, 6152 Trout Lily Trail. It wasn’t huge or glamorous but this 2 bedroom 2 bathroom  home has more charm than many of the million plus homes in Big Canoe. The owners opted to sell it furnished so the new owners would only need to bring toothbrushes!! My favorite part od selling real estate in Big Canoe is watching the transition that the “New” Canoers make into this relaxed environment. They will discover the stars at night without light pollution and the birds will wake them in the morning. They will look out their windows any time of day and see deer grazing in their yard. Perhaps a bear will amble down in the glen or a flock of wild turkeys will scratch around on the driveway.

Yes, this home is under contract but perfect timing has given one more family an opportunity to experience this bliss. 9073 Yearling Lane has just entered the Big Canoe real estate market and it’s being sold fully furnished too! 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, all new apliances, big screened rocking chair porch, stone fireplace, rustic interior and more charm than you can shake a stick at! Offered at $249K this log cabin is waiting for it’s new family. PLUS it’s very rentable to help supplement the cost.

Please call me at (770) 655-4303 for more information or email me!
