Life in Big Canoe, Real Estate in the Mountains

OK, it’s nearly midnight and I seemed to escape April Fools Day unscathed. No buckets of water on my head or elaborate pranks involving my car floating on a pontoon boat in the center of Lake Petit. I still have about 40 minutes left in the day but everyone knows that 10 is midnight in [...]

The Market dropped more than my weight yesterday! Everyone seems to be questioning when it is going to hit the bottom.  I started to delve into all this to see what wasn’t losing money. Something astounded me and then it all made sense! According to Foxnews.com on Tuesday the following is stated to be true: The [...]

As an agent I get a lot of curious people who peruse Big Canoe homes for sale on either my site or on others. They are intrigued by the wide variety of homes from little log cabins to state of the art contemporaries. As I drive them through Big Canoe on the Introduction Tour they always [...]

She wants the cottage in the woods with a trickling stream or lake, high ceilings, big kitchen with granite, and a stone lined path to the front door and less than 3 minutes to the gate. He wants a rustic log cabin in the middle of nowhere with a big view, built in flat screen TV over the [...]

Wow! What a great fourth of July in Big Canoe!! I’m still recovering from a full day and night of fun. It all started with the Bike Parade. We arrived a little late but the kiddies were in full force riding their decked out patriotic bikes and scooters. There had to be about 30 bikes! [...]

July has brought about a new burst of enthusiasm from buyers looking for real estate in Big Canoe.  The responses to our last blog about the Big Canoe foreclosure on the creek kept me busier than a squirrel collecting nuts in Fall!  I was also delighted to see that I have officially contradicted myself in the [...]

We had quite a few calls on the Big Canoe foreclosure I last wrote about, so I decided to add more pictures of the house itself. They may not make it on the cover of Architectural Digest, but Frank Loyd Wright certainly would have considered a lot like this! As I mentioned the house needs [...]

I have a great home! It’s pretty big, 3 bedrooms on the main with level entry and even a big laundry room! My kitchen may not be gourmet, but it sure has fit the bill for some big parties. I have heard that my terrace level is a “man-pit”, with a big bar, pool table, [...]
