Life in Big Canoe, Real Estate in the Mountains

Calling all Halloweeners! We are in the planning stages for one of Big Canoe’s BIGGEST events of the year, TRUNK OR TREAT! Here in Big Canoe we don’t torture our children by making them hike to the top of Sanderlin Mountain for Tootsie Rolls. Rather than making the kids go to the candy, we bring the candy to the kids in 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 [...]

Lately the falling interest rates are bringing more people to Big Canoe than the foliage. Although Big Canoe has not even come close to hitting peak season for Fall, the mortgage interest rates are a little less predictable. As an agent I get about 20 emails a day from bankers and mortgage brokers aching for me [...]

I have had a lot of people ask what has happened to our monthly Big Canoe sales stats. I had no idea the stats were so popular. Dan, my husband has posted the stats from the beginning.

Hi Everyone, Yikes, It’s Monday!!! The weekend flew past faster than the Lotto Tickets at the Chevron! I didn’t do a whole lot of exploring due to the windy and overcast weather but I did manage to carve out a Saturday to head out to Jasperwith the kids. I figured the Farmer’s Market would be [...]

Seems like Hurricane Faye is blowing the summer away. The breeze here has been steady for a few days and is now starting to calm down. I was working with some clients today and we went up to Ridgeview where we saw a lot of broken limbs and leaf debris. The Ridgeview owners are probably jumping [...]

I just listed a new home in the Cherokee Neighborhood here in Big Canoe that is out of this world! I was immediately impressed by the presence and curb appeal of this home from the inviting driveway to the sunny entrance. The nearly 2 acre lot backs up to a green belt and the surrounding [...]

It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over. I sure doesn’t feel like it tonight! My kids had a blast going to the pools, hiking, playing with friends, and riding bikes. However, like all good things, summer must come to an end. Pickens County Schools started today with a welcome back to school celebration. [...]
