Life in Big Canoe, Real Estate in the Mountains

Thank you all for the fabulous comments on the “Bug-Brawl”. I love getting these since it’s the first contest like this that we have ever done. Sunday is the cut-off so keep ‘em coming! On another quick note, we have offered to provide profiles for animals in need of a good home for Big Canoe Animal [...]

  Today is a lucky day because I picked up a FABULOUS listing!  It’s one of only 3 homes on Lake Sconti with a clear lake and golf course view. It is centrally located and within walking distance to all the amenities, especially the new clubhouse!! The 2 bedroom, 2 bath home with loft has a huge private lake [...]

Today started out with heavy clouds over the North Georgia mountains, and buckets of rain falling from the sky.  Not exactly the kind of day where it’s easy to find something fun to do outdoors, but that’s exactly what we did – we went blueberry picking.   After a quick breakfast at the local Huddle House, [...]

 I haven’t been blogging recently due to a rush of house hunters looking to purchase, move,  and get settled in Big Canoe so they can enjoy Fall in the North Georgia Mountains. It seems so strange to me because I just came back from Ellijay with a crate of fresh summer peaches! However these buyers are [...]

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, [...]

We often have clients ask us about the sales history on our listings in Pickens and Dawson counties (located in the North Georgia mountains).  Most of the listings we have are in Big Canoe which is located in both Dawson and Pickens, and Bent Tree, which is located in Pickens.  Here in Big Canoe, realtors often have a [...]

The grand opening was a big hit. From the moment I walked up to the the Big Canoe clubhouse, I was greeted with a flute of champagne with a floating strawberry and a large crowd of curious neighbors. Complimentary shuttles delivered guests from all over Big Canoe. Luckily I was able to park at my [...]
