Laurel Ridge - Big Canoe Real Estate Covenient to Everything!

By Karin Elliott | February 17, 2008

As a realtor and also owning a rental referral company, I feel there has been a hunk of Big Canoe real estate that has been overlooked for the newer sections. This neighborhood is Laurel Ridge, and it’s as adorable as it is convenient! Laurel Ridge is made up of about 150 free standing condos with the Craftsman / Cottage theme. These tidy homes are much larger than meets the eye. Many of them have 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths with 2 or 3 fireplaces, very well equipped kitchens, and luxurious master baths.

Who lives in Laurel Ridge? The units are privately owned and many are rented to help supplement the luxury of owning a second home. The Florida crowd will arrive for a month at a time and reside back to Naples or Boca Raton. For rentals they are wonderful for full or long term. There are a few full time residents in Laurel Ridge that enjoy the activity of the weekend excitement in the summers. Many weddings are held in Big Canoe, and often times the wedding party will rent one or 2 homes together while preparing for the big day.

The units by the lake are out of this world while the units above boast a longer view and a glimpse of the new clubhouse. Sitting on your deck at Laurel Ridge, you may be able to hear the Dekalb Symphony playing theur annual June concert, or you might sip a margarita while catching a glimpse of the fireworks over the dam. There is a brisk but brief walk to the fitness center, lake and Jeep Trail. The renters enjoy being in the center of it all while surrounded by the majestic mountains of Big Canoe.

We have a lovely and luxurious unit listed right now that has never been rented. The owners have improved the home with hidden conveniences for long term Laurel Ridge living. This unit has 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, screened porch with fireplace, and enormous decks with back yard privacy. Meticulously maintained and reasonably priced at $449K, 353 Laurel Ridge is  a high end example of Big Canoe’s cottage style section of Laurel Ridge.
