At The Oaks, we’ve focused on feature and paid attention to detail to make living here a pleasure.

Outside your home, will be a community center and covered pavillion available to all members. Near the pavillion will be the outdoor BBQ grills, a stone fireplace and picnic tables to enjoy friends and family in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains.
This over 55, active adult, low maintenance community is located again in the small town of Blue Ridge in the North Georgia Mountains. Serene, quaint and charming. The Oaks is located only 2 hours north of Atlanta, 30 miles from Murphy, North Carolina and 85 miles from Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Mountain High. Heaven’s Close By!
November 30th, 2007Categories: Blue Ridge Georgia Real Estate reVIEWS, North Georgia Real Estate VIEWS
Aptly named, Mountain High offers residents breathtaking views of Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. This gated community also boasts underground utilities, community water and wide paved streets that lead to unparalleled mountain living. Centrally located from quaint downtown Blue Ridge Georgia, and historic Murphy North Carolina, Mountain High is but a short drive to Ocoee Rafting and beautiful 
Lake Blue Ridge. This casually elegant and meticulously designed log home community is situated on the highest developed points of Fannin county. Here in all too rare pristine setting with nearly half of the county being United States Forestry Service. Hiking trails meander throughout this family friendly, incredibly mountain landscaped community.
Mountain High. Heaven is truly close by.

Blue Ridge is on the map again! Trip Advisor, one of the world’s largest travel survey community on the Internet, has ranked Blue Ridge Georgia as #5 in the Top 10 United States Tourist Destinations!
Jan Hackett of the Fannin County Chamber of Commerce was quoted in The News Observer as saying “This is great news for our community, and yet another way to get the Blue Ridge name out to the tourists.”
According to the Trip Advisor survey, the major 
trends travelers value include cleanliness, which is rated above all else, and an environmental friendly community.
If you have never been on the forum of Trip Advisor, I would suggest you check it out. It is amazing to me just how many folks are on the forum discussing everything from dining reviews to North Georgia Cabin Rentals, and from things to do to places you have got to see, all concerning the North Georgia Mountains including Blairsville, Ellijay and practically the whole world.

Who Else Wants This Election To Be Over?
October 30th, 2007Categories: Blue Ridge Georgia Real Estate reVIEWS, North Georgia Dining reVIEWS, North Georgia Real Estate VIEWS
Early voting started today for the special election to determine if Liquor-by-the-Drink can be sold in Fannin County 
restaurants. Advanced voting will continue until Friday November the 2nd. According to The News Observer in Friday’s October 26th paper, there has been an increase of over 2000 voters bringing the total number of registered voters to 15,327. I wonder if those new voters are locals or part-timers? I think we all know the answer to that question!
Is Liquor-by-the-Drink the Future of Fannin County? Did Fannin County actually loose 30 Million Dollars to restaurants just down the road in Ellijay within Gilmer County? Did it result in a loss of $875,000 tax dollars for Fannin County?

October 18th, 2007Categories: Blue Ridge Georgia Real Estate reVIEWS, North Georgia Community reVIEWS, North Georgia To-Do reVIEWS
The Traditional Halloween Safe Zone in downtown Blue Ridge Georgia is coming upon us fast. The Blue Ridge Business Association is holding its 
annual festival this year on Halloween, October the 31st. All the festivities begin around 5:00 P.M. It’s fun for the whole family and truly a sight to see!
Folks come from all over to enjoy our annual Halloween Celebration filled with lots of small town charm.
The downtown shops stay open late and local merchants fill the sidewalks to pass out candy and to show their support of our children’s safety. This isn’t fun for just the little ones, old alike come dressed poised to win top prize in the costume contests. There are usually vendors selling light up toys, and special Halloween treats which always seems to catch my children’s eye. You will find your local civic organizations such as the Blue Ridge Rotary Club as well as The Blue Ridge 
Kiwanis Club. Also everyone from local Home Supply stores to area Real Estate Agents, Dentists to Doctors. It is an amazing event held within our community and just gets bigger with every passing year.
One of this years new comers to the festival is Keller Williams Realty Blue Ridge. Keller Williams is very proud and excited to be apart of this family fun community event. They have decided to do something a little special for the children this year. Keller Williams is holding a coloring contest for children ages 1–12.
