On Thursday of last week, United Community Bank and the Owen Glen Sales Team announced a limited time opportunity to reserve up to 2 lots from a selected few at drastically reduced pricing. Owen Glen, an affordable Mountain Golf Community currently has lots available from $30,000. In addition to the low prices comes low financing rates. For a limited time, United Community Bank will be offering special financing of 2.99% on a 15 year Amortization with a 3 Year Call with 20% Down.
Owen Glen is located in the Beautiful North Georgia Mountains just minutes north of Blairsville, GA. It is a 350 Acre Gated Master-Planned Community. There will be Architectural Guidelines as well as protective Covenants and Restrictions. As of now those guidelines and covenants have not been finalized. They did mention that the Architectural Guidelines would favor “Mountain Traditional” but not leading to anything definite in plans. Home sites will be from 0.75 acres to larger 5 acres lots with golf, wooded and mountains views.
There are plans for several amenities for Owen Glen. The biggest of course is the Old Union Golf Course. This is a Denis Griffiths designed course, who by the way is the only American to design a golf course in St. Andrews Scotland. It opened in Summer of 2009 and I have had the opportunity to play Old Union and I can honestly say that it has the potential of being my absolute favorite course to play in all of North Georgia. It is a 7,667 yard championship length course, Par 72 with 5 sets of tees. There will be a practice facility with double tiered 400 yard grass range, two separate short game target greens, as well as a full putting green. The Golf Shop has plans to open by the end of 2009, but they are currently working out of a temporary trailer. There will be PGA Golf Professionals on hand to offer lessons and clinics.
Other amenities include miles and miles of walking and biking trails, trout fishing in Ivy Creek, and future plans of a picnic area complete with playground, pavilion, Owen Glen Community House, as well as tennis courts and a pool. Nearby you can enjoy Lake Nottely, Lake Chatuge, and Lake Blue Ridge. The North Georgia Mountains are full of hiking and mountain biking trails, charming historic towns filled with unique dining and shopping experiences, mountain streams and rivers for rafting and fishing, festivals and the list just goes on and on.
If you would like more information on Owen Glen, or I have already peaked your interest enough to want to look into a Weekend Discovery Package, please Contact Me, or give me a call at 706.994.8686. This is a Bank Owned Property and I would greatly appreciate it if you would allow me to offer you the information on Owen Glen, but only if you first learned of Owen Glen from this website. A quick registration and you will be on your way to finding out all there is to know about this great Mountain Community. I promise you, my family and I will be grateful that you did.
Thank You so much for taking the time to learn a little more about this great new community in our North Georgia Mountains. Please come back and visit me on “The Porch” anytime that you see fit. You are always welcome.
Make it a GREAT day!

It’s a sensational headline — “The Sellers’ Deadly Sins” — but the message is clear. Home sellers make mistakes that not only cost themselves thousands, but sometimes cost the sale, too.
NBC’s The Today Show lays it out cleanly in this 5-minute video:
1. How to respond to an “insulting offer”
2. How to handle the first purchase offer you receive
3. What do when you can’t leave your home for its Open House
4. What room in the home should be kept the neatest
But, be aware. At the video’s end, there’s a piece of advice that may sound extremely self-serving coming from a real estate professional. Don’t let it turn you off. The video’s overall message is spot-on and the advice is real-world tested.
I have to say that there is some really good advice within this video. The funny thing is this is the advice that is usually the hardest to offer to a client as a Realtor. However as a Seller, this is invaluable information to remember.
If you or someone you know is looking to sell your North Georgia Mountain Home or Cabin, please give me a call at 706-994-8686, or you can Contact Me through this website.
Selling a home is a process. Make sure to do it properly.

Beautiful Stone Entry Sign
The Sanctuary at Lake Nottely is an upscale gated community not far from town conveniently located to both golf, as well as you guessed it, Lake Nottely.

A comfortable walk through the bordering United States Forestry Service and you will be located at one of many public boat ramps on Lake Nottely. Here you and the family can launch the boat, or if you just want to take a dip in the lake to cool off, well you can do that as well.
There are currently 6 Vacant Lots available within the Sanctuary at Lake Nottely. Those prices range from $26,500 to $85,000. There are 4 Homes Available within our Northeast Georgia MLS at the time of this article. I do know of at least one other home that is not currently listed, however the present owners are willing to sell if the right Buyer comes along.

Members of the Blairsville - Union County Chamber of Commerce today made an exciting announcement on the New Tourism Marketing Campaign. “Each Season…Something New” is the new theme that seems so fitting to our beautiful Mountain community. Blairsville Georgia is the “Escape from the Daily Routine of Life” declared Cindy Williams, President of the Chamber. It truly is a Fun and Exciting place to visit every season throughout the year. It seems there is always something new, from a Festival or a Concert, to a Parade or Show going on in the community. Not to mention the most important, the beautiful seasons that we have here in the North Georgia Mountains.
There were over 160 in attendance today for the “Big Announcement” at the North Georgia Technical College. Many members of our community and merchants of Blairsville were in attendance with much anticipation. Cindy and her staff did an outstanding job in their presentation with the launch of our New Tourism Marketing Campaign. A slide show was presented with many key statistics on our community and ways in which the committee for tourism will be working in the future to promote Blairsville, Ga.
A lot of emphasis was placed on the Internet and how important it is to have that presence there. The New website will launch very soon and we actually had the opportunity to have a sneak peak at it today at the meeting. The header will feature a slide show of amazing photographs of the Blairsville Area during each of the seasons. All of the local events and activities will be posted there as well allowing for future visitors to plan in advance for their get-away to Union County. Key attractions and locations throughout the community will be posted there as well for information on places you have just got to see. You will be able to find information on the best places to eat and things to do like horseback riding, hiking, rafting, mountain biking and so much more during your visit to the North Georgia Mountains.
Come to Blairsville Georgia this year, I know you will not be disappointed. Oh yeah, should you get here and you just don’t want to leave, well that is where I can help. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to help you with any need you may have, especially Real Estate needs here in the North Georgia Mountains. Thanks so much for stopping by my site, more commonly known as “The Porch.” I hope you have found the information on here to be helpful, and please leave a comment on this or any other article that you have read. I find that my readers get just as much out of the comments that are left by other readers as the do me…maybe even more!
Make it a GREAT day!

In an attempt to Reduce Emergency Response Time in Union County, residents may have to put up with a little aggravation. There will be more than 13,000 marker signs put in place throughout Blairsville and all of Union County. This means that your current address may change. “Boy, I am glad I didn’t spend the money for that new Address Sign Engraved with our Family name on it!” I am sure that this is going to inconvenience a lot of folks out there, but an aggravation that could even save their Mountain Home or even their own lives.
There are 2 Very Important things to know if you are a Primary Resident or even if you own a Second Home, or Vacation Home in Union County.
Do NOT move the Markers once they have been put in place.
It is very important that you do not move these markers once they have been put in place. The Numbering System is determined by the Distance to your Drive-way from a major intersection. Once the System is in place, it will be possible to locate an address based on mileage from that intersection. The System calculates a maximum of 1000 Addresses per Mile, so that gives the County the ability to assign an address every 5.28 Feet allowing for plenty of room for future growth.
Do NOT use the New Address until officially notified by Union County.
If you are affected by the change, and there is a very good chance you will, then there is some Good News. You will have 6 Months to notify everyone of your New Address. During this time, the Post Office will deliver your mail to both your Old and New Address.
With this New Addressing Method in place, Union County should never have to re-address again. Commissioner Paris was quoted in The North Georgia News as saying “Our current numbering system is seriously outdated which could hamper response time in an emergency situation.” He did also go on to say “Most street and road names will remain the same, with only house numbers changing. However, there may be some road name changes but only when necessary to clear up confusing situations.”
I know that this will be such an aggravation, but I understand why the County is making the change. Please keep in mind that this is being done primarily for the safety of everyone in Union County. A little inconvenience now could save a lifetime of memories down the road. If you have any questions for the Commissioner, you can call him at 706.439.6000, or email at Union County Government.
If you don’t have an Address in the Blue Ridge, or Blairsville Georgia area and would like one, I am Your Man! I would be grateful for the opportunity to work with you for all of your Real Estate needs in the Beautiful North Georgia Mountains. You can Contact Me or pick up that phone and give me a call Right Now at 706.633.8186. I would really appreciate it.
Make it a Great Day!
