April 3rd, 2010Categories: Blairsville Georgia Real Estate reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Community reVIEWS

There is a fascinating community located just off of The Appalachian Highway in Blairsville, GA. The Summit is comprised of beautiful Traditional Homes more conducive to full time residents of Union County. The Summit has much to offer, convenience to 515, the new Wal-Mart, and of course downtown Blairsville. This all paved community boasts breathtaking views of the Mountains in North Carolina, Tennessee. In addition to Mountain Views in North Georgia, The Summit enjoys incredible views of Lake Nottely, from canal lake all the way to the dam!

Currently within The Summit, there are 3 Homes For Sale and 10 Vacant Lots For Sale. I have also attached a copy of the Plat for you to review. Of the Restrictions within the community, I would like to point out just a few. Before you can begin any construction on a home within The Summit, you must submit your plans to the Architectural Review Board to approve the overall aesthetics of the home. The homes most contain no less than 1800 sq.ft. of heated living space, excluding any carports, garage, or basement. If the plans call for a second level, then a minimum of 1500 sq.ft. must be on the main level. All building exteriors must be completely covered with stone, brick, stucco, wood, or wood like materials. Please note that wood must be painted in Earth Tone colors. The last thing that does come up quite regularly, is the roof pitch must be no less than an 8/12 pitch excluding porches. Please consult with your Real Estate Agent for a complete list of all the Restrictions before you purchase your home or vacant lot within The Summit.

If you are not currently working with a Realtor(R), I would be grateful for the opportunity to earn your business. Please Contact Me or simply give me a call at 706.994.8686 if you have any questions or concerns on The Summit, or any other property or community located within the North Georgia Mountain Real Estate Market.

A great overlooked community near Blairsville in the North Georgia Mountains is Arden Acres.  Arden Acres is located conveniently between Blairsville and Blue Ridge, GA. less than a mile off of 515 the Appalachian Highway. Once an old Union County family farm, Arden Acres enjoys beautiful Mountain and Pasture Views surrounded by aged old Hardwood Trees, painting an absolute gorgeous Mountain Portrait.

There are a few Vacant Lots that are being offered as a re-sale. One of the most important restrictions that I should point out to you is that the minimum square footage for a home within Arden Acres is 1900 sq.ft. total heated space less patios, carport, basement, and garage.  In addition to that, 1700 sq.ft. has to be above ground. Other covenants and restrictions are some what common for our area, items such as no mobile homes, no businesses, no commercial styled signage, and many other items that need to be closely looked at.

November 3rd, 2009Categories: Blairsville Georgia Real Estate reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Community reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Golf & Resort reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Real Estate VIEWS

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!

October 2nd, 2009Categories: Georgia Mountain Community reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Home Seller's reVIEWS, Georgia Mountain Real Estate VIEWS

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.

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.

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.
