If you were thinking about a mountain home Big Canoe is a great buy right now. There are over 300 homes on the market in Big Canoe. You might say, " Whats wrong in Big Canoe. I am here to say as a resident of this great community nothing.  Circumstances have slowed the growth in our mountains. People used to retire at 55 Now they re 65 or older. So the feed of active Retirees has slowed. Folks are living at home longer and have their children back from college living with them. The issue not being able to sell their current home exists but this issue is slowly getting better as prices rise. So what this all means is Big Canoe homes as a part of our great mountain offerings are priced really really well. You are looking at 27 holes of golf, tennis indoor and , 3 swimming pools one indoor...

Well we really have been in the news as Big Canoe once again gets snowed in. Of course all the scenes are Atlanta, including the stuck cars etc.,  So what do things look like in the North Georgia Mountains in the snow ? This first image is part of our winter wonder land. The trees are covered in snow. It is interesting how in the snow landscape changes to a black and white view. This is a color photo.   This photo was taken a day later. The color is coming back to the woods. It is of the same area. We got about 7 inches of snow over 2 days.  Here yopu can see the mountains are covered.  The snow event started Tuesday. Many folks who live a little lower down than I do were able to move around OK by Friday. For me it was Saturday.  Now it is Sunday about 58 degrees and sunny and the snow ...

The North Georgia Mountains once again got some snow. I am snowed in again. VERY RARE. But despite what you may hear or see about Atlanta ( 60 miles South of us) the situation here was not as bad. Yes the weather man was wrong again about the timing and the accumulation. So how was this handled in Big Canoe ? If you were coming as a guest or to do work the community gates were closed. This reduced the over all traffic . Also the emergency plan for weather went into effect. So if you made it home to Big Canoe you were directed to the Ball Field in Wild Cat. From there it was  determined whether or not you could make it home. Folks like me at the higher elevations could not. But I heeded the warning and got home before the roads became impassable. Security with 4 wheel drive vehicles and ...

Today is a snow day for some of us in Big Canoe. Now I know large parts of the country got clobbered by the winter storm, but here in Big Canoe we got a winter dusting of about 1 to 1and 1/2 inches. You may think no big deal but when you are 2500 feet up and the roads twist and are sloped it is a SNOW DAY !! The winter weather is part of living in the North Georgia mountains but it is not really too bad . Here is why. 1 Yes it is cold today but already the sun is melting the snow and tomorrow the roads will be fine. 2 If you are lower elevations in Big Canoe say around 2000 feet and lower the woods are white but the black top is clear for the most part. ( I am above the snow line at 2500 feet or so. 3 It is absolutely beautiful out. My camera is in the office so sorry no pictures. 4 In ...
