Dahlonega, GA

Today in the North Georgia Mountains it is chilly and a bit windy. The air is crisp and clean. Even though the leaves are off the trees it is still wonderful to look out at nature. The point here is if you are looking for a mountain retreat or a place to live full time consider the North Georgia Mountains. Why?

1 We have great gated communities like Big Canoe and Bent Tree. These communities offer a full experience of nature and amenities.

2 We have rural land if you decide to go green acres

3 We have great schools and medical facilities.

4 Being on the Southern end of the Mountains we have milder winters than they do further North. We still have cool summers. I ran my A/C for about 9 days this summer.

Most of all, all this can be had at really affordable prices. Farm land can start as low as 8,000 an acre for tracts usually above 5 acres. Homes on 1 acre start at 140,000. This is for quality homes and good land. Now in gated communities you may pay a little more.

Bottom line here is that North Georgia is a great place to live that will not cost you an arm and a leg. How long we stay this way , who knows. But for now we are a great place to be if you want, peace quiet and beautiful healthy mountain living.

North Georgia has a growing Wine industry. Yesterday we went to 3 Sisters Vineyards. This is near Dalonega and just a stones throw from Big Canoe and Jasper. When you see these photos remember you are in the North Georgia Mountains not Northern California

It is late summer in North Georgia. This year we have had great weather and rain. So everything is green still.

Can you see yourself standing here in the clear air. It was so quiet and beautiful. This is one of the many wineries that have started in our mountains.

And of course the beautiful grapes. I have to confess after I took this picture I snitched a grape. BUT I did buy a bottle at the Vineyard.

North Georgia is a beautiful place to visit and live. This is just one place in our great mountains. remember your Latin?
