Ellijay, GA

I was showing property today and took these pictures from a home that is priced at 179000. It is on 2.38 acres so a lot of what you see is the view. The house itself is almost incidental. But it has a master on the main 3 other bedrooms and inside looks to be about 4000 square feet. Yes it will need some work but look at the view

Could you live coming home to this view. PLenty of pasture great for horses and what a price! discover affordable beautiful North Georgia

Land sales right now are terrible where I am. 3 years ago for every home I sold I sold 4 pieces of land. Today the ratio has turned the other way. Why?

First there is the financing. Lenders do not want to lend on land. It is easy to walk away from. So they want more money down and often rates are up to a point higher.

Second in so many cases it is less expensive to buy an existing home than to build. So construction loans again want more down and are interest rated higher.

So why is it a great time to by land? It is a great time to buy land because prices are low reflecting the problems in the market. Yes you may have to hold for a while. But if you can afford to buy now do it. That horse farm or vegetable garden or just SPACE you may have always dreamed about has gotten much more affordable. Land is what the home sits on. So it is the bottom. Start from the bottom up.

If you are looking to buy or invest in our great North Georgia Mountains give the pros at All Mountain Realty a call. Since nobody is buying now is a GREAT time to buy land.

The vales from emerald quilts are waked
Viridian green-clad boughs draw nigh
Awake to don the robes of leaf
As celadon waves crash on mountains high.

Spring comes late to the mountains of North Georgia! But the mountains take on a special beauty as they transform from wintry grays and browns into a carpet of green.

Beginning in the river valleys of the lowlands, and gradually rising into the high elevations, the emerald tide rolls in swells towards the crests of the range. The advent of spring occurs day after day in each topographic plane.

It's a special kind of beauty!

I love the North Georgia Mountains and one day while Breana and I we're up that way we ran up on the following place called "Black Bear Ridge"  talk about a beautiful place.  Well I am pleased to say that I have now met the terrific agent for the community and according to her the developer is willing to do owner financing, knock 15% off lot prices, give free water hook up and free water for a year and waive the POA fee for a year! If you know of anyone who wants a beautiful Mountain View Lot...that's the place. Black Bear is a Premier Log Home Community...so only cabins can be built in here...

 Below is our original post.

Breana and I went up to the Ellijay mountains to visit with my parents and ran across this beautiful subdivision called Black Bear Ridge Mountain sitting well off the beaten path. Ever since we purchased the flip video we try and take it every where we go. We have such a great time with it. I took several videos while visiting with my parents. The veiws from the whole community were spectacular. The cabin in the video is my favorite.
