The first thing you will notice on your way to Stonewood Farms is the gorgeous scenery you are driving past. Horse farms, dogwoods and azaelas galore, white picket fences, and rolling hills will be the backdrop as you travel between Ball Ground and Waleska. Once you get to the neighborhood another very obvious fact will hit you - this is no cookie cutter, overcrowded subdivision. It consists of only 11 homes - some with glorious mountain views - and all with large sections of property very unique and private. In such a small enclave of luxury - it is easy to see why each home feels like a private country estate. All the homes are constructed of hardiplank, stone accents and built on full daylight basements. Gourmet kitchens, custom cabinetry, granite, wrought iron spindles, tile surround jacuzzi tubs–the list of luxury upgrades can go on & on. If you are in need of a little “elbow room” or just tired of “city living” this neighborhood is meant for you. Prices start in the 300’s –an unbelievable value with the country manor acreage, privacy and architectural detail you will find in this small community of upscale living.

Retirees in this day and age are different than years ago. Hence, the new term “active adult” living has been coined. Cherokee County is quickly becoming one of the best places to retire in the country. Many new active-adult communities are springing up–stepless ranches, amenties rich neighborhoods, luxury architectural details, and locations close to medical and shopping facilities are all top factors that make these developments so great for retirees or active adults nearing retirement age. However the biggest draw to the area is PRICE. Many areas of the country that were retirement meccas have become unaffordable to the majority of the active adult community. Gorgeous homes in Cherokee County can still be found for under 200K! Many new communities have starting prices in the low 200’s and up. Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs are experiencing a big population explosion. Of course much of this influx is moving into the northern suburbs - Cherokee County, Forsyth County and Bartow County. Still affordable and loaded with natural beauty, people find it a great place to live and still less than an hours drive to Atlanta. Some of the great active adult communities available are Seasons at Laurel Canyon, The Orchards, The Lodge at Bridgemill, and The Cottages. Of course prices won’t always be this low - and inventory will not always be this high. Now is a great time to plan a trip to the area and check out the possiblity of relocating for your retirement or semi-retirement. There are so many great neighborhoods to choose from and so many new communities springing up that it is an exciting time to be looking for your new home or second home. Call or email me - I will be happy to send info package, maps, area activities, etc at your request.

Why are so many people moving to Northwest GA? The main reasons are: 1. cost of living 2. weather 3. proximity to Atlanta 4. gorgeous mountain scenery. Many Floridians that cannot put up with the astronomical cost of housing or the incredibly high taxes & insurance are heading to the mountains, literally! We call them half-backs here — because they do not move all the way back home up north — just half-way back. Many new home communities are springing up in the area–developers are managing to build beautiful homes at affordable prices while keeping the natural beauty surrounding the neighborhood. Most of the new home communities have a 20-40% ratio of land that they keep as green space, to be used for nature trails, picnic grounds or just as a scenic buffer for a more private community. Creekside Estates, Little Bear, Silver Creek, Great Sky, Governors Preserve, River Green and Wolf Creek are just a few of these “green space” developments. Your home-life can be tranquil and serene yet you may actually be only 5-10 minutes from shopping, schools and interstate. Cherokee County is working hard with developers to keep the area’s natural beauty but to allow some room for growth and development also. Canton, GA is getting ready to welcome two very large developments in the near future. The Bluffs Technology Park is a 740 acre mixed used community for business, residential and retail. It will also include a 370 acre reservoir with 15 miles of shoreline. Another new addition coming soon is billing itself as the largest open-air mall in Georgia. Many name-brand stores will be coming along with some great restaurants and entertainment venues. Southern hospitality reigns - even if many of the residents are recent transplants. Featured in this article is a 5 bedroom/3bath house in Creekside Estates. This neighborhood is surrounded by a backdrop of mountain vistas, creeks and waterfalls. If you are needing some “elbow room” this is the neighborhood for you. No lot is under 1 acre and the trees and natural topography have been left alone as much as possible. Call me to see this beautiful home - or other homes in Creekside Estates or neighborhing communities.
