When the first color-tinged leaves of fall start to trickle from the tree-tops and you wonder where to curl up during the cooler months with a steaming mug of tea while gazing at a picturesque backdrop, look no further than the North Georgia mountains, where Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty has a plethora of amazing mountainside properties. Each region of the famed Georgia countryside is dotted with unique natural beauty and alluring quaint towns, all bursting with the distinct southern charm and hospitality that brings travelers back year after year. Two among them are the idyllic cities of Jasper and Big Canoe, each offering a chance to indulge your craving for complete relaxation and serenity among the incredible foliage.
The town of Jasper exemplifies the robust winter season for these northern gems of cities. Its immense raw beauty, relatively mild winters, unrivaled privacy and spectacular views earn it one of the top spots for a second home for savvy mountain vacationers. Here the absolutely stunning mountainside retreat at 635 Valley View Vista can be yours for just under $299,000, and is fabulous with rustic features juxtaposed by modern amenities for your ultimate comfort. Another way to enjoy Jasper’s rustic whimsy is by creating your own modern master-piece on a blank slate of mountainside perfection at 00 Rimrock Road, available for under $600,000. Let the earthy tones of fall inspire your design palette from the very first blue print!
A few short minutes east of Jasper is the lovely town of Big Canoe, where 928 Black Bear Trail is situated perfectly between the many towering evergreens, providing a picture perfect backdrop for a home that is as lovely as it is spacious. In the famed Big Canoe community especially known for its hospitality, don’t be afraid to request a cafe recommendation from a local, or an outdoor recreation tip from seasoned visitors. This well-kept area typically offers luxury properties, and while the higher price is a deterrent for some, the beautifully rustic homes showcase a quality of craftsmanship that simply can’t be had elsewhere.
