At The Factory you can enjoy over 100 arcade games, the region’s largest go cart track, ten bowling lanes, laser tag, indoor mini golf, a kid’s play area for smaller children and much more.  At this summer kick off party, there is all of that as well as a petting zoo, carnival games, wii dancing, and animal balloon making!  This sounds like a sure way to kick off celebrating summer with the kids.

Stay tuned for my upcoming article about memorial day events and I will be writing soon about a variety of awesome summer North Georgia Mountain vacation ideas!

There will be guided tours of the Ethnobotanic Garden, Herb Garden and Medicine Trail. You can view many nature inspired arts and crafts displays and demonstrations.  There will also be edible and medicinal plant demonstrations. Tours of the historic Community Cannery and Native Plant Interpretive Center will be given as well.

I think you will not only enjoy the tour but you will learn a lot about the research center and all the wonderful and worthwhile things they do.  While you are in the area, call The Mountain Life Team to show you a variety of homes, cabins and property in Blairsville and other surrounding areas.

Located on the Toccoa River, this quaint cafe is absolutely adorable and delicious.  Specializing in breakfast and lunch, this is a great place to stop for friendly service by owners Mary and Angie and to get a wonderful meal to cure those hunger pains after all that outdoor activity!  The Lily Pad Village is also located a short distance from the cafe. After the family has enjoyed a round of mini golf, bring them here for a great lunch.

Their menu is varied and my group raved over the meatball sandwich!!  It was awesome!  The small general store is great because it carries a variety of staple items for rafters or cabin renters in the area.  You can pick up some basic items here without having to go into town!  I highly recommend dropping in this cafe.  You will be impressed with the friendliness and service.  While you are here, let The Mountain Life Team show you some amazing cabins in the Aska area.

Owners, Bill and Peggy Rush have made Fannin County their home for over 25 years.  You will find them in the store on a regular basis smiling with customers, running the cash register, stocking shelves or whatever else needs to be done.  They are open Monday through Saturday from 9 to 5 and closed on Sundays.

Taste of Amish can also make gift bags, take special orders as well as catering.  I know they catered a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon at Blue Ridge Elementary School and there were rave reviews of their yummy food.  Stop by if you can and visit this great store while you are in Blue Ridge.  Also, if you are visiting, give The Mountain Life Team a call to show you some amazing cabins and homes in the area.  Then you can shop at Taste of Amish on a regular basis!!!

Rodeos are always fun but this time of year, it is not too hot!   At 7pm each evening there will be singing entertainment presented by Steven Phillips and Midnight Express.  There will also be children’s events including a bounce house and a mechanical bull.  I had the most fun watching my kids try to stay on the bull!  What a blast they had as well!  There will be multiple vendors, food and tons more fun as well.

Get your tickets in advance at the Towns County Chamber of Commerce for $10.  At the door, they will be $12.  The event will be held at the field across from the new Blue Ridge EMC in Young Harris, near Brasstown Valley Resort.   Make it a full weekend and come stay at this beautiful resort.  In fact, look at this living social deal for Brasstown Valley.  Enjoy your visit!!

Yes, they will. But the purpose is not to replace a final inspection — it’s to attract more offers and hasten a final sale by minimizing re-negotiation.

Picture yourself as a prospective buyer. Blairsville Georgia listings which headline the availability of a pre-inspection report automatically seem to be offered by someone who is proud of their property’s condition and unafraid of what the final inspection will reveal.  To skittish prospective buyers, it serves to lessen the “fear of the unknown” that can make buyers hesitate before writing an offer. If there were a formula, it would look something like:

Eliminating objections = Attracting more offers

Pre-Inspected listings let you document major conditions that have either been addressed or left for the future owner to remediate as he or she sees fit. By noting how your asking price includes precise dollar allowances for named conditions, you display openness and conviction in the basis for your pricing. Local listings written after a pre-inspection are a lot more likely minimize last-minute re-negotiation: if you have ever been asked at the last minute to knock off  $20k from an accepted offer, you know the value of that.

It is worth noting that any serious defects that a pre-inspection identify must be disclosed, for better or for worse. But fear of a major discovery shouldn’t dissuade you: any major defect will certainly be discovered by the buyer’s inspector. The old saying applies: knowledge IS power.

If you plan to add your own property to the Blairsville GA listings any time this year, my job is to see that it brings you top dollar. Contact Us Today to talk over the way we will get that done!

Maybe you are thinking of buying a boat or jet ski but are not real sure about your decision.  What a better way to decide than to try it out!  They offer a variety of packages including half day rentals or even full week water sports vacations.  Some people love the water but with time constraints, can’t get to the lake as often as they would like to justify owning their own equipment.  There is a lot of expense to owning your own and this may be more suitable.

Whatever your situation is, this is a great idea to be able to enjoy some good quality family time on the lake.  If you are in any of these areas enjoying yourself, call us at The Mountain Life Team to show you beautiful homes that could be yours on all of these mountain lakes.  You can then own  your very own lakefront mountain property and will probably at that point want to buy your own water equipment and will know much more of what you would be looking for after renting from Young Harris Water Sports!

Not only is the huge red chair out front a favorite for my kids to crawl on and also a popular picture for tourists, but the food and service has always been amazing!  The owner, Charlie Perrone was actually born in Italy in 1957 and cooks at this restaurant.  He brings his love for italian food and likes to share many of his favorite dishes with his customers.  Even if you are not an italian food lover, they have a variety of other dishes to choose from.  One time I ate their salmon and can honestly say, it was one of the best I have ever had!

So, if you love italian or just good cooking in general, visit Charlies!  While you are in the quaint town of Ellijay, call one of our agents at The Mountain Life Team to show you some beautiful cabins and homes in the area.

With more than 43 million people relocating throughout the U.S. every year, you don’t have to wait until you are surrounded by stacks of cartons to realize how important it is to make your next move the right one. If you’re buying a house in Blairsville GA in the foreseeable future, it’s a particularly valuable idea to take the time to chat with some of your potential new neighbors. And while you’re at it, why not bring up a few relevant questions:

Which schools are best? 

School quality affects more than just property values. Especially if you have your own kids, buying a house in Blairsville Georgia is least disruptive when their new school is the best one available. You’ll make the soundest choice by comparing more than one parent’s opinion.

Is there a neighborhood watch?

You will have already aimed for the safest area possible. Now, getting involved with an active neighborhood watch can further ensure your family’s safety.  When buying a house, the presence of a neighborhood watch is a good indicator of some solid community spirit…and if there isn’t one, make sure the reason is that everyone already feels secure in the area.

What events are available in Blairsville Georgia?

Buying a house means buying a home base for all your family’s activities. By asking your neighbors which local events and activities they enjoy the most, you’ll get a glimpse of the scope and depth of the cultural life that’s going to surround you. As a side benefit, just inquiring shows you as someone who is sociable — and that you’ll be a good new neighbor to have!

 The simple act of reaching out in this way lets you familiarize yourself with a new neighborhood faster, and ultimately leads to a better-informed long term real estate decision. Especially if the area is new to you and your family, buying a house in Blairsville GA is actually a one-time opportunity to make a host of new friends. I have tons of information available for future residents. If you’re even considering buying a house in the North Georgia Mountains, don’t hesitate to call us today!
