Delightful Georgia
By Alyssa Mammano
The draw of delightful Georgia may be found in the state’s beautiful scenery, which embraces you all while taking your breath away. Its allure may also be found in the state’s long-standing history that has been carefully preserved in quaint small towns. Or, it could be its metropolitan areas, where new businesses, local eateries, boutiques and cultural entertainment are celebrated. Most who settle in Georgia have proudly claimed a borough as their own and will feverishly boast about all it has to offer. The luxury real estate agents prevalent in each city are especially eager to share all of their areas’ most attractive qualities with you.
Julie Barnett of Harry Norman Realtors proclaims the recognition of Lake Burton as the Crown Jewel of Georgia for its pristine waters and magnificent mountain vistas. Located in northeast Georgia, just an hour and a half from Atlanta, Asheville and Greenville, the local town of Clayton lies along Lake Burton’s shoreline. “It is dotted with a variety of boutique shops and dining choices, from fine farm-to-table restaurants to outdoor burgers,” says Barnett. “Additional lake dining can be found at the Marinas and The Waterfall Golf Club that sits high above the lake showing off the incredible majestic views of the Appalachian Mountains.”
A short drive down I-85 from Lake Burton, the suburbs just north of metropolitan Atlanta enjoy ease of access to the city’s booming economy. Here, Dan Jones of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers says residents relish in the benefits of the city, which include, “…business, cultural, educational, entertainment, shopping and professional sports opportunities, as well as access to many regional and national parks like the Chattahoochee River National Park and recreation areas, several lakes including Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus the North Georgia Mountains, where you can still pan for gold, visit almost a dozen Georgia wineries and hike the Appalachian Trail all the way to Maine."
Whether a quiet lake town is your ideal escape, or you prefer the lively lifestyle of Atlanta’s animated downtown, explore some of Georgia’s best real estate offerings among the estates to follow.
