THANKFUL TO LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS We’re in the midst of the Fall Leaf Season here in Rabun, Habersham and White Counties, and what a beautiful time it is to get out and explore our area! The North Georgia Mountains are such a treasure, especially this time of the year. Hiking, camping, scenic mountain drives, and more are right in our backyard. I’m so thankful to have been born and raised here, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else! I’m also thankful to have such a wonderful association of REALTORS® that support our publication and make this resource available to you each month. If you’re interested in buying or selling, I would strongly suggestion you contact one of them. They are the area’s top real estate agents, and can assist you from start to finish. Their passion is to make your dream of living in the mountains come true! As we approach Thanksgiving Day 2023, take time to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for. Personally, I thank God for all His blessings and this beautiful area I get to call home. By finding your new home in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide, you’ll have one more thing to be thankful for, too! Luke Bateman Publisher

HEATHERSTONE AT FORD MOUNTAIN LAKES - DILLARD, GA. 115 DAM LAKE DRIVE. Could THIS be your personal Mountain Retreat? It features 7BR, 7BA plus lofts & bonus rooms on 5.75 acres with a waterfall and 2 ponds. For hikers and those who love to explore these mountains, it’s a short walk to the trailhead leading to Rabun Bald (the second tallest mountain in GA) surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest laced with trails, including the famous Bartram Trail. With Sky Valley Golf Course just down the road, the avid golfer will be delighted, especially with the cool temperatures that come with the 3100 feet elevation (this home is actually higher). There’s something to do in every season - snow tubing, zip lining, fishing, swimming and tennis, all within a few minutes of this property. But you really need not leave this property with its rare combination of extraordinary features. At the top of the list is the “walkabout” yard with two ponds fed by a cascading stream and waterfall. It is beautifully landscaped with native plants. With ponds and a fire pit and for the kids, being here will seem like living at summer camp, but with luxury accommodations. The main driveway is paved and leads to a drive-through porte-cochere and mahogany and wrought iron entrance door. Inside there are 2 fireplaces, one wood burner, and one with gas logs. The cabinetry is beautiful and extensive. The gathering spot in the kitchen is the large island that is built for “stand up” counter height.

NORTH GEORGIA’S STATE PARKS TO VISIT BLACK ROCK MOUNTAIN STATE PARK Georgia’s highest state park encompasses some of the most outstanding scenery in GA’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Roadside overlooks provide spectacular 80-mile vistas, and 4 hiking trails lead visitors past wildflowers, streams, small waterfalls and lush forests. Visitors enjoy the summit visitor center for its views, gift shop and picnic tables. The park’s small lake is popular with anglers and circled by an easy walking trail. At an altitude of 3,640 feet, Black Rock Mountain is often cooler than other GA parks and may close during icy weather.
TALLULAH GORGE STATE PARK
One of the most spectacular canyons in the eastern U.S., Tallulah Gorge is 2 miles long and nearly 1,000 ft deep. Take a hike on the rim trails to several overlooks, or obtain a permit to hike to the gorge floor. A suspension bridge sways 80 ft above the rocky bottom, providing spectacular views of the river and waterfalls. Tightrope walkers have twice crossed the gorge, and you can still see towers used by Karl Wallenda. A paved path follows an on old railroad bed, perfect for strollers and bicycles, or ride your mountain bike on a challenging 10-mile trail. Exhibits in the park’s Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center highlight the rich history of this Victorian resort town, Watch the award-winning film for a dramatic journey through the gorge, including footage of rock climbers and kayakers.
MOCCASIN CREEK STATE PARK
On the shores of beautiful Lake Burton sits Moccasin Creek, a park that prides itself on being “where spring spends the summer.” Despite its location, the park is relatively flat, offering easy access for large RVs, bicycles and wheelchairs. A fully accessible fishing pier sits above a trout-filled creek open only to physically challenged visitors, senior citizens and children. At 2,800-acres, Lake Burton is a prime spot for skiing, boating and fishing. Canoe and fishing boat rentals are available during warmer months. When you visit, take a tour of the adjacent trout rearing station. There are several nearby mountain hiking trails to explore, too or simply relax in this peaceful setting. The park’s central location offers a perfect jumping off spot for exploring area waterfalls, trails, shops and restaurants.
UNICOI STATE PARK AND LODGE
This beloved park is nestled in the North GA mountains just outside Helen. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking and mountain biking on scenic trails, including an easy lake loop, challenging trek to Anna Ruby Falls, 3-mile trail to downtown Helen or the rugged 7.5-mile single-track for bikers. The cool mountain lake offers a swimming beach and canoe rental during summer. Throughout the year, park staff host programs ranging from craft festivals and concerts, to animal programs and educational hikes. Overnight guests can choose from a hotel-style lodge, fully equipped cottages or modern campground. The park’s restaurant is known for its nightly mountain trout buffet, while craft lovers should not miss the lodge’s gift shop with pottery, quilts and other crafts. The lodge and beach house are popular spots for weddings, reunions, parties and conferences.
SMITHGALL WOODS STATE PARK
Smithgall Woods is an angler’s paradise. One of North GA’s premier trout streams, Dukes Creek, runs through this spectacular property and is a favorite for catch-and-release fishing. The number of anglers is limited and fishing is offered only on certain days, so anglers should call ahead for reservations. There’s also 5 miles of trails and 18 miles of roads for hikers and bicyclists to explore. The park is also an elegant mountain retreat, perfect for getaways, small weddings or outings with friends. 5 beautiful cottages provide a total of 14 bedrooms with private baths, phones, and TV. Some have porches along the stream, while others have private hot tubs. A 1-mile trail leads from the cottages to Dukes Creek Falls. Smithgall Woods was acquired by the state in 1994 as a gift-purchase from Charles A. Smithgall, Jr., a noted conservationist and businessman.
VOGEL STATE PARK
Georgia’s 2nd oldest state park is located at the base of Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The park includes Neel Gap, a beautiful mountain pass near Brasstown Bald, the highest point in GA. Vogel is particularly popular during the fall when the mountains transform into a blanket of colored leaves. Hikers can choose from several trails: the popular 4-mile Bear Hair Gap loop, the lake loop that leads to Trahlyta Falls, or the challenging 13-mile Coosa Backcountry Trail. The park’s 22-acre lake is open to non-motorized boats. During summer, visitors can cool off at the mountain-view beach. This park is rich in history, with many facilities being constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corp during our nation’s Great Depression.
