The North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains comprised of Fannin, Gilmer, Union, Towns and Pickens Counties are abundant with wildlife, natural beauty, offering a relaxing lifestyle. You will find the people here are the salt of the earth, friendly neighbors who will bring you fresh vegetables from their garden. The North Georgia mountain towns will greet you at every turn with natural beauty. An easy trip from Atlanta or Chattanooga, North Georgia's real estate market has done well despite the economy because vacationers, second home buyers, retirees can get a great getaway place without breaking the budget. The mountains are refreshingly laid back and charming where residents name their cabins like Greenridge Hideaway or Arrowhead Lodge. My primary service areas by County/City in North Georgia including zip code are: - Fannin County - Blue Ridge 30513; Mineral Bluff 30559; Epworth 30541; Morganton 30560; McCaysville 30555,
Aska/Dial 30513
Fannin County is known for it’s beauty with mountain ridges, valley settlements, creeks, Lake Blue Ridge and the winding Toccoa River from one end of Fannin to the other flowing north into Tennessee which then becomes the Ocoee River. The average altitude is 1760 feet above sea level and Cowpen Ridge is higher than 4000 feet. Fannin County is the ideal setting for full-time living, raising a family, retirement or a weekend get-away. There is no rush hour here! Our mountains have called a variety of diverse people to our area starting with the Cherokee Indians who first inhabited the land. With Fannin County centrally located to Tennessee and North Carolina, visits to surrounding towns is very convenient. Atlanta is only ninety minutes away making it very easy for second home buyers who can come up on the weekends and escape the kaotic big city. - Union County - Blairsville 30512, 30514; Suches
Union County, the 88th county formed in Georgia, was created in 1832 from the Cherokee Indian territory. Union County was not named for its support of the North in the Civil War. The county received its name from a then emerging political party called the "Union Party" that was in existence 28 years before the Civil War started.
Georgia's highest point, Brasstown Bald at 4,784 feet, is in Union County. An observation platform offers a spectacular view of the surrounding Smoky Mountains. The area increasingly has become a recreational destination since the Tennessee Valley Authority created Nottely Lake on the Nottely River; and the development of Vogel State Park, a popular vacation facility.
- Towns County - Hiawassee 30546; Young Harris 30582
Towns County, the 117th county formed in Georgia, was created in 1856 from parts of Union and Rabun counties. It was named for George Washington Bonaparte Towns, who was governor of Georgia from 1847 to 1851. Lake Chatuge is located in the northern part Hiawassee and reaches into North Carolina. It is a storage facility for the Tennessee Valley Authority, and is also a public preserve. Lake Chatuge is located in the northern part of the county and reaches into North Carolina. Young Harris was originally named Young Harris College in honor of Judge Young Loftin Gerdine Harris of Athens. It was soon shortened to Young Harris, although there is still a Young Harris College located there.
Gilmer County - Ellijay 30536, 30540; East Ellijay 30539;
Talking Rock 30705
Gilmer County was created in 1832 from part of Cherokee County. Georgia's 84th county was named for George Rockingham Gilmer, a State Legislator, member of Congress, and Georgia Governor from 1829 to 1831 and from 1837 to 1839. Ellijay was the site of an Indian village and bears an Indian name meaning "earth green there." Cherokee Indians lived in this area until their removal in 1838 to Oklahoma via the "Trail of Tears." Nearly half the territory of Gilmer County is within the Chattahoochee National Forest and is protected from development by the Federal Government. Carters Lake provides a major recreational area in the county. Carters Lake is formed from the Coosawatee River, which is formed from the Cartecay and Ellijay Rivers. The rivers were formerly used for timber operations in the area. Gilmer County boasts to be the "Apple Capital of Georgia". Over 600,000 bushels of apples in 25 varieties are produced annually and sold at numerous roadside stands throughout the county. Some of the local festivals include the Georgia Apple Festival, the Cherry Log Festival, the Apple Classic Auto Show, and the Gilmer County Fair.
- Pickens County - Jasper 30143; Talking Rock 30175
Pickens County was created in 1853 from parts of Cherokee and Gilmer counties. Georgia's 100th county was named for General Andrew Pickens, a Revolutionary War soldier. Several special events take place in Pickens County. Two of the biggest festivals are held in October: the Marble Festival and Heritage Days Festival in Talking Rock.
One of the largest marble veins in the world is in Pickens County, running at least four miles long. It is a half-mile deep and almost that wide in places. Over 60 percent of the monuments in Washington, D.C. are made from Pickens County marble.
