Established, Wooded Lakeside Community in Northern Georgia Boasts a Marina, RV Parking and Single Family Homes Snuggled in the Woods

Constructed on the shores of pretty Lake Nottely in rolling northern Georgia, Lakeside Village is six miles outside of Blairsville. It dates from the 1980s and 1990s and has a slight summer camp feeling about it.

The 100 single family homes are snuggled in the woods and range from just over 1,100 square feet to almost 3,000 square feet. The properties are single story and have two to three bedrooms with an attached one to two car garage. Lakefront views, large patios, and expansive lots are common. Some homes have a boat slip. Upgrades include granite countertops, glassed-in sunrooms, and tiled baths. All homes are on a septic system.

Prices start in the low- to mid-$200,000s. HOA fees are about $138 per month and cover common area maintenance as well as leaf and snow removal. Please verify these prices with a Realtor as they are bound to change.

The well-appointed clubhouse has a multipurpose room and a wood shop with professional-grade equipment. A sitting porch overlooks the lake. There are pickleball, bocce ball, and shuffleboard courts. A boat launch, two docks, a small marina, RV parking, and a swim platform round out community amenities. Neighbors meet for monthly potlucks, paint and wine parties or to walk and bike through the nearby woods.

Blairsville's annual events highlight local mountain culture, music, and crafts. Surrounded by the Chattahoochee National Forest, the town is minutes from the Amicalola Falls State Park where hiking trails range from easy to challenging. Visitors also have access to cottages, campgrounds, and a mountain-top lodge. The park's Maple Restaurant has a reputation for its sweeping views and excellent Sunday brunch.

Union General Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission.

Summer temperatures are in the 70s and 80s, and winter temperatures are in the 20s and 30s. On average, the area receives 55 inches of rain and four inches of snow each year.

Georgia:

Hernando de Soto of Spain traveled to this area in 1540, but the English had a stake here, too. A general, James Oglethorpe of England, created a haven for English debtors in the area in 1733, and he defeated Spanish invaders in 1742.

Georgia was a Confederate stronghold during the Civil War. It suffered tremendous damage when General Sherman of the Union Army burned Atlanta and then conducted his March to the Sea in 1864, resulting in the capture of Savannah.

The largest in the Southeast, Georgia has seen a lot of growth in the last couple of decades. Atlanta, the capital city, is a transportation center and communications hub, and it is from where goods are distributed to much of the surrounding region.

A leader in paper and board products, Georgia also produces textiles, processed chicken, chemicals and apparel. A few of the important agricultural products are soybeans, cotton, corn, tobacco, peaches and eggs. Georgia also grows more peanuts than any other state. Half of the world supply of turpentine and resins are made from Georgia's pine trees.

Wesleyan College in Macon was the first college in the world chartered to grant degrees to women, and in 1945 Georgia was the first state to lower the legal voting age from 21 to 18.

Major tourist spots include the National Cemetery, Andersonville Prison Park, Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, the Little White House where President Roosevelt died in 1945 (Warm Springs), the giant Confederate Memorial at Stone Mountain (the largest sculpture in the world), the Cumberland Island National Seashore and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park.

A New Start

Moving to a new place for retirement, whether it be a planned community in your current town or to an entirely new metropolis, it is the beginning of a new chapter and full of possibilities. It takes a certain amount of courage to leave what is familiar for the unknown, but the rewards are usually worth it. Most people who make the move are looking for the same things, including solid health care facilities, a comfortable climate (which may mean different things to different people), chances to become involved in the new community, access to cultural and recreational amenities and an opportunity to make new friends. While some people dread retirement, savvy people know it can be the beginning of something great!
