The Oaks at Yellow Creek is one of several neighborhoods in Pickens County to have suffered the effects of the real estate slow down, with slow home and lot sales over the past couple years, despite a good location in southeast Pickens county GA. Development has been relatively slow, with only nine homes completed in the neighborhood, several of which have already fallen victim to bank repossession through foreclosure actions.
Close to Big Canoe in the Marblehill areaand less than a mile from the Cherokee County line, The Oaks at Yellow Creek affords convenient access to Cumming, Ball Ground, and Dawsonville, at a reasonable price point. With only nine or so existing houses, resale homes for sale in the The Oaks at Yellow Creek don't come up too often, but the recent foreclosure activity has made a couple of homes available at very reasonable prices . . . well below list prices in the $300's of prior years. These bank owned (REO) homes can be purchased starting at around $200,000 and up, making for some pretty good deals!
Lots for sale in The Oaks at Yellow Creak are all estate size, 3-acres or more and nicely wooded, offering privacy and, in some instances, pleasant mountain views. Public water and sewer are not available, so a well and septic tank have to be considered as part of the cost and building process, but other utilities are run underground and readily available. The community has no amenities, or HOA dues at this time.
Existing homes are similar in style and finishes to those found in other like neighborhoods in the Jasper GA area (Wild Timber, Jordan's Crossing, Dogwood Trace, etc), with gabled roof lines, stone-accented concrete siding exterior, hardwood floors, granite counters, etc. One difference is that the larger lot sizes and lessened stage of development affords a greater element of privacy than is often found in similar neighborhoods.
With the Foothills shopping center just a short distance up Yellow Creek Road, the North Georgia Premium Outlet Malland the new Target store and shopping center in Canton just 30-minutes away, and Cumming not much farther, shopping is readily accessible. The growth of high-end neighborhoods like Big Canoe, Crystal Falls, Woodhaven Bend, the new Tate Reserve, and proposed Potts Mountain @ Big Canoe, all in the surrounding proximity, make the general area -- in my opinion -- likely to see further growth and development in years to come.
