The North Georgia mountain region is the smart, affordable solution for second home buyers looking to quickly get away from it all. At just over a ninety minute expressway drive due north of Atlanta, we're the closest real mountains north of the big city, not to mention the retirement mecca of Florida. Nonetheless, the area remains unspoiled thanks to 42% of it belonging to National Forests, and the vistas here rival the best the US East Coast has to offer.

Northern Georgia has long been a "second home getaway" secret for many Georgia families. With the imminent growth of Atlanta's population and quick & easy access via I-575, the area's popularity will continue to soar as word of the region spreads. After a cheap flight to Atlanta and a short drive on the four-lane, you're ready to relax with the wildlife in the clean mountain air.

Ellijay, Georgia is a popular choice, blessed with an abundance of beautiful, trophy trout streams and a little less driving time to the Atlanta airport.

"Business is booming -- second vacation homes are going like hotcakes," says one Blue Ridge agent . "Some people are buying second homes here as an investment because the property values are so reasonable and the [price] appreciation has been fantastic," she noted. "People that don't have a whole lot to invest still come up here to look for something in the under-$200,000 range -- and they still get a lot of bang for their buck..." (source Atlanta Business Chronicle - Surge in second-home purchases continues).

Scores of folk from hurricane-weary FL and the concrete jungle of Hotlanta will continue to flock to the Northern Georgia's Appalachian Mtns seeking higher altitude relief and they need quality, short-term cabin rentals for their weekend retreats. Investing in a vacation rental home here is a sound investment that the entire family can enjoy, and there are many full-service, turnkey management companies that market, rent and maintain your rental property when you can't be here.

I was sent this as a release by a developer from up there who was asking us to promote his properties, it would appear there are some similarities possibly quotes from the same AJC article. If you can confirm that yours was the original content and not from the AJC then I will happily remove this and have conversation with the developer.
