By
Real Estate Agent with Charles Rutenberg Realty

St. Mary's Georgia Dream Home 

What gets a house junkie excited?  Beautifully decorated, finely crafted homes in beautiful surroundings...  Especially the ones you can win for FREE!

I'm counting down to January 1st to enter to win this years HGTV Dream Home Contest... Yes, you could win a free home.  I know it's crazy, but for the 3 people that haven't heard about this contest before, get excited NOW!

The HGTV Dream Home Giveaway is something that I look forward to every year... 

I love HGTV, I'd watch 24/7 if I could.  One of my favorite Dream Homes was the house in St. Mary's Georgia - pictured above.  I'm such an home enthusiast that I had my husband drive me up to look at the house.  It was gorgeous - I didn't want to leave! 

You can't register until January 1st, but you can take the tour of this years Victorian-style home in Sonoma, California.

Hi Debbie, I USED TO BE an Hgtv Junkie... then I got started on ActiveRain. LOL  I haven't taken the tour yet, but I entered every year. I can't even imagine what I would do if I really won! ? ! Thanks for the heads up- I might have missed it this year!

Debbie, I have to admit I would be one of the three that didn't know about this house.  I will have to put a reminder on my outlook.

These houses are so huge and monsterous, dont seem they fit in the area that they are built.  Owning a house so big is not as fun as it looks, lots of money to upkeep.

Hi Debbie:

I check the house out, it has ceilings and walls the same color. We do ceiling with a tinted down color of the walls. I like it with the same color. I been tired of whites for a while.

I hope you win!

Hello Debbie: Wow, I will have to sign up, if I win it I might have to retire and move there as it is just to gorgeous. Might be fun to know what the value is of this home, any guess?

I enjoy looking at these homes but could not afford to win. Can you imagine the taxes. Most people that win cannot keep the house as they cannot afford the taxes and upkeep

Debbie, I am always so excited about the HGTV Dream home.  The St Mary's home was my favorite too.  I think the new one for this year is in California?  I will have to go and check it out.   I love all the virtual tours, I always study every little detail.  Thanks for the link.

I caution anyone who buys in a neighborhood with an HGTV home do your research. We have property in some of the past communities and I am shocked what HGTV allows to go on.
