Looking for a place, the right place, a place you’ll enjoy calling home? Come to Lake Arrowhead, Georgia, where you can have it all. Nestled in the mountains of north Georgia and just outside the small town of Waleska, visitors will discover a lifestyle unmatched by other neighborhoods. A gated community offering round the clock security, Lake Arrowhead allows you to feel both safe and relaxed in the peaceful environment offered by this lush woodland setting.
However, before I continue, I want to emphasize that my only interest in providing this information is to make others aware of this well-kept secret. I am neither a Realtor® nor a builder, and receive no financial benefit from home or lot sales in this, my community. I am a former home builder and eight year resident of Lake Arrowhead, and while I previously lived less than thirty miles from its beauty, I was unfamiliar with its magical environment; and I’m sure there are others who have yet to discover this local treasure.
The neighborhood is a serene setting that can soothe the nerves of the busiest of lifestyles. But it’s not just a pristine environment that beckons. Georgia’s Lake Arrowhead offers amenities for the most demanding home buyer. Within its more than 8,000 acres, residents can enjoy the new 18 hole Championship golf course, complete with a 7,000 sq. ft. clubhouse including a gourmet restaurant and pro shop.
There’s also tennis, swimming, and the Great Festival Park, a 40 acre complex offering basketball, volleyball, and an eco garden, and which is also the location of one of the neighborhood’s two pools.
Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the hiking trails where you can relax in the quiet of the forest, listen to the splashing of one of the many brooks and streams, or catch an occasional glimpse of the abundant wildlife, including deer, water fowl, as well as native and migratory birds. Those who enjoy boating can explore the community’s 540 acre private lake with its 11 miles of shoreline, and which has been proclaimed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, “one of the cleanest lakes in the state.” Boaters can tie up at the one of the two marinas offering both slip rental as well as dry storage. And for those who don’t yet own a boat, daily rentals are offered as well as regular classes in sailing. Avid fishermen will find the lake abundantly stocked with a variety of native species.
But Lake Arrowhead is much more than its peaceful environment. Located less than an hour from Atlanta; it’s an easy drive to entertainment and fine dining. And it isn’t necessary to drive into the city to find dining, cultural events, museums, or higher education. All are located in the town of Waleska or the nearby city of Canton, only a short drive from the front gate.
Waleska, one of the most affluent small towns in Georgia, is the home of Reinhardt College, a 125 year old, four year, liberal arts institution, offering a wide range of educational opportunities. The town, established in 1899 derives its name from a local Indian princess. Additionally, the college includes The Falany Performing Arts Center, a 360 seat auditorium with an annual program of concerts, plays, comedy, and other performances. Also on campus, The Funk Heritage Center, Georgia’s Official Frontier and Southeastern Indian Interpretive Center includes a museum of the history of the Southeastern Native Americans, their artwork, and a reconstructed Appalachian settlement.
