Located nearly equal distant from both Atlanta and Chattanooga, the Southern Highlands area of the South East covers the Appalachian or Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina.   The communities in these areas maintain a delicate balance between embracing the future while preserving their connection to their rich past.  Oprandi Realty is posed to help you sort thru North Georgia Real Estate in the following areas.  Jasper, GA home to some of the deepest marble deposits in the country (see the Lincoln Memorial and the NYSE for examples) has become a bedroom community for Atlanta and from those seeking to escape the rigors of Big City living.  Ellijay , GA  located just a few miles north of Jasper, boasts a history rich in Cherokee lore and a thriving second home market.   Blue Ridge , GA , has gone from a purely agricultural community to a thriving Arts Center with a large, hometown Arts Association and with the county nearly 50% National Forest Service, a popular hiking and camping destination.  Blairsville , GA , is home to the highest mountain in all of Georgia, Brasstown Bald at nearly 4,800 feet in elevation, and is also the location of North Georgia Technical College , a 5.5 million dollar under graduate facility.   

Water sports enthusiasts will appreciate all the different options available from boating on Carters’ Lake, located between Jasper and Ellijay, to white water rafting on the Toccoa/Ocoee River in Georgia and Tennessee .  Springer Mountain in Fannin County is the southern terminus for the Appalachian Trail and a popular destination with hiker’s world wide.  Check out the Richard Russell Scenic Highway in Union County for some breathtaking views as seen from the comfort of your automobile.
