Choose the life, then the house.

Start with the weekend you want, and the house gets easier to find. Here are five ways people live up in the hills and down on the Gulf, each with the homes for sale that suit it.

Up in the mountains

Porch mornings, long views, and a small town just down the road.

What brings people up the mountain

An angler casting on a misty river at dawn
A zip line rider over autumn treetops
A doe and fawn at the edge of a mountain meadow
A black bear walking along a mossy log in the forest
Apples heaped in bins at a roadside apple house

Tell Amanda which of these you want out the back door and she'll start with the right road. Scenes of the area, not photos of a home for sale.

On the lake

Lake Blue Ridge, Carters, Nottely and Chatuge, for a dock of your own or a short walk to the water.

What the lake gives you

Lake homes are listed with the rest of North Georgia. Tell Amanda which lake and she'll send you what's on its shore.

Down on the coast

Beach towns, condos and Gulf-front homes, some to live in and some that rent.

What brings people down to the Gulf

Clear Gulf water over white sand
Three brown pelicans flying low over the surf
A bottlenose dolphin surfacing in a calm back bay lined with docks
A surf fisherman below beach houses on stilts
A shrimp boat coming home at dawn

Tell Amanda how you'd spend the week and she'll tell you which stretch of sand fits it. Scenes of the area, not photos of a home for sale.
