Cascading waterfalls, apple orchards and the most affordable mountain towns in the South. Ask anyone who’s spent time in the North Georgia Mountains and they’ll likely agree, this is one of the most beautiful places to live in the state of Georgia. The air is clean and the evergreen forest exhilarating. It’s a place of comfort and wellbeing surrounded by scenic beauty.
