“This combination is uncommon and
makes Big Canoe an ideal environment
to raise a family, vacation or retire. We
provide the sense of well-being and
security that many Atlanta residents are
after by being a private, gated community”
Within its gates, Big Canoe offers over
20 miles of hiking trails, three waterfalls,
three lakes, 2,600-plus families, 50-plus
community clubs, 27 holes of golf and
more. Resort-style amenities include a
fitness center/spa, clubhouse, marina with
electric boating and fishing, swim club,
racquet club with tennis and pickleball
courts, bocce ball, hiking and biking trails
and golf. It has its own postal facility, trash/
recycling center, water company, fire and
rescue station, chapel and animal rescue.
“We’re also close to top area
attractions in Blue Ridge, Dawsonville and
Dahlonega,” said Wercholuk. “All of the
charm of the north Georgia mountains are
right at your fingertips when you live in Big
Canoe.”
City dwellers are looking for fresh air,
peace and quiet, and gorgeous mountain
views, and Big Canoe has all that and more.
Residents can choose to own a million-

views of the Atlanta skyline or a Southern
Living inspired cottage with views of the
golf course. There are many options, and
that’s one of the best parts of living there.

towards dining at Sconti Clubhouse, a

diverse group of neighborhoods.

Wercholuk reported. “With our unique

hiking/biking trails, three outdoor
dog parks, three waterfalls, three lakes

less time spent driving to a mountain
retreat and more time spent breathing the
clean mountain air, teeing off, casting a

book and sharing moments worth
remembering with the ones who matter
most.”

Canoe, a vibrant, year-round community,
