Might want to learn how to spell Gilmer. Its not gilmore.
Tim thank you so much. You have been a great resource to my wife and I so far in our search for the right area and home.
Glad to help Peter!
Almost nobody farms in Ellijay anymore. Are there some farms...yes. But 90% of the population does not grow anything. More people have a few chickens than actually farm anything. That ship sailed over the last 20 years with the influx of immigrants from Atlanta. It is much more of a rental property location for those that come up to get away from the Big City and as a result Ellijay is now becoming just like the suburbs with strip malls popping up all over. It is also the area that has changed immensely and to get a sense of just how much change has occurred feel free to read the book "Deliverance". The book was a hillbilly horror and mentions a lot of Gilmer County areas and even the local poultry plant back when the offal was dumped into the river. The famous movie however was filmed elsewhere in the Rabun County area but the actual novel is about Gilmer County.
Quick tip about Ellijay. The corridor on the 76 between Ellijay and Blue Ridge (communities like White Path, Cherry Log, etc) is a GREAT area. You got Cohutta and Rich Mountain wilderness on each side, AND you got Ellijay and Blue Ridge both about 10 to 15 minutes away. It doubles the cool small towns you can get to within 15 minutes. As far as groceries, all the way up in White Path gets grocery DELIVERY from Kroger's in Jasper. Also fast internet through ETC. We feel like we have the best of rural beauty but without giving up any modern amenities.
Thanks for the additional info!
ty for the www tip. i was worried the internet was "dahlonga" speed :)
We got more than enough people
@@gdaddy443Amen!
I subscribed on the last video. I was looking at the Blue Ridge, Elijay, and surrounding areas there. However m, something popped up on my computer in a whole different state. Thanks for sharing information with us. God bless!
Thanks!
Back Porch has great sandwiches and super cool people. Cartecay Bike Shop is an equally awesome bike shop. Emily's is also great. Ellijay Wood Fired Pizza has great food but sometimes they're a bit grumpy. So many cool spots to eat.
Thanks for the recommendations Scott! Will need to check these out next time I’m in town
This is awesome! We're wanting to get a cabin outside of Ellijay. Have you been out to Andersen Creek Retreat? Oh yes would love the trout fishing spots.
Thanks! I’d love to help you find something in Ellijay. It’s a great town. Haven’t been to Anderson Creek Retreat but need to check it out!
Good Vid. Thanks! Any chance you're doing one on living in Hiawassee or Blairsville?
No plans at the moment. But I'd be happy to have a phone call to talk details!
I was just about to write here, "Brother, you look tired," ....and then you said, "I think I need a coffee." Great videos.
I was exceptionally tired that day!
Ellijay does not have a hospital it has an emergency room
Yes and they don’t take all insurances after the fact .
I like small towns
No hospital. Only ER
Thanks for the correction!
Just found your channel maybe you can do a market update for 2023-2024 stats thank you
Thanks for watching! I’ll add it to the list
Gilmer County not Gilmore ;-) cheers!
We’re heading up to Ellijay from N. Florida at the end of may, could we bike ride around Ellijay? We’re not really mountain bike riders! ❤️flat landers😊
I’ve heard the Cartecay River Loop is a good easy ride: www.alltrails.com/trail/us/georgia/cartecay-river-north-loop-trail
@@livinginnorthgeorgiawtimgi2664 just read about this trail, sounds promising for us, thanks 🙏🏻
Y'all might want to come here, but guarantee the locals don't want you here.
Same in Jasper. 🥲
Sure don’t.
I can relate to y'all not wanting people to move there! We Floridians don't want any more people here either! We're full - NO VACANCY!
That sucks
@@jjones4314Same thing was said 20 years ago. The migration never stops!
Can you recommend any builders for the coosawatee area? Also land graders?
I sure can. Give me a call at 404-643-6610 and I’ll get those referrals to you
@@livinginnorthgeorgiawtimgi2664 Great tysm
No Hospitals !!
Gilmer Co not Gilmore Co
Where do we go for trout fishing?
Here’s a great resource for trout fishing spots: www.georgiawildtrout.com/post/north-georgia-trout-fishing-guide-to-wild-and-stocked-trout-streams
Any stream up in mountains
Gilmer county!
We caught the typo too late to edit before posting!
Aren't builders charging over $300 per sq. ft. and not doing anything less than 2500 sq ft.?
I haven't heard of a price per sq. ft cost that high for new builds with the exception of fully custom homes
@@livinginnorthgeorgiawtimgi2664 I've checked a few builders and they won't do less than 3k square feet. I'm sure they will when they have no business.
@@JamesG1126 That's steep. Are you planning on building a custom home?
Hello. Do you find a lot of people in this area that have relocated from Chicago?
I’ve met a few people who have moved down from Chicago!
Leave your Democrat voting ways behind. That's not welcome here or anywhere else in Georgia
Ive been traveling around by RV fixing dwmh foreclosures every 2-3 years up and down the southern seaboard and was looking next at hurricane Ian homes on ag-5 or ag-10 still in disrepair (FL) but its awful hot/humid there. I'm ready to keep the next buy for myself if it's got enough dirt and privacy because i ended up with a big dog and ...im tired (it is nice finally having a buddy tho!). Seems like a lot of H.O.A. McMansions up there (gross). I was hoping I could fix up a cabin that doesn't have 5 neighbors out your window somewhere as beautiful as n GA to rent out during the months i'll be out touring the lower 48 oldman with dog style. I used to competively cycle and still ride but can't find a goldilocks zone up there between trac homes and those weird permanent RVs on micro plots. I need to spend some time up there and see how bad the market bottoms come winter when the reality of the economy has dawned on more of us and Blackrock is still distracted from buying up the USA with weapon sales and robot mercenary leasing. A man can dream. Blessings in tough times. Can up those apples - gonna need 'em
Where are you now?

GILMER county...just sayin'...!
Did I pronounce it wrong? I can’t remember! I shot this video in a hurry
@@livinginnorthgeorgiawtimgi2664 I expect the comment was referring to Gilmer being the opiod overdose caiptol of GA, sadly. Have a freind who lost two grandchildren to that in Gilmer county.
Don't move to N GA. Keep N GA green. Buy used; do not build. We are experiencing a housing crisis in N GA due to number of outsiders buying multiple 2nd, 3rd, 4th homes and putting them on market as short term vacation rentals. We have a rolling AirBnb traffic jam and (what i call) AirBnb parade of renters coming/ going en masse.
No one considers the pollution/ impact on wildlife this suburban exodus had created: No starry night skies, no gentle fresh breeze carrying birdsong, little wildlife, dead plantlife. Instead: bright exterior lights all night from vacation homes at night. Constant construction noise and traffic. People riding 4x4s and dirt bikes. Loud parties. Inebriated people fighting, getting lost, and doing other stupid selfish things. And their dogs never stop barking.
Ellijay is not a fun place to live. I have lived here 20 years in the resort and it is terribly boring.
Yep tell them stay away
@gdaddy443 haha I agree! We're already overcrowded!
Scene of mountain biking. Embarrassing those were definitely not mountain bikers.
Good catch 😂
Please stop.. so many are moving in we locals can't even move. It's getting out of hand.
We feel the same way here in chatsworth about everyone from ellijay moving here… hhmmm imagine that..
People can live where they want. It's called America. Get used to it. On the other hand, I'm sure the Native Americans would love for you to move out.
@@robertfousch2703damn sure don’t need your type in our mountains
@@deepsouthoutdoors5737Why would anyone want to live in Chatsworth?
@@robertfousch2703And people can voice their opinion too.
We don’t need more people. Too many now
