Why NOW is a great time to buy Blue Ridge, GA Real Estate

Blue Ridge, GA is a very popular vacation destination located in the North Georgia mountains.

This quaint mountain town offers a pretty, historic downtown area with loads of shops and local restaurants, numerous outdoor activities, a scenic railway and luxury log cabin rentals with great mountain views for a very reasonable price.

These draws along with its location, just 90 miles north of Atlanta, provide a constant flow of area visitors and cabin rental guests making the purchase of a turn-key vacation rental / investment property in the area a smart real estate investment choice.

One thing that is certain about the North Georgia mountains, because of it’s natural beauty, people are always going to have an interest in purchasing real estate in the region.

Though, like the rest of the country, our local real estate market has recently experienced an economic downturn, local experts know that the moment things turn around, the property prices in this area are certain to rebound.

But, what really makes Blue Ridge investment property such a good investment at this time is the fact that a buyer can currently find quality properties in this beautiful mountain region priced well below market value.

For buyers with an experienced agent by their side, an agent who is fully tapped into the local investment property / rental market, you can find successful Blue Ridge investment properties at amazing prices.

Whether you use choose to use the property as a vacation rental investment property or keep it for you own personal mountain get-away, when the market rebounds, you are placing yourself in a position to realize valuable gains.

Owning a piece of property in this little piece of “paradise” is a desire that many people have and I would like to help you take advantage of that wish at a time when low property values combined with low interest rates are allowing more people than ever to “live the dream”.

We no longer own First Class Cabin Rentals

As we are still getting questions about the recent changes in our lives I am writing an open letter to all of the friends and customers who have so graciously supported us, and our business, over the last 7 years.


We thought that by now everyone would have heard (or we would have had the opportunity to speak with you personally) about the fact that we have sold our vacation cabin rental business here in Blue Ridge.

After 7 years, and with Dan's mom being in ill health, we made the decision as a family that we needed to set the goal of moving closer to family (TX & KS) as soon as possible. So, we sold our business in July.

Because we also have a commercial building to sell (East First Street - where our home and office were co-located) we knew that it would not be an immediate move so Dan took a job in Atlanta in the interim and I went back to selling real estate fulltime.

Unfortunately Dan's mom passed away in October so, while our goal remains to move toward getting closer to family, the originally urgency we felt is no longer there so we will likely be in Blue Ridge for the foreseeable future.

We would like to thank our customers for their business and hope that your loyalty to First Class Cabin Rentals will continue, our homeowners and staff members who have worked as our partners for the last 7 years and other local business owners who have supported us and our company through guest and homeowner referrals!

Warmest regards,

Dan, Gayle and Nicholas Barton
