A quiet neighborhood in the North Georgia mountains
The Village sits on wooded land beside a Georgia Audubon wildlife preserve, with nature trails along the creek, lighted streets for an evening walk and the first green-space conservation plan in Pickens County. Big Canoe and its golf, lakes and dining are a few minutes away, and access is available to residents.
In 2021 it was named the best 55+ community in metro Atlanta.
How every Village home is built
Bruce & Burkett have built hundreds of homes in these mountains. These standards come with every one.
Exteriors that don’t need you
James Hardie cement siding, composite trim and decking, Low-E windows, leaf-guarded gutters and a 30-year roof. Nothing to repaint or replace because of rot.
One floor, ten-foot ceilings
Hardwood floors, 8-foot doors, Wellborn cabinets, granite counters, tile baths with step-less showers and a full appliance package — all on the main level.
Porches you’ll use all year
Eze-Breeze window systems turn the screened porch into a weather-tight room in winter. Most homes add a covered grilling deck; a porch fireplace is optional.
Three minutes in the community
The streets, the cottages, the porches and the woods around them. The next best thing to a visit — and we’d rather give you the visit.
If you ever need more care, it’s already here
The Timbers on Blackwell Creek is the community’s own assisted living residence, now open: 62 units including memory care, staff on hand around the clock, three meals a day, and every space designed for easy access — a short walk from the cottages, not a move across the county.
