Located 90 miles north of Atlanta, Blue Ridge, Georgia, offers a respite from the big city. On the northwestern edge of a National Forest, the area is full of remarkable outdoor destinations. More specifically, serious fishermen will delight in a trip to the area. Because of the Toccoa River's unique properties, Blue Ridge is known as the trout fishing capital of Georgia. Lakewood Land Company offers excellent creek and stream front properties nearby.

Besides fishing, Blue Ridge is ideal for camping, horseback riding, and hiking. With over 530 miles of hike trails in the forest, the legendary Appalachian Trail begins here, as does the Benton MacKaye Trail. Whitewater rafting enthusiasts can enjoy the world-class rapids of the Ocoee River, which flows out of the crystal clear waters of Lake Blue Ridge.

If visitors are looking for new friends outside of the woods, Blue Ridge is a great destination. It boasts a vibrant local culture featuring specialty shops, restaurants, live music, a community theater, and two annual arts festivals.

Bargain-hunters searching for unique land and property investment opportunities may benefit from investigating foreclosed investments. A foreclosure generally occurs when the previous owners were unable to fulfill the requirements of their mortgage repayments. As a result of this, the land or property is surrendered, often to the bank that controls the mortgage. 

Real-estate owned properties (REO foreclosures) are the safest way to invest, as they come with the security of access to the property for inspection. You may choose to visit the property after getting informed about sale prices of comparable blocks of land or properties in the area. Be sure to ask about existing liens: this information can be obtained by conducting a title search on the property or block in question, or consulting with the real estate agency. You may submit a bid for a foreclosed property though the real estate agency, or you may choose to attend a foreclosure auction or event.
