Local Living in Ball Ground, Georgia

Ball Ground offers a distinct mix of small-town character and North Georgia scenery. The city sits in Cherokee County at the northern edge of metro Atlanta, nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, with a historic Main Street, locally owned shops and restaurants, historic homes, and recreation opportunities

That setting calls for more than a generic home plan. A custom home in Ball Ground, nestled in rolling terrain and wooded portions of the lot, offers secluded privacy. 

A premium site, home orientation, and the opportunity to live near the mountains while remaining connected to the Atlanta region contribute to a dream lifestyle.
