T HE SECOND HOME, once just a dream for so many, is now within the realistic grasp of an ever-increasing number of Americans. Are

you a dreamer … or a doer?

Due to a convergence of factors, the timing has never been better to make that second home a reality. Simply put, housing prices remain affordable, housing selection is plentiful and interests rates are at historic lows. It’s been more than 30 years since there was such a perfect storm of buying opportunity. Now is the time to lock in that future retirement home at today’s prices … and enjoy it right away.

BIG CANOE, located in the undulating foothills of the North Georgia Appalachians just an hour from Atlanta, is a gorgeous gated community filled with lush homes that meld into a forested canopy. With its abundance of amenities and active lifestyle, Big Canoe is a vibrant, year-round community, with roughly 60 percent full-time residents. But Big Canoe has long been a popular destination for second homes because it fulfills one of the most important issues:Location.

Experts agree that buying a second home within an accessible distance of your primary residence is crucial. A Polynesian paradise might strike a romantic chord, but having a place you’ll actually use is far more valuable. Big Canoe is within easy driving distance of Atlanta International Airport, one of the biggest hubs in the world. And while the community is close to a major city, one whiff of the fresh mountain air, a stroll on its 22 miles of hiking trails

or a gaze over one of the lakes makes it feel like you’re a million miles away.

BABY BOOMERS are far and away the biggest market of second-home owners. Studies have shown that their top priorities for buying are:• Establishing a family retreat. • Eventually turning it into their primary residence for retirement and family fun.

The baby boom generation — its senior members now reaching retirement age — is certainly not bound for the rocking chair. Among boomers’ predominant goals is maintaining a vigorous, healthy lifestyle. You can hardly do better on that count than Big Canoe. The community features a 27-hole championship golf course with mountain peaks as a backdrop. The 16,000-square-foot fitness center is state of the art. Add in the swim club, hiking trails, tennis center, fishing and boating, and Big Canoe presents enough recreational options to satisfy anyone. And that goes for kids and grandkids too. Enhancing the flexibility of the second-home lifestyle, Big Canoe residents can use amenities on either an a la carte basis or pay on an annual fee basis.

Adding to the fun, Big Canoe offers a myriad of social opportunities, including dinners at the Clubhouse at Lake Sconti overlooking the 9th fairway of the Creek Course, as well as several other fine restaurants nearby. The community also features 50-plus vibrant, established clubs — from mah jongg to men’s pool shooters — as well as charitable organizations. In all, it’s easy to make new friends and associates at Big Canoe.

And easy to find quality medical care. The community is 15 minutes away from Piedmont Mountainside Hospital and 30 minutes from Northside Hospital.

WHETHER YOU USE a second home as a regular weekend retreat or as a vacation spot/rental property, one thing is for sure: you do not want to worry about it when you’re away. To that end, Big Canoe features a round-the-clock security force. The Big Canoe Property Owners Association and the still-active developer, Big Canoe Company, have worked jointly for over 23 years. Big Canoe Company, which has zero debt, is a robust developer, making certain that the community stays current, fresh and viable.

Big Canoe Company is actively building new neighborhoods within the community’s expansive 8,000-plus acres. Combined with existing neighborhoods, Big Canoe offers homes in a wide range of price points, from $300,000 to more than $3-million.

People throughout the country are increasingly aware of the benefits of owning a second home. As more and more become doers and not just dreamers, this perfect convergence of buying opportunity is certain to ebb. Housing stock will tighten, prices will go up, interests rates will rise — it’s inevitable.

Now’s the time to make that second home a reality.

Ocala has an exquisite variety of equestrian estates, small ranches, and magnificent equestrian farms. The rolling terrain, indescribable views and wonderful year-round climate make

Marion County the perfect location to call home. Located in central Florida, the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are only an hour away. There are a wide variety of outdoor activities at the residents’ fingertips, although equine sports—such as polo, jumping, mounted shooting, dressage, breeding, raising, racing thoroughbreds, carriage driving, cross country events, and various other competitions—tend to fuel the passions of many Ocala residents.

Yet for one Ocala resident, real estate is her passion. “It’s about my customers—buyers and sellers—their needs, their interests, their desires and what’s best for their families, or in the case of equine properties, what’s also best for their horses,” says Joan Pletcher, a Realtor since 1973. Ocala has a wide variety of equestrian properties to fulfill even the most discriminating buyer. A few examples follow.

Padua, a thoroughbred horse farm and breeding center, a $35 million compound situated on 769 spectacular acres with a three-fourths-of-a-mile dirt track; one-mile turf track; 202 stalls; owner’s residence; pool, spa; boat dock with lift; guest residence; manager’s residence; 13 residences for staff; dormitory; executive offices. You even have greenhouses for raising your own organic produce or annuals.

Rabbit Hill at Town Country Farm is the ultimate French Provincial Estate with state-of-the-art equine facilities. The professionally sculpted and architecturally designed main residence sits on 150 private acres of Marion County’s highest elevations, while the exquisite equine facilities are located on 172 acres and include: 3 barns – 44 stalls, beautiful office, covered walker, aqua treadmill and lush green paddocks. Exquisite residences for guests and farm manager.

Longwood Farm is a 120-acre beautifully landscaped and manicured facility for the horses of your choice from the extensive eventing course

with exquisite show stables, lighted arena and 2 dressage areas to the custom designed private Ralph Lauren residence plus guest house and hidden cottage.

Second Wind Farm is the perfect location for the person looking for a small but elegant estate close to all the amenities of town. The 40 acre spectacular property features a fully furnished main residence which overlooks the green rolling paddocks. The discerning barn with office, carriage room, workshop and guest suite will have you falling in love with Ocala.

Along with having every type of equine discipline represented, Ocala offers a great downtown area with superb restaurants and stores for one’s dining and shopping pleasures. As a cosmopolitan area, numerous social events and benefits are held throughout the year, which give residents the chance to wear everything from jeans to formal attire. “Residents of Marion County have discovered a wonderful treasure,” Pletcher says. “Our community enjoys a desirable standard of living at an affordable price. Visitors to Ocala, say ‘This is not Florida! It’s different with the Live Oak trees and the Spanish moss. It’s so beautiful here.’”

Carrier Hall

MeMphis, TennesseeCarrier Hall, with its attention to detail, excellent craftsmanship, and integration of landscape and architectural planning, is one of the finest

examples in the country and the only one in Memphis of the Jacobean Revival style. The home was constructed from 1923 to 1926 for Mr. and Mrs. Robert M. Carrier by designer Bryant Fleming, professor of landscape architecture at Cornell University, and architect John W. Johnson, who later established S. R. Johnson Lumber Company in Memphis. Much of the 9,000 square foot Carrier home’s fabric was salvaged from seventeenth and eighteenth century English buildings.

The authenticity of design and adherence to Jacobean and Elizabethan forms evident on the exterior is painstakingly reproduced in the house’s interior. Marble flooring and elaborately carved oak paneling brought from European houses and abbeys are found in all first floor rooms. The niche in the sunken living room is believed to be the work of world famous seventeenth century master stone and wood carver, Grinling Gibbons. His craftsmanship can be seen in Windsor Castle, Saint Paul’s Cathedral, Hampton Court Palace and numerous churches in London. Numerous windows in several rooms contain seventeenth century oval and rectangular glass panels painted with ships or town scenes, two indicated as being Aire and Aberdeen. Windows dating back 500 years are located in the southeast corner of the 1,600 square foot ballroom.

The master bedroom suite offers his and her baths, separate closets, dressing area, 14' x 14' study, and fireplace. There are four additional bedrooms, two with private baths, two with ensuite bath. The gourmet kitchen features all Viking appliances. An abundance of storage is available in the basement, which spans the entire length of the house, and includes exercise room and wine cellar with cataloged shelving. On the 1.3 acre grounds, there is a separate guest house, teahouse, and double garage. All major systems have been completely updated following a comprehensive renovation and restoration of the property. Carrier Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is offered for $1,450,000.
