Salacoa Highlands in southern Pickens County Georgia, is an eclectic neighborhood, likely to appeal to a wide variety of buyers looking for homes and land for sale in the North Georgia area
Situated on several hundred wooded acres in the Henderson Mountain area, Salacoa Highlands is a long-standing community which blends a mix of the old and the new; the simple and the more elaborate. Homes range from log cabins and small mountain weekend getaways, to large permanent homes with concrete siding, granite counters, hardwood floors, and other popular contemporary features. Many of these houses were built within the last 10-years, but some homes date back 20-years plus.
Lot sizes range from 1.5-acres to 10-acres or more, with natural features, including spectacular mountain views, old growth trees, interesting rock formations, creeks, springs, and even land with views of, or frontage on, the large spring-fed community lake. Salacoa Lake is an ideal spot for picnics, fishing, swimming, boating (non gas-powered boats only), and is open to use by residents only.
While there are deeded covenants and restrictions that provide some level of control over activities and structures within the subdivision (thereby protect the use and enjoyment of all, as well as helping preserve property values), these CCR's are not overly restrictive. There appears little desire to create a cookie-cutter development, with all homes and lots looking the same, or prevent personal creativity in home finishes, landscaping and use.
Homes for sale in Salacoa Highlands generally fall well under the $300,000 price point, with an average sale price that is below $200,000. (Of the four homes sales recorded in the 12-months prior to this writing, all four sales were priced under $200,000, but the previous year saw some sales above $200,000.) Lots for sale in Salacoa Highlands are also relatively well-priced when compared with other developed residential land available in Pickens County, often selling for as low as $10,000-$15,000 per acre. Even lots with lake frontage can sometimes be purchased for less tahn $100,000. . . considerably lower than lake front lots in other communities.
Annual association dues currently fall at less than $200 for a single lot, and with the lake serving as the only neighborhood "amenity" to speak of (no swim, tennis, golf, etc.), there are no additional "user" fees above the annual dues payed to the Salacoa Highlands Homeowner's Association (HOA).
The location of the development is relatively convenient, situated southwest of Jasper Georgia in southern Pickens County, fairly close to Cherokee County, Hwy 108 (Waleska Highway), and Hwy 515. However, as with many "mountain" communities, access roads can be winding and, in places, steep, slowing travel times somewhat. Main roads are generally paved, but some of the interior roads at higher elevations are still unpaved gravel / dirt roads. Likewise, some lots and homes are served by public water (mostly along Henderson Mt. Road), while those further in have, or will require, a well and septic tank (no public sewer available).
Overall, for anyone looking for something a little different, whether a second home in the mountains, a weekend cottage, an affordable home on acreage, or a laid-back community that allows for personal freedom in which to live, Salacoa Highlands in Jasper GA, presents such an opportunity.
