Blairsville, GA - Country Living


A few years ago, my sister and brother-in-law moved into their retirement dream home which they built in Union County, GA just outside Blairsville. It is a small community with only 652 residents (as of the 2010 census) in town — Union County itself only has 21,566 residents or maybe two more now. When you live in northern Georgia, your residence can be accessed by a gravel road passing through a wooded area. There are only three homes on this road so they enjoy a measure of privacy which we city-dwellers cannot even imagine. My first night here, I could not sleep because it was so quiet that I was kept awake by a tick, tick, tick. I discovered that the noise was coming from a clock in my bedroom — I removed the battery and then it was totally silent and I fell asleep almost instantly.
