Currahee Club Ranked Among The Country's Elite On the heels of its national Golfweek ranking as one of the "Top 100 Residential Golf Courses," Currahee Club has now been selected as one of America's 100 Premier Properties by the editors of LINKS Magazine and named a "Best of the Mountains" community by Mountain Homes Magazine-receiving a top ranking in the publication's "Best Lake Living" category. Situated in northeast Georgia amidst the Blue Ridge Mountains and Lake Hartwell, the spectacular 1,200-acre community was chosen for the quality of its Jim Fazio-designed, 7,513-yard golf course, desirable waterfront location and premier amenities. A testament to its focus on providing members with notable amenities, Currahee Club recently unveiled the social hub of the community-the unparalleled golf clubhouse. This 48,000-square foot masterpiece exudes a rustic yet luxurious ambience. Antiques and hand-made items abound, including a Cherokee spirit table, authentic Irish pub bar and intricately sculpted chandeliers. A casual dining room boasts coffered ceilings, warm oak wainscoting and antique seeded glass, while two private dining areas provide an opportunity for a one-of-a-kind gourmet experience. French doors beckon visitors onto the 3,000-square foot veranda, which is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine and marvel at the panoramic views of Lake Hartwell and the 1st hole from the pinnacled vantage point. The golf clubhouse also will feature a state-of-the-art spa, including massage rooms, steam showers, workout facilities and more. "We appreciate our LINKS Magazine and Mountain Homes recognition, and believe that the center of our community-the golf clubhouse-is an achievement that solidifies our position among elite properties," said Chris Whitley-partner, Currahee Club. "We are bringing to life our vision of a family-focused retreat with outstanding amenities and unrivaled service," he continued. Soon, Currahee Club will welcome a recreation center, swimming pool, tennis club, children's playground and the Currahee Trading Company-a general store with an old-time feel.

Homeowners report that if we take the time and initiative to be selective about choices in the building materials, fixtures, and decor, we will live with the knowledge that we did the responsible thing, right from the beginning. As a home building guideline, take a look at these ideas: The walls: Ask for concrete, not wood. Builders are highly supportive of using the Nudura building system, consisting of stay-in-place, interlocking concrete units. With this Lego-like method (of reinforced concrete sandwiched between two layers of expanded polystyrene foam insulation) the total building envelope stands to be up to nine times stronger, far more fire resistant, and far more sound insulated. Better still, it's a building method that will deliver energy savings of up to 70 percent. This Nudura innovation (nudura.com) is design-friendly for architects, much faster for builders, creates less construction waste, and provides defense against toxicity and mould that is so often a associated with traditional wood framed walls. Indoor Water Conservation: Ask about grey water irrigation and rainwater harvesting. Energy Efficiency: In addition to the concrete walls, some of the more popular choices for conservation include: an 'earth sheltered' architectural design; installing efficient ducts, lighting and fans; planning for gas or solar hot water, heating and cooling systems. Materials: Structural choices range from fume-free paints, finishes and adhesives, to sustainable floor coverings, sidings and trim. Solid Waste Disposal: Plan ahead and design your home for permanent composting, recycling, and waste control.
