Inside the gates, most ignored them. So now the message goes public: if you already live here, hold your board accountable — demand a Forensic Audit. If you’re thinking of buying, do your due diligence. The problems are real, the risks are measurable, and the market correction may already be underway.

With $15 million in debt, is it time for Property Owners to set aside their fear of “outsiders” and begin welcoming neighbors, friends, and an expanded community family — not just as guests, but as partners in opportunity?

A year later, folks across Georgia are still rebuilding while churches and volunteers fill the gaps. Inside the gate at Big Canoe, we chose clubhouses and golf before fixing our dam—and now the POA wants FEMA–GEMA to pick up the tab.
