The house overlooks at least 6 fairways of the 18 hole golf course, with short and long distance year around views of the surrounding mountain ranges, with a myriad of colors ever changing as the four seasons dictate. The easterly facing deck provides incredible sunrise views, while being shaded from the afternoon sun.

The overall weather in Franklin is ideal. At just over 2000' elevation, snow is rarely a problem (once or twice a year, rarely over an inch, and usually melted by noon the next day!) The summers are mild, with cool mountain breezes. Franklin is close to Harrah's Gambling Casino in Cherokee, the Smoky Mountain National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, numerous falls, gem mines, shopping & great restaurants!  The Georgia State Line is about 25 miles south and Atlanta is only 2 hours away.  And, an hour and a half in the other direction will take you to Asheville, for more great shopping and other cultural experiences.  Whether you’re looking for a summer getaway, or a year round home, this home has it all.  For a virtual tour, go to http://tinyurl.com/253EmeraldHillFranklinNC
