We've owned and renovated 5 homes together. The Forest House, located near Athens, GA, was our 4th home/project. This slice of awesome started with a simple idea - we wanted a change of pace. We felt Florida couldn't give us exactly what we wanted (home, land size, price, climate, and community-wise), so we searched from Tennessee to the Carolinas and throughout Georgia. Then, in a whirlwind two weeks, our Palms House sold (in 2 days), Melissa flew up to Athens and put in a contract on the Forest house, and we started packing to relocate the entire family 7 hours north. The Forest house sits on 2 wooded acres, hence the moniker.
