Move to Our State to Park and Recreate

When you think about the outdoor world of parks and recreation, the South is where we at LNH Realty think you need to be. As our motto states, “Turning Opportunities into Reality” can become your reality as soon as you cross the Georgia state line. Although Augusta does experience all four seasons, “relatively mild” is a good way to describe our beautiful Southern weather. And when it's mild outside, it’s going be a good day. We invite you to take a drive down to our town and plan to stay a while. The Augusta region is stock-full of sports fields, parks and large bodies of water brimming with your favorite catches. Whether you are a weekend warrior, a lazy-day stroller, a history buff or a happy camper, at _____ we want you to move to our state, park and recreate. Residents know all about our great outdoors. If you are thinking about moving to Augusta for your next place to call home, we welcome you to come and take a walk on the wild side. 

Yes, Augusta is known for its golf courses and that famous tournament called “The Masters,” but we have already dedicated two separate blogs to the game of the tiny white ball. But we offer so much more. Augusta is also known as a great place for disc golf and as the proud host of the “World’s Richest Dragboat Race.” Zoom. Zoom! If you are seriously considering Augusta as your future home, we want you to take a glimpse at the natural parks and recreation side that Augusta warmly offers.
