The GSGA Women's Match Play Tournament came to a strong finish this week. Thank you to all members for endorsing this great event. Participants came from around the state to enjoy the beauty and challenge of the golf course.
Two OTF members, Lainey Panter (@laineypanter) and Erica Scutt (@ericascutt42) participated in this tournament, and while they didn't bring home any hardware, they sure did make OTF proud! These two young ladies are incredible athletes and we wish them well as they continue with their golfing careers!
The Hillside Cottages offer a truly unique experience and the first short-term stay units here at Old Toccoa Farm. 🏠
We are doing all we can to finish up the construction of the units and Cartwright Landscaping is beginning to transform the hillside into something quite special. It will not be long before furnishings start to arrive and shortly thereafter our first nightly guests. Vicki Decker, with New Blue Home and Gift, designed the interiors of each unit and we couldn’t be more pleased.
Each charming one-bedroom cottage will feature king-sized bedding, a comfortable lodge room, an efficient kitchen, stone patios, smokeless fire pits, and convenient access to our walking trails and The Tavern.
Each Cottage also has sweeping views of the 7th hole and the beautiful Toccoa River, offering the ultimate experience in privacy and comfort. Stay tuned for more news about our Hillside Cottages so you can be one of the first guests to reserve a stay with us.
Old Toccoa Farm recognizes David high as our outstanding employee of the month for August 2022. David who works as both Gate House attendant and part time night security and since joining OTF, David has raised the bar welcoming our members and arriving guests with a friendly smile and focused professionalism. In short, David has added tremendous value to this critical position and we are honored to celebrate him as employee of the month.
Bill Mull, Old Toccoa Farm’s Gate House and Security Manager, describes David as the perfect teammate. “David arrives at his post early (never late) and puts in a full day, representing the best interest of Old Toccoa Farm”.
David relocated to Mineral Bluff from Kentucky a year ago with his lovely wife. David served our country in the Marine Corps, and was a Presidential Bodyguard during the Nixon administration. David shared some interesting stories with his OTF colleagues, including times while married and not being able to divulge his location to his wife when he was with the President, for security reasons. David would tell his wife to watch the news to find out where the President was during the day or evening, this way she’d know where David was when not at home.
In his spare time, David likes to fly fish and the Blue Ridge area provides the perfect backdrop for his hobby. David’s advice to his teammates at OTF is to be grateful for the job they have here and the people they work for, and reminds them how important it is to be on time!, We are thrilled to have David on our team, and we want to thank him for a job well done. We appreciate you, David!
The foundation has been poured, the floor joists are going in and it won't be long before the roof is on and this new home is dried in.

It’s that exciting time again when Old Toccoa Farm has the privilege of choosing an Employee of the Month from amongst our awesome team!
For July, Matthew Roddenbery is the worthy recipient, and we want to extend our sincere congratulations to him!
Matthew works as Shift Leader/Lead Server and tends the bar here at our recently completed Tavern. The beautiful views, the friendly work environment, including those he works with, the wonderful
members and management are the reasons that he loves being a part of the OTF Team.
His proudest moment here was being chosen as July’s Employee of the Month. He fondly added a close second was the wedding for 200+ guests that was recently catered by the OTF Tavern and was perfect according to Matthew. He was an integral part of the team at that event which made it such a success, according to glowing feedback!
Matthew is described as a joy to work with and he’s demonstrated from the outset of his career here that his heart is committed to brand OTF, according to Addison, who also added that in the 30 days of the Tavern being open, he’s been a second pair of eyes to him and is assisting in leading the staff in a positive direction.
Matthew is a Lakeland, Florida transplant and as an alumnus of Florida State, he’s still a Noles fan. Since moving to the beautiful mountains of north Georgia in 2013, he’s worked in a variety of roles in the food service industry and brings a wealth of experience to our team.
In his spare time, Matthew likes golfing and trout fishing. He said that he used to deep-sea fish in Florida and added that he has quit fly fishing as that was a whole different story, which sounds like it would be an interesting tale to hear!
His advice to other OTF Team members is to work hard, be nice, and always find something to do. He added that, regardless of what one might think, there’s always something to do, even cleaning the windows. Matthew’s work ethic has certainly been recognized and appreciated here and we hope that you will join us in congratulating him.
Well done Matthew, we appreciate you!
Happy 4th of July everyone! 🇺🇸 We hope everyone has a great time with their families.
A new custom home by Beardslee Custom homes is nearly finished with framing.
Bob Beardslee, one of Old Toccoa Farm's Preferred Builders, will make this his personal home.
The build is coming along nicely with views of Rich Mountain and the green on hole #4.
Overlooking the 9th hole and positioned with spectacular views there is no question that members and guests will enjoy dining, socializing, and creating new memories at The Tavern for years to come.
This new custom home, designed by Solatect Design, and being constructed by Chad Muilenburg with Kasteel Custom Homes, is a beautiful blend of rustic and modern touches. Fronting the 13th hole with impressive mountain views of the Cohutta Wilderness, this gorgeous Appalachia-inspired design, will make a great addition to our community, along with its owners.
We are excited to see this home finishing up and our members moving in to enjoy OTF!
We have experienced so much growth this year, and we are excited to see so much progress on these new homes as well.
With six custom homes nearing completion, 10 new custom homes now under construction and 30+ new custom home designs in the architectural review process, this year is shaping up to be very productive.
Preferred Old Toccoa Farm builder, Chad Muilenburg with Kasteel Custom Homes, is progressing well with this custom home overlooking the 1st and 2nd hole and with sweeping views of the Cohutta Mountains.
Target move-in date is set for September. Looking forward to welcoming another resident to the community.
Happy National Yoga Day! 🧘♀️

Every home at Old Toccoa Farm is built with intentionality. Our builders are conscious of the elements of our property and take pride in crafting truly unique homes that highlight the nature around us.
Today is Father’s Day and Old Toccoa Farm would like to dedicate this post to all the wonderful fathers, and father figures, who have touched the lives of so many people. This picture is a great representation of the wonderful men who have been great fathers to their children, and others’ kids. They have been mentors and coaches to so many children. They are great men and great fathers. Our membership is filled with men just like them. Today we honor each and every one of our fathers. The oftentimes silent but impactful role you have played in the lives of others is recognized today and every day! Thank you for all that you do.
Some fathers may not be with us anymore, but their impact on our lives and their love for us will live on forever.
Happy Father’s Day gentlemen!#fathersday #oldtoccoafarm

Congratulations to our employee of the month, Ranna Sayre!
We are excited to honor Ranna for who she is as a person as well as a vital member of the OTF team. Ranna currently works in real estate and membership sales here at Old Toccoa Farm and is a licensed real estate agent with our in-house brokerage, Old Toccoa Farm Realty. While new to real estate sales, Ranna was highly effective in managing OTF’s digital marketing leads for the past year. Ranna’s efforts in managing our leads contributed to record real estate sales in 2021. Ranna moved from lead management to real estate in March of this year.
In the summer of 2021, Ranna and her partner, Russ DeSena, visited the Blue Ridge area for a brief vacation, and Russ DeSena connected with his long-time friend Peter Knutzen for dinner and drinks in downtown Blue Ridge. The conversation led to Old Toccoa Farm and how Russ and Ranna would love living in the mountains. What would they do for work? The next night, Peter introduced Russ to Pam and Doug Miracle and shortly thereafter Russ was offered a job with Escape to Blue Ridge. Ranna was offered a job at OTF and their move to Blue Ridge was etched in stone!
Ranna and Russ (and their lab Marley) enjoy the mountain life and their love for hiking will soon have them taking on a stretch of the Appalachian Trail. Ranna has two children, Abby and Adam. While she misses them dearly, she tries to get up north as much as possible to visit with them. Ranna is also going to be a grandmother soon! So she has so much to look forward to this year.
It’s clear that Ranna has what it takes to be an effective real estate agent and while starting off can be challenging, she has developed the skills and discipline, and work ethic that will make her successful for years to come. We are excited to have her on the sales team and we appreciate all that she does, month to month, to present and market Old Toccoa Farm.
Please congratulate Ranna on being our Employee of the Month.
"No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." -Calvin Coolidge
Each day, and especially this weekend, we honor all who gave the ultimate sacrifice and died in service to our awesome country.
Blue Skies are in the forecast for the weekend setting the stage for the perfect golf weekend! ⛳️ The "Double Green" on #14 and #16 is waiting for you!
The attention to detail and selection of building materials creates a true sense of place here at Old Toccoa Farm. 🏡 With views of links-style golf, distant mountains, and access to over 4,000 feet of the Toccoa River, Old Toccoa Farm is developing into a special place to live here in north Georgia.
The members are beginning to assemble at the new Golf Shop and some like to “stay a bit” and catch up on all things golf! Mr Belcher and Mr Hogan - enjoying some PGA on the tube from the comfortable chairs in the shop. #bbdgdesign
Enjoy the beauty of the river while golfing at Old Toccoa Farm ⛳️
Thank you to everyone who played in the MGA 4 Man, 2 Better Ball Tournament. The weather was beautiful and the lunch provided by the Tavern staff was great!
Congratulations to our first-place winners: Bob Kvietkus, Arthur Brown, Pete Conroy, and Jeff Lake!
More great people who “give back” to the community. Thank you for all you do. Fun evening!!
A great evening honoring our sponsors who have been so generous with their time and money to provide for The Open Arms Home for Children and Habitat for Humanity here in Fannin and Gilmer Counties. The lifeblood of our community is outreach and these are shining examples of “service to others”. Hats off to our new Tavern Staff for making the first night on the books a success. Addison and his team did an amazing job. So much to look forward to. Feeling blessed to have great members, friends and staff. So many to thank - BIG thanks to all tonight.
Some great OTF swag in the new Golf Shop, including some persimmon for “man’s best friend”. Sadie Girl wearing her new OTF collar!
Congratulations to our employee of the month, Don Grotefend!
He is currently on our Golf Maintenance staff as a tee and approach mower at Old Toccoa Farm.
Constantly improving the functionality and aesthetics of the property is what he enjoys best about his job. He’s willing to do anything and everything to keep things running smoothly. If he sees something that needs to be done, he’s ready to get his hands dirty and jumps in without question. Recently we needed help at the gatehouse/guard gate, and he did a fabulous job interacting with all the members and getting to know them. If the staff at the tavern needed help, he would be there in a heartbeat. Whatever we need to keep things running, he’s there.
When asked about his proudest moment on the job, Don said it was now, just being considered an employee of the month was an honor.
Don currently lives in Murphy, NC, but is originally from Lakeland, FL, making his favorite sports team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Growing up, Don was a talkative kid. He would walk around the neighborhood pulling weeds from the yards and accepting peanuts as payment. His favorite family activity is spending quality time outdoors. When not at OTF Don enjoys gardening, tap dancing, and playing his ukulele.
Don is a team player and would advise the rest of his team to “Slow down for quality work!”
Congratulations Don! Thank you for all that you do here at Old Toccoa Farm!
Our community is rooted in the time-honored traditions of friends and family gathering.
Thank you to our residents and members for building those memories here.
Happy Easter, He has Risen! ☀️
"He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." -Matthew 28:6
As the spring weather rolls in, check the forecast and schedule a day of golf here at Old Toccoa Farm.
