Fabulous Fall Amenities at Heron Bay
The beginning of September is upon us, and with that comes a change in the season. The fall weather is, generally speaking, much cooler than our hot summer months, meaning it is a perfect opportunity to spend some quality time outdoors. Not only is the weather more enjoyable, but the trees change colors and different flowers bloom, resulting in beautiful natural vegetation. It’s during this season that many community amenities become obsolete, for example the swimming pool, but if you live in a master-planned development like Heron Bay Golf & Country Club, the best aspects of the amenity package are most enjoyable during the approaching season.
Let’s start with one of the most popular Heron Bay amenities - the 18-hole Cannongate golf course. Heron Bay’s golf course opened in October of 2004 and was designed by architect Jeff Burton. The course features state-of-the-art Tif Sport Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens. (Continued…)

Extraordinary Custom Home in Henry County
Heron Bay Golf & Country Club is well know for its family-friendly amenities and the unique lifestyle that it offers homeowners. What you may not know about Heron Bay is that it is full of luxurious custom homes priced from the $500,000s to over $1 million. This particular luxurious home is located in the Lakeview neighborhood at Heron Bay. As you can see the new custom home in Locust Grove is situated on a generous sized lot, half an acre, and has beautiful views of the lake and Cannongate golf course. While the exterior and homesite are impressive enough, I think we should take a closer look inside to get the true sense of luxurious living.
This particular home has five bedrooms with six and one-half baths, and is priced at $849,900. You’ll find the oversized owner’s suite on the main level. The owner’s suite is equipped with a separate sitting area, fireplace and many windows allowing for natural light and beautiful views. The fireplace in the owner’s suite is double sided so it extends into the luxurious spa bath. Along with the fireplace, the owner’s bath is adorned with custom tile workings, a relaxing jetted garden tub and an oversized shower with frameless glass doors. (Continued…)
