SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO

Everyone knows there is so much to do in the Augusta area.  Let’s take a peek at some of the favorites:

AUGUSTA NATIONAL GOLF CLUB

Augusta National Golf Club, also known as the National, is a golf club located here. The course was designed by Jones and Alister MacKenzie and opened for play in 1932. Since 1934, Augusta National has hosted the  Masters Tournament. The Masters is one of the four major championships in professional golf, and the only major played each year at the same course.

Augusta National was the top-ranked course in Golf Digest’s 2009 list of America’s 100 greatest courses and was the number ten ranked course on Golfweek Magazine’s 2011 list of best classic courses in the USA.

FORKS AREA TRAIL SYSTEM

Forest Area Trail System, aka FATS, is fantastic for bikers and hikers. Why?  Because  “FATS” has 6 loops and 34 miles of trail.  It’s located just across the South Carolina border. On a side note, please visit the USDA Forest Service website for safety precautions and restrictions.   FATS passes through lands that are open to hunting in season

Hello, my name is Kimberly Aronoff Lahodny and I’m delighted to meet you. Growing up on the East Coast as a little girl I developed a deep passion for Residential Real Estate. I’m the daughter of a Property Lawyer and Developer and I spent Saturdays and Sundays walking historic waterfront properties and city rebuilds in Washington, DC and the Eastern Shore, properties my family was restoring and preserving. I LOVE incredible design, established character and contemporary restoration in classical architecture. And the thing is I believe EVERYONE should had have a slice of luxury. It’s one of the biggest purchases you’ll ever make, right? So you should adore your home. I moved to Northern California over 5 years ago after getting my BA from American University and my Masters at Pepperdine University. Immediately, I dug into the local history of the Sacramento area and the incredible outdoor life of Tahoe, Napa and Sonoma, Monterey and San Francisco. When my family and I relocated to Georgia I kept those same values. You are made to live close to creation even in your home. Big windows, wide open spaces, incredible outdoor activities for you and your family. Moving to the right property can do it all for you! I have relocated several times and I know first hand how stressful it can be to move. I’m here to assist you and make your life easier. Whether you’re selling your home in the Augusta area or moving here from out of state, I would be honored to make that dream come true.
