Gary’s Mountain Journey

Thirty-two years ago, Gary Ward, Realtor at Advantage Chatuge Realty, and his wife of 35 years, Susan, followed their love for nature to the North Georgia Mountains, seeking  GA mountain Real Estate with a life rooted in open spaces and tranquility. For example, they spent 8 years in Blue Ridge before they claimed their  NC mountain property, when they purchased a Hayesville, NC farm to raise their two sons amid a small flock of sheep and rows of culinary mushrooms. Today, with their sons grown, Gary delights in sharing the joys of farm life with his two granddaughters, nurturing their curiosity about the land he cherishes. Therefore, the couple’s deep connection to nature and family has shaped Gary and his wife’s outlook, filling them with an appreciation for the mountains that goes beyond their scenic beauty—it’s about the memories they hold and the life they sustain.
