Great Sky

Canton, Cherokee County, Georgia

One of North Georgia's most scenically distinctive master-planned communities, Great Sky combines Blue Ridge Mountain views, direct access to a 411-acre reservoir, resort-style amenities, and an active, full-time lifestyle program — all just minutes north of Downtown Canton.

About Great Sky

History & Character — Great Sky was developed by Landeavor, LLC on a remarkable piece of North Georgia terrain in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, positioned along the edge of Hickory Log Creek Reservoir just north of Canton. The community was designed from the ground up around its natural assets — over 300 acres of protected green space, miles of reservoir shoreline, wooded ridgelines, and elevated home sites with mountain and water views that are uncommon at this price point in the Cherokee County market. When complete, Great Sky will consist of just over 2,000 households, making it one of the larger master-planned communities in the Canton area. Unlike single-builder subdivisions, Great Sky has attracted a curated group of established builders operating within the larger master plan — including Toll Brothers, David Weekley Homes, Venture Communities, Eastwood Homes, Fischer Homes, and Loren Construction — resulting in a range of architectural styles, floor plans, and price points within one connected community. The Crescent Pointe enclave within Great Sky, built by David Weekley Homes, adds an age-qualified (55+) active adult component with its own dedicated amenities and activities director.

Amenities — Great Sky delivers a resort-style amenity package centered on a recently renovated 5,000-square-foot clubhouse that serves as the social hub of the community. The aquatic complex features a triple-pool waterpark with a water slide — a genuine draw for families. Eight tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a basketball court, and a playground round out the active recreation options. A full-time Lifestyle Director manages a year-round calendar of events, classes, and community programming including fitness classes, walking groups, and seasonal activities that keep the neighborhood consistently engaged. Miles of walking and hiking trails weave through the community's preserved green space and connect residents to the reservoir shoreline, giving Great Sky an outdoor recreation offering that most Cherokee County communities simply cannot match.

The Reservoir — Hickory Log Creek Reservoir is the defining feature of Great Sky and the reason the community occupies a unique position in the North Metro Atlanta market. The reservoir covers approximately 411 acres with roughly 15 miles of protected shoreline, providing direct community access for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Many home sites within Great Sky offer direct water views or mountain views — in some cases both — creating a living experience more consistent with a mountain lake community than a traditional suburban subdivision. For buyers who have been looking at communities in the North Georgia mountains but need to stay within commuting distance of Atlanta, Great Sky fills a very specific gap in the market.
