Pickwick Lake - Pickwick Pines
Resort
Want a piece of Heaven early? I
got the place for you. Pickwick Pines Resort
is a new
enterprise founded in the late 2001 by David
McMeans.
The Resort
is located on Highway 350, just 2 Miles North of Highway 25.
The Resort is situated
on 160 acres atop Mississippi's Second Highest Point in
the State. See, I told you
that it is close to Heaven.
There is a
additional 340 acres
for future expansion. The Resort offers 7,500 Square Foot
resort, Swimming pools,
double-lighted tennis courts, nature trails, and so much
more.
The Pickwick
Lake resort also
provides a Boat, ATV and mini storage units for a minimal
fee to all the
homeowners.
Pickwick
Pines Resort opened a 14,000 SQ Ft Family Activities Center
in 2006 that features a
full-body workout gym, tanning beds, auditorium,
conference rooms and
more.
The whole
concept is to offer adults and retirees a more
relaxing enviroment with the
availability of planned activities for families,
children and the
grandkids.
The homes
range in size from 600 to 3,500 square feet, and I have been in
all the models. I can
promise you that they are built great and the layout of
each and every one is
perfect.
Golf carts
are used mostly inside the community so no loud cars running up and down the
street and each one has a view that you will die for.
While I was
visiting Lee Ann who is part of the sales team at
Pickwick Pines (what a
sweetheart), she escorted my Dad and and I around the
property and showed us
the different models; I would not have wanted anyone
else.

If you
are like me here in Memphis, I can not wait to
get away from all the high taxes. I will be leaving a $3,000 a
year tax bill behind for one around $350.00 a
year.
The
utilities are not bad either. I was shown a water bill and
this depends on how
much water you use, but still $10.00 to $15.00 a month
compared on what it
cost me at my present home is definitely a deal. It does not
take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.
Did I
mention you are only 10 minutes from putting the boat in the
water and going
fishing?
One thing
that you must know if fishing Pickwick Lake, the lake
borders three
states: Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.
Pickwick Pines can be a home or
a vacation get-away, but most of all it
is like I have said; it
is the closest thing to Heaven as you can get to
here on earth.
If you are
interested, contact the Resort and ask for Lee Ann to set up a
time to go
there next weekend to be showed around. See if I am not
right.
Tell her Steve told me about
this place and I just had to come check it
out.
