THE COMMUNITY OF BIG CANOE
Big Canoe has a rich history dating back thousands of years when these enchanted lands were inhabited by Native Americans and archeological evidence of their presence remains in the community today. Fast forward to the turn of the century and the Tate family began amassing large tracts of land in the vicinity of their marble quarry that supplied Georgia Marble for many of the national monuments in Washington D.C. Then in the 1960’s the Tate family heirs decided they would sell “The Wolfscratch Land”, approximately 8,000 acres to Tom Cousins of Atlanta; he and Charles Frasier of The Sea Pines Company partnered to develop the land in a manner that was respectful to its heritage and preserved its natural beauty. Their original vision persists today.
The community is now 40+ years old, but remains current with extraordinary continual investment in amenities and infrastructure. The original developers are no longer in the picture, however, the Big Canoe Co., LLC is still a development entity and has a single representative on the Big Canoe POA Board of Directors. The community continues to grow, with approx. 2,700 homes and another 2,000 planned. The Big Canoe Property Owners Association (“POA”), is much more than a conventional home owner’s association. The POA owns all of the amenities and runs all day to day functions of the community from The Clubhouse to Fire Department, Golf, Tennis and Swim to Public Works, Marina and Fitness Center etc.
A strong Policy Governance model is in place to provide a framework for the 7-member Board of Directors to remain focused on a strategic level while the professional staff administers the day to day business. The Food & Beverage director reports directly to the Director of Amenities, works closely with other management staff.
