The Buck Stops Here
Many thanks to the Bent Tree homeowner/photographer who let me share these fantastic photos. Yesterday, he saw this 6 point buck chasing does (with no luck). Then, a short time later, the tired buck took a needed rest.

36 Years Ago, the Property Owners Gained Control
Note – as you read this post, you can click on the links (yellow text) for additional Bent Tree corporate history. And, since today is Veterans Day, click here for a 2017 post about the visionary behind the Bent Tree dream.
Thirty-six years ago, a settlement agreement was reached between Bent Tree Corporation (not the same as BTCI) and Bent Tree Property Owners Association, Inc. The amenities/common properties were turned over to the property owners, under a management arrangement on November 1, 1983 and the actual transfer of ownership to the property owners occurred later that month. Bent Tree Community, Inc. was established by BTPOA to own and operate the facilities on behalf of the Bent Tree property owners. The following quote is from the November 1983 Echo (the first Echo published by BTCI instead of by Bent Tree Country Club):

One of the things that amazes me about deer is how long their necks really are.

50 Years Ago This Month
On October 30, 1969 the Pickens County Progress had a front page article announcing the plans for the development of Bent Tree. The first line of the article began “Last Thursday night at the Lions Club meeting personnel from Spratlin Associates, Inc., of Atlanta revealed for the first time publicly the projected plans for a multi-million dollar investment in Pickens County…”.

“Come see this nature-lovers’ paradise.”
11 Briar Vista in Bent Tree hit the market with an asking price of $133,900. Click here to link to the listing information. While looking at the listing, the lot size jumped out at me as unusually small (it says the 2 bed / 2 bath home sits on only .33 acres). So, I looked it up on the tax assessor’s site, which says the home is actually on a .42 acre lot. And, there might be a possibility to purchase/combine the empty lots adjacent to the property, to make it an even better nature-lovers’ paradise.
“Beautiful lake home near the beach in Bent Tree.”
