Rick Skelton and Susan Council, Town Founders and Exceptional Developers with an Extraordinary Personal Vision for INOLA
INOLA is special, for Rick has come back to his roots, a place he loves. Not only was he born and raised here, but his family traces their arrival to the 1800’s. Rick’s mother’s side of his family bought land for their farm from Chief Inola’s representative. Thus, comes the inspiration for the name of the community and development. For Rick this is a long-term project, a place to call home, a labor of love. A dream that he will share with those who want to live in the beauty of the mountains in a most special place.
Rick’s career has combined a rural upbringing with 30 plus years of creating urban projects as well as premium resorts. It is this combination of experience and expertise that makes INOLA different. In a stunning mountain setting the INOLA experience will be a comprehensive community that includes; shopping, entertainment, recreation and work settings.
A place and an Architectural Vision that is Matchless in the South
Rick and Architect Stephen Fuller conceive homes at INOLA as a unique blend of classic colonial refinement and the luxury cabin-style of homes that has become established in the mountains of North Georgia. From the surrounding Williamsburg buildings, we draw out an economy of style and grace. The lodge style adds a connection to the environment with stone and wood, a myriad of textures. It is only at INOLA that you will experience both in one home.

“We design homes,

places to call Home”
Stephen Fuller, Architect INOLA
Creating and orchestrating this vision is what we do at Stephen Fuller Designs.
We design homes that address individual homeowners needs. They complement the style and preferences set forth by the families that will occupy them. We design communities that are in harmony with the landscape and set a design standard that is desired by the market of potential home buyers. The style of homes and layout of the community are planned to the most intricate detail. We design gathering places that bring neighbors and communities together, encouraging the kind of good fellowship that has been lost from recent years in our society of fast paced living.
A Stephen Fuller home is more than a residence; it is a thoughtful balance between nature and man. It is a place where the best of the past coexists with the demands – and opportunities – of today. These are the secrets that open the door to livable, functional style that is always elegant and distinctive about Stephen Fuller designs. https://www.stephenfuller.com/
