"If it's not amazing,
it's not worth doing."
- Mark Auger / Othrys Founder
"I’ve worked with Mark for over six years, and in that time, he’s shown that he doesn’t just build homes—he elevates entire environments. His attention to detail is unwavering, from foundation to finish. He builds for longevity, using high-quality materials tailored to the demands of mountain living.
What sets Mark apart is his vision. His vision and selection of home sites are positioned to maximize views, privacy, and natural harmony—while minimizing environmental impact.
Each project feels rooted in the land itself.
Mark is more than a developer; he’s a true steward of the mountains."

"As a custom home builder in North Georgia for over 20 years, I’ve worked on many mountain homes—but working with Mark Auger on Phase I of Pinhoti Summit has been a standout experience.
Mark is a true visionary. He pours himself into every detail, balancing innovative luxury design with the structural integrity required for extreme mountain conditions. He’s on-site regularly, making thoughtful decisions that prioritize longevity, quality, and craftsmanship.
One thing I appreciate most is Mark’s mindset. He often says, “Your standards are what you tolerate,” and it’s clear we share an uncompromising commitment to excellence. He’s not just building for today—he’s building for generations."

"We purchased a home in Pinhoti Summit in February of this year. The location offers one of the most spectacular views we saw during our search in the Ellijay/Blue Ridge region. It provides an extremely private and tranquil environment for a home.
If you’re looking for a retreat or a home with unparalleled views, this is the place for you. The buying process was smooth and issue-free—we found the developer and builder to be extremely accommodating in helping us include the features we wanted. The quality of the construction and workmanship is truly top-tier.
We’re excited to have made this purchase and to be part of such a small, private, and unique community.
And again—the VIEWS are PHENOMENAL!"
