“North Carolina Land – Good for the Soul!”

 While sitting on the front porch this morning, enjoying a cool, fresh breeze and a hot cup of coffee, I began daydreaming about what city-dwellers might consider the perfect mountain setting.

First, I felt, they would want a front porch that overlooks a green grassy meadow.  Next, I envisioned a stream skipping over the rocks, making those splashing, gurgling sounds streams make.   Plenty of deep green leaves on huge hardwood trees in the background- all of which framed the picture in my mind.  Finally, a doe and her fawn dashing across this panorama would seal the perfect morning in the mountains.  Who wouldn’t be happy living in such peaceful surroundings?

As I finished my coffee, I realized that I was living the picture I had been envisioning for others, except for one small detail.  This morning it was not a doe but a wild turkey that appeared, and then quickly vanished into the woods.

Have you ever dreamed of moving to the mountains – to enjoy the stress-free life? I did – 18 years ago.  At the time, I thought I was just buying land in the mountains.  Little did I know that I was making a life-changing decision – from the fast pace of the city to one of quiet, peace, and contentment.  What started as just another piece of mountain land became a family retreat, a compound where family members and friends gather, enriching the lives of all who entered.

You can do the same!  It’s not just a simple decision – but more of a process.  It begins with trips to the mountains, researching available properties, determining the climate, checking prices, investigating lenders interested in easing your land purchase, and checking out available properties.  It will seem strange at first – how will you know when you’ve found the right property?  Do you prefer seclusion tucked back off the main road, or want to be near town on a friendly paved road?

What about wildlife?  Recreation? Neighbors? Schools & shopping? Would you like heavily wooded land or an open meadow – or both?  Want high elevations with inspiring views – or a valley setting with a stream?

What may begin as a confusing and strangely mystical quest, will quickly become a comfortable, enjoyable family experience.  You may also want to get a free copy of “Carolina Dreaming!” – our land buyer’s manual.  It’s available right here on our website – no cost or obligation.  This quick, easy read will introduce you to the process of buying land from the comfort of your home.
