THIS MONTH'S TOPIC:

"The impossible dream
- isn't.
"

When I was 5-6 years old, one of the “Golden Books” read to me by my father was about a little boy who lived in a house in the woods.  I remember that it was a simple house surrounded by trees and forest.  It seemed so peaceful and inviting.

Today, 50+ years later, I live in a house in the woods, surrounded by high ridges and mountain forests.  Apparently, as a child, I had a dream.  Today, I live that dream every day. 

From my front porch, with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, I see only a meadow with an occasional deer, and a high ridge with tall oaks, poplar, mountain ash, and maples.  This 4th of July weekend, each morning has brought brisk 56° temps and clear skies, somewhat akin to an early Fall morning.

Have you ever had a dream like that?  Do you wish your family could live and play in a special place – all your own – in the North Carolina mountains?  Whether your dream includes camping, a weekend getaway cabin, or a permanent location to get your family back to more simple basics of living, just remember: “The impossible dream – isn’t”.

Twenty years ago, I came to the mountains looking for 30-40 acres for a family retreat.  I unexpectedly found myself the owner of 114 acres when my wife and I fell in love with what is now known as “Ghost Valley”.  Today 3 out of 8 of our children live in our valley, and the rest come often for “Sunday Night Steak Night!”

How did we do it?  We started with a weekend trip to the mountains, and asked a broker  to show us some acreage tracts.  We looked, and dreamed, but made no decisions on that trip.  A month later, however, the broker told us about a certain valley with a mountain stream through the middle.  One cold, snowy morning between Christmas and New Years, with the stream frozen solid, we fell in love with what was to become our valley.  We moved to Ghost Valley 3 months later – and it was a life changer.  We had no more fast city pace – our children wanted to join us – no more traffic jams – quiet porch mornings – deer and turkey for neighbors – and finally . . . our “forever home”.

Ready to make your “impossible dream” a reality? Want some of the same?  Call or Email, and we’ll help you get started. – please, do it now – TODAY!  Your dream is waiting!
