"The Top 10 Places to Buy a Second Home," read the headline. Curious, I read on to find Asheville, N.C #1. ."This mountain town boasts the Biltmore Estate and a thriving arts and crafts community...." Reporting for MSN Money Liz Weston includes in that assessment communities that offer weather, scenery and active real estate markets.

asheville area horse properties: The Eco-Friendly Real Estate To Do List .Land Planning. - 01/31/09 10:50 AM
LAND PLANNING Here in the Greater Asheville area's mountains and foothills, surveys are important! Not long ago, an out-of-state buyer came into our office. After much land-walking, she was ready to purchase a sweet tract for an equestrian estate. Only one problem: Although she was very well-schooled in horse-related things, she was not up-to-speed in those very important processes people go to real estate professionals for...in this case the survey. It appeared that the someone (we were not sure who) had rendered survey advice to Buyer..... leaving us with a couple of very puzzling questions.... 1) who was this … (1 comments)

We are "horsey" people with clients who love their companions, and the land on which they create amazing equestrian abodes. Trails reach out from the land and wind around the mountainsides to be kissed by little brooks along the way. How could one describe the delight all this provides for those who experience it? Not long ago, I shot aphoto that may express the way this horse feels...one picture.... … (3 comments)
asheville area horse properties: conservation real estate stories from asheville's Land Brokers - 01/01/09 06:03 PM
We were out looking at land for a client today. The family plans to build three homes on the property they select. The homes will be placed in a portion of the land. The majority of the land will be conserved. We have been lucky over the past years to be a part of such conservation real estate stories. (photo taken on 35+ AC parcel near Asheville, NC. January 1, 2009) I got to wondering today just how much LAND we have brokered. I am going to back into my records and will let you know. But my guestimate is around … (5 comments)

We had been on the hunt for a horse farm for our clients. "A turnkey organic farm with a good horse barn where like-minded people could share the acreage and facilities, " we were instructed.

asheville area horse properties: Farming is Alive and Breathing in Sustainable Communities Near Asheville, NC. - 12/26/08 10:42 PM
The Greater Asheville area of Western North Carolina has seen an influx of people relocating and investing in real property in recent years. As you can imagine farmland (as described in the previous post) is disappearing at a rapid rate. And, where "working the land" used to mean laboring to harvest corn, tobacco, hogs, cattle, sheep, and native plants, "working the land" now calls to mind bulldozers, cranes, and construction crews erecting residential properties. Still farming, noted for its impact on the history, economy, and culture of our region, is alive and breathing in the hills and coves just miles from … (0 comments)

asheville area horse properties: Luxury Green Homes: Are They For Real ? - 11/28/08 03:05 PM
Another Eco Certified® Real Estate Consultant and I happened on a "find" as we were out previewing properties for a client here in Asheville, NC not long ago. Horse farms and organic acreages are wonderful to visit on a mild winter's day. And, this time of year, most of the leaves have nested in the mountain crevices leaving landscapes free for viewing what otherwise might be missed. One of those missed items was our "find" ... a for sale by owner sign that was almost totally obscured by fallen leaves. The sign read... "For Sale By Owner 4 BR 5 Bath Luxury Green … (6 comments)

We can guess, and based on intuition we can plan, but we never can know what will happen today, tomorrow, next week, next year--in all the years to come. Never can we know. But always, we can choose. We always can choose to hear and respond to the stirrings of a real estate market as it closes doors and opens new ones. Always we can choose to include in our planning the "bigger picture" ... for example the implications of social networking , and we can choose to respond to the consumer-facing WWW even if that be with great sighs.

I began a "conversation" with a horse person via email. She is a potentialclient I met through Active Rain. She wrote something like this, "I am exploring relocating to an eco conscious, eco friendly community which welcomes and accommodates horses (5). I am specifically interested in a situation in which there is minimum environmental toxicity in the community." Now folks, I know what she means by eco-friendly. "Green" is downright popular these days. Thank goodness "old timers" and ecologists are readily available to point out plants and trees potentially toxic to horses. But I also know about my horse-clients and … (17 comments)

Critical issues face horse men and women in North Carolina. According to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture these challenges include: "loss of areas to ride, zoning laws limiting horse ownership, liability problems of riding stables, and rapid development." Still horses are a way of life for thousands of people in our beautiful State with its rolling hills and inviting terrains. Remember, North Carolina historically has been a horse-loving State, from the sea to the mountains. So the challenges at hand can be overcome with creative planning and determination, I am told. And knowing my horse-loving clients, I believe that is true. In … (11 comments)

The other day, as I mentioned in an earlier poston my BLOG,a novice “Green” investor and I were talking about the pros and cons of the 1031 Like Kind Exchange. (Good info on the 1031 is available at NAR: She had heard "by the grapevine" and mistakenly believedthat she absolutely had to acquire property exactly likeher relinquished property. I discovered this as we started to scope out her property options, and we talked about what they could be. She confessed that she had been distressed about how she was going to find an exact match.

I like the idea of talking with serious Investors...I am seriously attracted to getting right to the Point.The 1031 http://www.janeanne.com/resources.asp provides this for me and my team.

I like the idea of cooperating with other real estate professionals who are intrigued with 1031s. Here is a 1031 scenario YOU might like...
