asheville conservation real estate: Waterfall 1031- Asheville Style - 07/01/11 09:03 AM
Asheville Real Estate-  Land Journal  
Not long ago, a 1031 Like-Kind Exchange client traded her beachfront resort condo with its cumbersome property management responsibilities, for the relative freedom of a land purchase. This was a sixty-plus (60+) acre tract. It was endowed with amazing and very obvious natural features. She found it attractive not just for the beauty, but for the freedom.

asheville conservation real estate: Land Lore - Land For Sale By Owner - 01/10/10 09:36 AM
Asheville, NC  January , 2010 
Exploring LAND in the Asheville area mountains is always exciting. It is particularly so in the winter after a snowstorm. But, when land is for sale by owner, my curiosity propels me.  Add in an element of anticipation and you have a very alluring adventure.

It's been awhile since I've seen Carolina, it always was pretty … (4 comments)
