A dizzying selection of choices greets the vacation lover brave enough to enter the vacation and second home sales arena. A simple Google search for Carolina vacation property or NC mountain resort property reveals 100's of sites clamoring for your vacation home business. I checked the locations of several that were located in Orlando, NY, or Chicago. What on earth does someone from Chicago or NY know about Carolina vacation property sales?
Did you know there are 300 vacation/second home communities in NC alone? To fully understand the vacation home buyer, the Realtor must know the nuances of each area, for instance the High mountain communities of Highlands, Cashiers, and Sapphire offer rich views from over 4000' and are ideal for really getting away, while Blowing Rock, NC offer slightly lower elevations (3,000"+) and access to the arts in The Village and near by medical facilities as well as Appalachian State University in Boone. Suppose someone wants to be about an hour from the metropolitan areas of the state? Then the oldest mountain range in the world (Uwharrie National Forest) or The Coves at Round Mountain outside Lenoir might be a perfect fit.
I have spent a lifetime getting to know The Carolinas and what makes each area special. It would be my pleasure to guide and work with you to find your perfect Carolina get away. Please take some time to check a few developments that have caught our attention, and then contact us with any questions you may have. We (New South Mortgage and John Roberts Properties) visit several properties each month to insure developers have a sharp vision and the means to carry it to fruition.
Located a few miles southeast of Burnsville in historic Yancey County, The Cove at Celo Mountain exemplifies the best of North Carolina mountain living. The Cove is ideally sited on the northeast slope of Celo Mountain, which, as the northern anchor of the Black Mountain range rises to 6,327 feet. Only 15 miles in total length, The Black Mountain range contains ten of the highest peaks in the entire Appalachian Mountain chain which stretches from Georgia into Canada. One of the oldest rock formations in the world, Celo Mountain has been carved for eons by water and wind to create the dramatic ridges, hills and valleys you will find in The Cove at Celo Mountain. Headwaters which combine to form the ancient South Toe River flow through The Cove. These numerous tributaries and branches alternately reveal and conceal a landscape rich in natural and agricultural resources.

The 1040's in Charlotte saw the emergence of quaint neighborhoods of small all brick homes with fabulous character. Rich in moldings, hardwoods, and those all important front and side porches, these homes saw families live, work, and play in ways that are now only seen in re-runs of Mayberry. As the city grew, many of these smaller homes gave way to new larger move up neighborhoods, and areas like Plaza Midwood were all but forgotten.
Today, these neighborhoods of the past are showing real muscle and fighting back at the house farms that dot the landscape in many areas. Neighborhoods such as Midwood have found favor again among urbanites looking for a simpler life and shorter commutes. Many families have discovered the charm of an earlier period can be update to 2007 standards relatively easily while not destroying the special character that period moldings, and 1940's character can provide. It turns out today's rich granite counter-tops and stainless steel appliances mesh beautifully with 1940 and 1950's style. Most of these "stick built" homes lend themselves to additions upward and outward to handle today's space needs, and almost as easy is adding updates to infrastructure such as electric and cable to accommodate our modern media requirements.
What is created is a neighborhood generations ahead of the new subdivisions in character and a simpler life built around neighborhood shops, stores, restaurants, and services. Seems as though families have rediscovered the Mayberry life with all the right upgrades just a few miles from downtown Charlotte. You owe yourself a trip to Midwood, and a drive along the grande boulevard we call "The Plaza".
Perfect in Plaza Midwood. 2 bd/1 ba; Gourmet kitchen w/Granite counters. Room to expand/wine cellar in basement.
