It was shocking to see this home under construction in Maggie Valley! Long time no see construction. I noticed it Friday evening, down close to the Ghost Town in the Sky end of town. Progress I am sure has been hampered with all the snow, ice and rain we have had here in Maggie Valley, but it is nice to see something new being built.
Ironically, a couple of hours after I took this photo Friday afternoon, there was a "massive landslide" on Rich Cove Road just across Soco Road from this home, displacing at least 4 homes and quite a few families.

As I was driving by the Maggie Valley Club and its snow-covered golf course the other day, on Moody Farm Road, I noticed how naked the beautiful mountain homes at the top of the mountains were, even without a telephoto lens. The homes are way off in the distance in the first photo.
The photo below is a 'close up,' relative speaking, of the homes on the mountain above the Maggie Valley Golf Club course.

We finally had some beautiful blue skies in Maggie Valley Sunday. The photos below were taken on Moody Farm Road and Soco Road (the main drag) in Maggie Valley, all within a 5 mile radius.
You really can drive down Soco Road in Maggie Valley and see cattle eating hay, shop at Market Square, and find some good food along the way, although some of our restaurants close down for the winter.
Curious about our January real estate sales here in Maggie Valley (Haywood County) NC? Here are preliminary numbers.

Last Friday (January 29) Maggie Valley NC was frosted with snow about 4 hours before it was forecast to fall. These photos were taken around 5 p.m. Between the snow, sleet and rain recently, drive carefully, no matter what you are driving.
Imagine how beautiful the views are from up on a mountain here in Haywood County. While it's nice living at ground level as you don't usually get 'snowed in,' getting stuck for a few days in a beautiful mountain long cabin wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen!

I noticed that Panacea added a great big rack (you can see it in the distance in the photo) full of their fresh, delicious coffee beans.
Panacea is a great place to drink coffee, enjoy free wifi, enjoy friends, and eat good food too.

Pending sales in Haywood County NC, including Waynesville and Maggie Valley, in January as of 01/22/10 totaled 9 (thru 01/27), with 6 out of the 9 pending transactions being ‘distressed‘ properties. The 9 pending transactions have an Average Listing Price of $187,426. Says volumes about our market, and our many overpriced listings.
