How lucky we are to live near the Blue Ridge Parkway

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Professionals Realty

This weekend gave us beautiful weather on Saturday, with the sun shining and cool temperatures which encourages us to go for a long motorcycle ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  We are so fortunate to have such beautiful roadways at our disposal.  The leaves have'nt changed much at home, but take a look at what we saw after getting above Asheville.  It is always so picturesque to view the different elevations.  We drove all the way to Mount Mitchell State Park and back.  It was just over 100 miles round trip, but very much worth the ride.  After receiving many calls and emails from clients questioning when the leaves will change, I decided to go out and document the leaves for those who can't make the trip right now.  Our peak is typically the middle of October when the leaves are at their most brilliant of colors.  The valley passing Chunns Cove is very much green and showing no signs of change just yet.  Then once we were out of the area above Asheville, WOW!  The colors just popped.  So many reds, golds and peach colored leaves.  Many people describe the mountains as a patchwork or quilt.  This holds so true for all we saw on Saturday.  The colors were so varied and brilliant, it did look as though someone put each of those trees in thier place and created the masterpiece that we saw.


 

For those people wanting to live here, we have some very special properties that fit your lifestyle, and will allow you to view the changing of the leaves in very different ways. 

First here is a lot in Waterford Lakes, a private community that shows off the views dramatically.  This lot allows you to view mountains and pastures with privacey and seclusion but still be very close to town.  Located in Fairview, NC just 20 minutes to downtown Asheville, where you can experience all that is cool, creative and fun. 

 

This next home would be for the classic car collector.  The lower level is a garage with 7 slots for vehicles.  Just the perfect home to have all your toys right there so you can pick whichever one your heart desires for the day. Oh, did I mention that a home comes attached?  This wonderful home was built after the Better Homes and Garden Award winning plan for 1996.  So close to the parkway for those Sunday drives and incredable views to enjoy the leaves changing on the horizon.  

Lower level 7 car garage, plus 2 car on main.
