Asheville Waterfall Properties 

 

 

As a green real estate agent I have many workplaces.  Sometimes my office is my car sometimes its the local coffee shop. I could just as easily find myself on a ridge top as the actual office itself.  That being said, some of my favorite places of work are the Asheville waterfalls.  And there are millions of gallons of them.  There are few things I know of in this world that are more relaxing, enchanting, and soul cleansing than the sound of falling water.  Bearing witness to the mountain springs as they tumultuously careen their way down the slopes eventually join the French Broad or Catawba rivers is certainly one of the jewels in the Asheville crown. 

A lot of Asheville's waterfall properties are protected by the state or federal government, set aside for the enjoyment of the public in places like Pisgah National Forest or Dupont State Park.  There are still many waterfall properties on the market today some developed and some undeveloped.  I think that there are probably more substantial Asheville area waterfalls than any one person knows for sure.  They tend to pop up a sometimes unexpected highlight to land and property,

I was recently thinking about my time backpacking in Maine.  I remember that even though I found myself surrounded by pristine peace and beauty there was always something going on in my head.  Some song or stupid jingle from a commercial I heard when I was twelve.  The only thing I know that ever just quieted my mind and smoothed out all of the nonsense was the sound of flowing water.

 

Now that things are busier than ever I am thankful that the Asheville waterfall properties are one of the places I work...and play.
