Not far from the cultural hub of Asheville, North Carolina yet surrounded by forever-wild mountain forests, soaring cliffs, cascading streams , and stuff of which dreams of Home are made is the doo
rway to possibility in the form of an eco-community that thrives on nature.
I'm heading over the valley and up the mountainside this weekend to take more photos to show you.
(How do you like this one?)
I want to see for myself if what I've heard is true....that you can create a green home next to a stream, and walk for miles right out your back door then camp under the stars.
I expect to find a blueprint for ecological wisdom because, in a brief conversation I had the other day the eco-innovator/ developer, I was informed,
"We are the first development in the country to combine wide-ranging land conservation with an eco-friendly community of green homes, which are solar-heated and solar-powered. Using renewable energy from wind power, hydropower and geothermal sources, we are a true net-zero-energy community, creating more renewable energy than we use."
I am excited! This has to be a model for eco-innovation. Stay tuned.. .
