PART I
Last summer, my spouse was fed up with all the tourists and the heat at the beach. We did experience some very hot, dry days and the beaches were packed . On our escape to the mountains in September, he wanted to explore the possibility of purchasing a property in the mountains. We spent three weeks in Boone and two weeks in Asheville exploring various communities only to realize what we thought we wanted wasn't as easy to find as we thought it would be.
What did we want? We wanted unrestricted land because we wanted to put in an RV pad with utilities which meant we had to have easy access to the property and my husband wanted a high elevation so it would be cool in the summer...turned out to be contradictory. We didn't want another house to maintain. I spoke to several agents a few weeks in advance but we found they really didn't understand that a 22,000 pound motorhome cannot handle more than an 8 degree incline and many mountain roads with twists and turns were too narrow.
I had picked an agent in each area and I explained to them what we wanted to do and what our needs would be. I'm sorry to say...they never got it. What an opportunity they missed? We did find the right property...stay tuned for Part II.
