BLESSED TO CALL THE MOUNTAINS “HOME” TABLE OF
As a life long resident of the Great Smoky Mountains, I can honestly say that there’s no place I would rather call “home.” Sure, there’s other areas that are more “commercialized”, and I’m sure that appeals to some folks; but for me, all it takes is stepping outside to see the natural beautythat surrounds our area and I immediately realize I live in the best place on Earth!
As I’m out and about, I’m always trying to catch a glimpse of the features that make living in the mountains so special.The view of the early morning fog that hovers over Fontana Lake is one of my favorites. Another is the elk grazing in the lush green grass as you enter the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Or the spectacular sunsets when riding west from Balsam to Cherokee along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
These are just a sampling of the awesome natural features that make living here so special! Chances are, it you’ve picked up this issue, these mountains have appealed to you in a lot of the same ways as they have to me. If you’re visiting and think the Smokies just might be the place you’ve been looking for to relocate, take time to contact one of the real estate pros in this guide. They have the knowledge and expertise to assist you in finding just what you’re looking for. And as always, let them know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!
