ASHEVILLE
Asheville, North Carolina, is a wonderful place to vacation and live! Once a well-kept secret, more and more people are discovering the beauty and serenity of our mountain retreat.
The abundance and variety of boutiques, coffee shops, antique barns, restaurants, and whole food markets reflects Asheville's burgeoning economic growth, and have made it a very attractive place to raise children, retire, settle down, or just escape…
The resplendent Blue Ridge Mountains surround this historic city, creating a tranquil atmosphere with urban character - the best of both worlds. Area attractions such as the Biltmore Estate, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Hot Springs, Cherokee Village, Ghost Town, Sliding Rock, Maggie Valley, and the Grove Park Inn provide year-round entertainment. Outdoor activities are abundant, including golfing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, horseback riding, kayaking, and whitewater rafting. Unique locales surrounding Asheville such as Waynesville and Black Mountain guarantee a perfect fit (and day trips!) for everyone.
Carolina Mornings Real Estate can help you find your dream home or vacation retreat, whether it is a quiet cottage in the rolling hills, a creek-side cabin, a renovated Victorian in Asheville's historic district, or a downtown loft. Whatever it may be we strive to realize the personal residential vision of each and every client. Please visit Asheville on the web at www.exploreasheville.com.
BLACK MOUNTAIN
Black Mountain is a charming mountain town that offers peacefulness and serenity in a glorious mountain arena. Aptly designated "The Front Porch of Western North Carolina," Black Mountain is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the mountains.
Residential neighborhoods surround a large lake with public access, playgrounds, and picnic areas. More secluded vacation properties are scattered in the mountains overlooking the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Black Mountain is locally renowned for its established selection of antique furniture stores. The historic downtown area also boasts outdoor dining, traditional mountain music, regional arts and crafts, and the Center for the Arts. Only 15 miles East of Asheville, Black Mountain is easily accessible to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the downtown area. It is also convenient to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Montreat, home to Montreat College. Black Mountain is ideal for families in search of the perfect mountain retreat!

HENDERSONVILLE
Located between Asheville and Greenville, South Carolina, Hendersonville is a blooming town of apple trees and orchards, allowing the easy convenience of country living in close proximity to urban areas.
Historic Downtown Hendersonville is in the National Register of Historic Places, and hosts the North Carolina Apple Harvest Festival over Labor Day weekend, which draws artisans from all over the state. Hendersonville is the home of Thomas Wolfe’s Look Homeward Angel statue, a monument that attracts many literary fans, as well as the Flat Rock Playhouse for those who prefer the live arts.

WEAVERVILLE
Looking for privacy? You'll find it in the low-key enclave of Weaverville, nestled in the picturesque mountains of Western North Carolina. Convenient to Asheville, its rolling hills support a healthy lifestyle and blossoming arts scene within a short commute of the city.
Weaverville has been a designated "Tree City USA" for the last fifteen years, but its rich history dates back to the nineteenth century. In its heyday, Weaverville was a popular tourist destination, with several "grand" hotels and a trolley line running directly into downtown Asheville.
While retaining its historic charm, Weaverville has settled into its small town pace, hosting a population of merely 2500 residents. Local farmers sell their produce at a weekly downtown tailgate market, while area residents congregate at Lake Louise. Only six miles from downtown Asheville, Weaverville feels a world away.
