The Wall Street Journal reported that Actress Andie MacDowell is building a home in beautiful, eco-friendly Balsam Mountain Preserve, just 10 to 15 minutes from downtown Waynesville, NC!
“Ms. MacDowell, 50 years old, starred in “Groundhog Day” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral.” A year ago, she paid about $1 million for a vacant lot of just under two acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the Balsam Mountain Preserve, a 4,400-acre development of 3,000 acres of protected land and 354 home sites. The houses, at elevations from 3,000 to 4,700 feet, can’t be larger than 4,500 square feet and must use materials that blend the building into the environment, according to a design-review board.“
