The video below was created after the spectacular trail ride I enjoyed with Balsam Mountain Preserve resident ‘Cowboy Scott’ (Dr. Scott Huse) Sunday, May 31, at Western North Carolina’s beautiful, private club community, Balsam Mountain Preserve. Fifty miles of trails with no signs of the ‘real world’ anywhere!

Balsam Mountain Preserve has many and unique amenities:

Balsam Mountain Preserve Equestrian Center (50 miles of trails!).
Balsam Mountain Preserve Golfing.
Balsam Mountain Preserve’s Golf Course “Best New North Carolina Golf Course of 2009.” (Can you say Arnold Palmer?)

Mountain View Real Estate In Campbell Mountain Estates.

April 25th, 2009 Categories: Gated Communities, Luxury and Second Home Market

Click here to see homes and lots available in Campbell Mountain Estates.

The beautiful mountain development called Campbell Mountain Estates is nestled in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, close to the heart of both Waynesville and Maggie Valley, the Cataloochee Ski Area, Ghost Town in the Sky, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you crave the lifestyle, allure and intrigue of four distinct seasons, a constantly changing landscape, views revealing the mountains and beautiful mountainside homes during the winter, and tree-filled views during the spring and summer, Campbell Mountain Estates could be just what you are looking for.

The gated community of Campbell Mountain Estates features public water, septic evaluations approved for each lot, community street lighting, newly-paved streets, long-range mountain views on almost every lot, easy access, driveways and site pads in place, and close proximity to golfing, shopping, skiing, trout fishing, Asheville, and Cherokee, not to mention seeing the elk in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Beautiful Homes and Lots.

There are beautiful lots and homes available on King Horn Ridge and The Knolls on Campbell Mountain. The lots range in size from just under one acre to two acres, many with long range views, all of which offer close proximity to community hiking trails and picnic facilities for your pleasure when the mood strikes you.

Post and Beam Construction.

The homes for sale in Campbell Mountain Estates are very distinctive in style and detail, and feature an “architectural emphasis on post and beam construction.”

“… Post and beam construction allows large expanses of glass, since the weight of the structure is supported on posts that are fairly far apart. Coupled with high vaulted ceilings, this creates large, airy, well lit living spaces. That in itself would be enough to give a home or public building an appearance of grandeur. Since most people that choose this type of construction have a love for finely crafted wood, they leave the posts and beams exposed, giving the building an added warmth and beauty. ” Read more about post and beam construction here.

Thursday evening the Maggie Valley Club held a business gathering for local businesses, and a great time was had by all.
