Will you be among the
few who are ready for
ski & mountain top living in the exclusive high mountain resort of
Wolf Laurel? If you want to live & play in our new resort location
high above Asheville, consider taking the following actions. First,
take our High Mountain Lifestyle Quiz, then decide when you want to
visit, next, contact us for an appointment. Then, come up for a
personal tour and decide if you should reserve one of the limited
number of high mountain lots, homes or consider other real estate
opportunities, resort property and amenities in the area.
Starting
now, a select few choice families will have the unique opportunity
to live and enjoy an active outdoor mountain lifestyle only 35 easy,
freeway minutes from downtown Asheville, NC. At Wolf Laurel, your
mountainside or mountaintop lot or residence will have some of the
most expansive and spectacular views in the region. We are just
north of Asheville by Interstate Highway but yet a world above the
hustle and bustle of downtown attractions, stoplights, traffic and
your daily work environment. Here Southern hospitality, mountain
culture and Canadian climate meet at the peaks of the mountains of
NC to create our high mountain resort lifestyle of residences,
cabins and condos, along with numerous outdoor recreational
opportunities and an expanding ski resort.
We live
here and well understand that beautiful vistas are everywhere in our
mountains but I believe you will find the rest of our story
certainly unique in the Asheville area and points beyond. If you are
considering a vacation home or primary residence with mountaintop
views, have you ever asked yourself, what else do we do after
looking at the views? I’m sure if you have children or
grandchildren, they will be the first to ask this question.
Why
Settle For Less? This may be your final opportunity to live in
and appreciate the cold, crisp winter lifestyle of a ski resort near
Asheville plus enjoy all the summer mountain activities and climate
that have historically made our mountain region the premiere summer
and fall vacation choice for millions. Also if you are interested in
a second home, condo or vacation retreat before you permanently move
to our mountains, then enjoy our area when you can come to play
while receiving substantial rental income when you are not using
your new mountain home through our 4 season rental program at Wolf's
Crossing Realty, Inc.
Is Wolf Laurel Area the Right Opportunity For You?
Take the High Mountain Lifestyle Quiz below and then decide
for yourself if you should visit, vacation or ski here to better get
to know us and our resort area. Many of you are deciding to buy or
build a summer home, ski cabin or mountain chalet here. Now, with
the convenience of our new interstate highway connection to
Asheville and beyond, more commuters from Asheville and others are
building their full-time permanent residence here in order to enjoy
the many benefits of our high mountain region. Please take the quiz
and come for a visit as you just might decide to stay.
(1)
Do you and
your family members enjoy snow sports? – Yes, you can enjoy the
snow in the winter, build a snowman or engage in a snowball fight
here as well as at home but remember Wolf Laurel at almost one mile
high receives on average of four times more snow than nearby
Asheville's 14 inches annually way down in the valley. Here you can
experience the excitement of our expanding Wolf Laurel slopes on
skis or snowboard right in your own neighborhood. Other quieter
winter time attractions are winter hiking, cross-country skiing and
snowshoeing on the adjacent Big Bald Mountain at an elevation over
5,500 feet. Of course, your children and grandchildren will get
plenty of use for their sleds and they may become addicted to our
snow tubing slopes. Winter is a fun time for snow lovers of all ages
in our high mountains.
(2) Is summertime fun &
outdoor mountain activities
high on your list of
family priorities? – How about a round of golf at one of the
highest elevation courses east of the Rocky Mountains or a fun game
of tennis where you are left breathless by the views instead of
southern heat and humidity. For swimming, we recommend a heated pool
at this elevation unless you want to take a dip or inner tube, canoe
or whitewater raft down the French Broad River a few miles away and
3,000 feet down below our resort. Or try several other relaxing and
solitary pursuits including horseback riding to enjoy our 360 degree
views, fly fishing, rock climbing, mountain camping and more.
Finally, don’t forget our first class mountain bike trails where
you’ll have the opportunity to thankfully take the lift up to the
top and then you are on your own all the way back down. All of these
recreational activities and more are available in the area but some
will require your membership in specific resort club and or
amenities programs.
(3)
Do you
sometimes get tired of cooking? – In the summer and winter, walk
or drive to the new Top of the Slope mountain restaurant located in
the magnificent timber, log and glass ski lodge at nearby Wolf Ridge
Resort. Enjoy breakfast,
lunch or dinner with breathtaking long-range views in the 22,000
square foot structure with a soaring 40-foot roofline. Also you can
choose one of the 6 other restaurants nearby or drive the 30 minutes
to sample one of many fine dining establishments, the arts and
nighttime entertainment in nearby Asheville, recently described as
the “Paris of the South” in Blue Ridge Country magazine. Most
important, join and enjoy the Wolf Laurel Country Club where the
Austrian chef guarantees the food and the ambiance of the lounge and
restaurant is unmatched in the area.
(4) Do You Like to Take
Walks? -
Forget the sidewalks as here we have miles of hiking trails with
gorgeous scenery, wild flowers, butterfly habitats plus all the
animal life you would expect in a region bordering tens of thousands
of acres of national forest.
(5) Are
you interested in taking long hikes?
– Do you know anyone that has the 2,000 mile historic Appalachian
Trail in their backyard? It is just a short hike to the AT and Big
Bald Mountain at 5, 516 feet from here on our mountain.
(6) Do you like for your
friends and family to come for a quick visit? - If you decide to
build or purchase an existing residence up here, we suggest you add
at least one extra bedroom over your immediate family needs because
our experience is friends, family, children and grandchildren will
visit more often and stay longer. Here you are living just outside
of Asheville but many residents explain the main problem in our
resort location is often too many friends and family come to visit
and they stay too long so don't worry about being lonely up here.
(7)
Do you or family members
sometimes enjoy a night out on the town? – Here you are 30 quick
minutes by interstate highway from all the nightlife, entertainment,
arts, cultural activities, shopping and world class restaurants in
Asheville, NC, now one of America's leading tourist destinations.
(8) Would you like to
have more private time for yourself and those you love? -
Imagine for a moment if you could have the peace, quiet and privacy
to just curl up with a good book or that special someone you love?
Here you can be as busy or social as you want or get away from all
the distractions of life and spend some quality time with yourself
and others who you care for.
(9) Do you ever get tired
of worrying about where your children are & what they are doing?
- In the rural mountains of Western North Carolina the respected
family values of honor, home, hearth and traditions still take
precedence over many of the new ideas and concepts sweeping through
the the fast-paced and changing suburban areas today. Here peer
pressure, petty crime and the generation gap are often held in check
by tried and true values and a spirit of community that has
sometimes been lost elsewhere. You'll discover the sometimes
negative feelings of concern about where your children or
grandchildren are and what they are doing is replaced with a desire
to join them. Are they playing in the kid's video game room or play
area in the lodge or will you find them on a hike, swimming, playing
basketball, fishing, mountain biking, or playing tennis or golf? In
the winter they will often be snowboarding on the slopes or on the
tubing run so tracking them down will be a little easier. Still,
here at Wolf Laurel the easiest way to find your children is to
either look out your balcony or ask a neighbor. We all pull together
in these mountains and our resort area has the old-time atmosphere
of small village living in a big mountain community.
Particularly For Asheville Area Residents & Those Of You Planning To
Move Here
(10) Is your daily Asheville
work commute getting you down?
– How well we remember the daily grind. You leave the office
around 5:00 and then battle the stress of traffic jams, traffic
lights and backed-up merging lanes until you turn into your home
neighborhood. On many days, the frustration of the commute actually
exceeds the job stress and this can destroy your entire evening at
home. What’s worse, you know you have to do this again tomorrow and
the next day and the next....
(11) Are
you ready to consider a positive change in lifestyle?
– Imagine a peaceful commute home without a single stoplight and one stop
sign after leaving downtown Asheville. Your frustrating views of
stalled traffic are replaced with scenic mountain vistas as you are
transported by 4 and 6 lane freeway to a world away from and above
downtown Asheville.
We suggest you
time the drive from home to work and from work to home at rush hour
and then compare your travel time each way to the drive to and from
Wolf Laurel. You may discover the time spent in commuting will be
far less with a home in our high mountain resort community than from
the popular South Asheville suburban communities.
(12) Do you really love
the mountains and desire to make this place your home? Are you
the type of person who enjoys our mountains for more than just the
magnificent views and closeness to nature? If these beautiful
natural surroundings do provide you the sense of peace, freedom and
quiet enjoyment you are seeking, then consider the opportunities
here. But remember, true peace follows a quiet respect for those
who might be a little different from you, with freedom comes
responsibility and quiet enjoyment sometimes is best obtained by the
laid back attitude and lifestyle you will find here with your new
Carolina mountain neighbors.
So Did you
Pass My High Mountain Lifestyle Quiz?
If you answered yes to 9 or
more questions, then you pass the quiz in my book. Contact me for
more information about our high mountain resort area. Then you
can better decide if our ski resort and high mountain real estate
opportunities consisting of a wide range of properties slope side,
ski in and ski out, and with views are something you should come up
and visit in our new ground floor opportunity here in the peaks of
our mountains. We will set a date and appointment and I'll show you
the new ski lodge, the ski slopes and the many other amenities
available thorough the different resorts and clubs here in the Wolf
Laurel area.

remember my warning. You just might decide to stay forever!
