In the heart of the mountains of Western North Carolina,, lies an unusually "high valley" community named, Sims Valley. At the turn of the century this hidden valley was a homestead to one family. Its surrounding ridge lines look across 35-40 miles of beautiful vistas into the Great Smoky Mountains . Centrally located near the mountain communities of Cashiers and Highlands, Sims Valley is near everything you need or would want out of a mountain gated community.
The nearby town of Cashiers North Carolina has unique mountain plateaus not often seen in the Appalachians, with rock formations rising up to 5,000 feet. At 3485 feet above sea level, Cashiers offer an unequaled "feel" of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The higher elevation offers a cooler climate to escape the heat of summer, yet the winters are mild with perhaps a few snowy days to enjoy the beauty of winter without the hassles of long term snow and ice.
Highlands North Carolina is at an elevation of 4,118 feet,and boasts a range of biological diversity with scenic mountain vistas and abundant unpolluted watersheds. With over 250 waterfalls in the surrounding area nature is right out your back door. Some of Highlands most visited waterfalls are Bridal Veil, Dry Falls, Bust Your Butt, and Cullasaja which are located on Hwy. 64 between Highlands and Franklin. Then there is Glen Falls which is located on Hwy 106 toward Dillard.
Abound with cascading waterfalls, magnificent Lake Glenville, emerald green valleys and rock faced mountains, and the Nantahala National Forest, who wouldn't wat to call it home?
Enjoy the beauty and tranquility this valley has to offer. Sims Valley is for those who want to leave behind life as usual and experience the mountains for themselves in a delightful living environment.

Thanks JaneAnne, isn't western North Carolina Great! Thanks for making it a feature! I'm a bit new to this and don't know how to do that for someone. perhaps you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks Kim I lived in Blue Ridge for seven years myself. Great town! We now are here in Clay County NC, Hayesville. A bit smaller than Blue Ridge but we like it. Sims Valley is in Cashiers. A friend of mine has this development. It is a beautiful place too. I just love our mountains!!
Pat, You should visit. If you like hiking and waterfalls you can make a whole vacation of just that we have so many!
Karen, Thanks, I just learned how to shrink the photos and line them up on the blog. Makes a huge difference in the presentation.
What gorgeous pictures! We live in a nice area too, but we're dryer and closer to desert. That looks so green and pretty.
Hey Leslie, Yes the past two summers even we got a little dry. But normailly it is VERY green here. I've lived from California to the Caymen Islands but this is home to me!
Great pictures - very attractive layout. Nice to meet a "neighbor" on these pages -
Gary: What a view.. this is beautiful country side. Makes one want to go visit.
Gary: Sorry.. looks like I was not logged into my account with the above commet.
Hi Gary -- the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I think this would be both the ideal for a local agent to both unwind as well as strategize about future business model concepts to reenergize their business.
