A Different Kind of Mountain Community (LOCALISM FEATURED)

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.
