Real Estate in the High Country of North Carolina

I'm finding that the real estate market is picking up suddenly in our beautiful area in the northwest corner of NC. The area we call the high country is essentially the three northwest most counties - Watauga, Avery and Ashe bordering respectively Tennessee and Virginia. Our eleveation is around 3000 - 5000' and it is cool and pleasant all summer unlike most of the sweltering southeast. We have fragrant hardwood forests and the full splendor of seasons. Real estate will always be a good investment in Boone/Blowing Rock, NC as it is a desirable destination all year long for the entire southeast. We visited here fifteen years ago from Chicago and once we discovered its sublime beauty we simply uprooted our five kids from school and moved here, never looking back. What a GREAT place to live!
