NC Mountain Properties - Area Highlights
Why the Mountains of Western North Carolina?
Every region and community has its unique gifts and challenges. In Western North Carolina, one of those gifts is our extraordinary, rich heritage of handcraft. As we explored how to bolster our economy and preserve that heritage, we considered our geography and how our land is used. Our region, by itself, is larger than eight states in the continental U.S.
