WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Your outdoor paradise to live, work, and enjoy.
REASONS TO LOVE
Western North Carolina is a secluded gem. From the top of Grandfather Mountain—an International Biosphere Reserve—to the bustling breweries in Asheville, to the small mountain towns filled with colorful shops and adventure, this area is truly unique. Here’s our list of top reasons to call this special place home.
The Biltmore
America’s largest private residence, the Biltmore in Asheville is truly one-of-a-kind and simply can’t be missed. Explore the 8,000 acres of gardens, wine, fields, and architecture and you can easily spend a few hours or a few days.
Best City for Dogs
Among other tops, Asheville, NC, is noted for being a top city for dog owners. It’s no wonder either. With pet-friendly restaurants, numerous parks, and hiking trails in our backyard, the area is a wonderful place for dog owners (and their pets) to call home.
Apples and More
Henderson County is North Carolina’s number 1 producer of apples—and is a top producer nationwide. With fall apple festivals, activities, and tasty treats, it’s so easy to fall in love with fall in the western North Carolina mountains.
Shopping Towns
You won’t be in want for shopping no matter where you go. While Asheville is Western North Carolina’s largest city, neighboring towns like Boone, Blowing Rock, Bryson City, Chimney Rock, Hendersonville, and Waynesville offer a local flair all their own.
Snowfall
You might be surprised to learn that several mountain town receive regular snowfall. At higher elevations like Mt. Mitchell and Beech Mountain, as much as 80+ inches of snow falls per year—as much snow as Buffalo, NY!
