Asheville, NC January , 2010
Exploring LAND in the Asheville area mountains is always exciting. It is particularly so in the winter after a snowstorm. But, when land is for sale by owner, my curiosity propels me. Add in an element of anticipation and you have a very alluring adventure.
Yesterday I ventured out to see if I could get a few winter shots of such a property.Traveling east from Asheville, I turned the volume up on Kathy Mattea's Definitive Collection CD . She was singing, "...I'll be halfway to Asheville...." It's been awhile since I've seen Carolina, it always was pretty this time of year...." and I was singing along... at the top of my voice...the way you can when you are speeding along the Interstate ...solo...
Before I knew it, I was turning off I-40 and on to the road that would take me to the land for sale by 
owner.
The road was clear, but there remained evidence of the storm- - trees fallen and debris.
Still the air was crisp and the sky was deep Carolina Blue, so , attentively, I nosed my way around the winding mountain road called North Haven where the owner of this land promised a jewel to behold.
Here is an eco-development on over 1,000 acres where sustainable innovation is evident.
The road was cleared and only a few places had me holding my breath as I looked over the edge of the road into the distance. Just to clarify that- I was holding my breath because it was so beautiful ... (see photo)
I hoped to find "Nestled In" that very special parcel of land for sale by owner I sought. . .to be continued
