This has been one of the most spectacular falls I have seen since we moved to the Cashiers/Highlands area 11 years ago.  Just when I thought the color had peaked in mid October, it continued on into November!  It made me think of the postcard above that I had sent out to all of my real estate clients a while back and made me realize just how lucky I am to have landed here.  This in turn inspired me to start my blog which is something I have been meaning to do since February.  So here I am writing my first blog and what I want to convey to my readers is just how wonderful it is to have a place here in the mountains where the scenery is always changing.  Each season has its perks.  Spring brings us the beautiful flowering Rhododenrums, Mountain Laurel and Flame Azaleas.  Summer is the reason most people find our area.  They are looking for a place to beat the heat and with our average temperatures reaching on average in the low 80’s, there is no complaints.  Fall of course brings us the gorgeous colors and reminds us that God has truly blessed us.  Winter if we are lucky will bring us about 10 snow falls which quickly melt away.   The best part of all is that it refreshes the scenery bringing to our attention views that were before hidden by the leaves.  Winter is the best time of the year to buy vacant land when you can see your view potential and how the property lies.  This year is especially a great time to buy as vacant land sales have been down due to an influx of homes on the market.  In the past 18 months, we have seen many buyers who would have normally bought a piece of land to build on choose to buy an existing home because it was cheaper than building.  The tables have turned so to speak with many builders looking for work and land prices being competitive, it is a great time to buy and build or buy and hold.  Prices won’t get any better than this.  Visit our website below to view all of the area listings in Highlands, Cashiers, Sapphire Valley & Lake Toxaway area and get in on owning your own slice of heaven!
