Wolf
Creek Ranch
| From
the moment you step foot off your back porch at Wolf
Creek Ranch, you are greeted with the opportunity
to go anywhere and do anything. Each waking moment
at Wolf Creek Ranch allows you to let your imagination
run wild, breathe in every ounce of perfect mountain
air, soak up the magnificent sunrises and sunsets,
or just simply take in the beautiful views. It is
from here, at the perfect altitude, that you will
be content, knowing you are free to do whatever you
please. Wake up early to catch the mountain sunrise
and then head to Hurricane Creek and fish for trout
to your heart’s desire. Spend hours hiking the
hundreds of beautiful trails through thousands of
acres in the adjacent Pisgah National Forest. Ride
horseback through the Appalachian Trails, the Blue
Ridge Mountains or the miles of trails surrounding
your property. Relax in solitude by the waterfall,
as the only sounds you will hear are the tranquil
flowing water, the birds singing, and the wind gently
swaying through the trees. Dine al fresco, Appalachian
style in either of the two picnic shelters encompassed
in the property. |

Tell
tales and roast marshmallows around a traditional fire
pit overlooking the National Forest. However you choose
to you spend your days here at Wolf Creek Ranch, perhaps
the greatest comfort of living here is knowing you can
do absolutely nothing at all – while still enjoying
the beautiful vistas you will find from every acre of
the property. We realize you want to get away from the
typical, and knowing the sparseness of perfect land such
as this, we promise to keep 53 acres of the development
exactly as it is today, so you and your family can enjoy
it for generations to come.

Cold
Mountain
Cold
Mountain is about creating the modern rural
life. It always bothered me that on Green
Acres, there had to be a choice between city
and country life. It made for memorable comedy,
but a lack of compromise rarely produces positive
results.
Most of us have lived in urban environments
and don’t want to give up the benefits
of urban life entirely. Yet, we crave a connection
to the beauty of rural living. I wanted to
manufacture a new option.

One
that didn’t compromise all of my competing
needs. Could I catch a trout on fly in the afternoon
then that evening, ten minutes away, attend the
theatre? Could a strong neighborhood feel be created
while integrating the natural beauty of the land
that has always been here? Yes, but only with the
best architecture, building materials and sustainable
practices.
The first thing you sense about the Cold Mountain
community and the land that surrounds it is how
long people have farmed, raised livestock and fished
here. The second is why we named it Cold Mountain.
It’s part of the contiguous mountain ridge
of the actual Cold Mountain, which at 6000ft dominates
the area skyline. Tucked into a beautiful valley
at elevations from 3000 to 4000 feet, our Cold Mountain
consists of extraordinary ever changing vistas,
mild temperate climates, functional flat mountain
meadows and the sounds of rushing rivers.
You get the feeling this land has always been pleasant-always
been beautiful. And lucky, including having the
good fortune of being part of the 500,000 acre Pisgah
National Forest; preserving in perpetuity the boundaries
of this valley.
So we start with the Pisgah, into which we drop
our 300 acre development, Cold Mountain. Much of
that acreage is common area for the community at
large. So now we have a park within a park. However,
the beauty of our Cold Mountain is that it’s
not isolated. You‚ are twelve min from Waynesville,
a town the L.A. Times just called a perfect blend
of mountain charm and sophistication. Asheville,
the larger city with all its resources is just under
a half-an-hour away. So we start with a shell of
pristine natural beauty that quickly connects with
a unique combination of city and town experiences.
Driving from Cold Mountain in any direction, the
fertile countryside laps up to the side of the road
and you realize you have the opportunity to be part
of what’s been here a long, long, time
