Meadows in the Woods, Reems Creek Weaverville


Meadows in the woods was one of the first developments in the Reems Creek area that did selective cutting (only for roads and house pads). The development entrance is on the left here, right before the Reems Creek "fishing" lakes (they have a sign now that says "no fishing"). Also see the beautiful fall colors on the mountains. This area is absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful.

The Weaverville North Carolina Mountain Views


I was at the bottom of Main Street in Weaverville, right below the elementary school, looked to my left, Reems Creek below (see the road), looked up and saw the awe of the mountains. Beautiful. I think that is the Balcrank plant below, in this low spot. This photo was taken with none other than my faithful Blackberry!

Turkeys Arrive Early 4 Thanksgiving in Weaverville


Driving down the road in Weaverville could be very eventful. I have almost hit several bears, deer, turkeys, chickens, and even a cow one day right down the road from this photo. Possums and Racoons are normal, and become the neighborhood roadkill many times, lol. I remember this lady I was driving with one day hit a Possum, pulled over, and tried to revive the dead thing. I was rolling! Here are some wild turkeys just roaming around Hamburg Mountain Rd in Weaverville NC.

Main Street Weaverville North Carolina


Okay... let me tell you where I am. I am on the corner of Hamburg Mountain Road and Main Street in Weaverville North Carolina. I can turn left here and take a winding road up and down to Reems Creek. As you look ahead here, you see the Preservation Hall on the left, with a Church, library, and Blue Mountain Pizza after. Look at the mountains in the skyline. Absolutely beautiful. The perfect little Town of Weaverville!

Brand new building in Weaverville, available

When we all saw these two buildings going up in Weaverville, we were pretty excited. Then the market dropped, and this job quickly turned into a ghost project. Several other buildings were planned to go up behind these two road front structures, but I believe they have been put on hold. Coldwell Banker was supposed to occupy the building next to this, but forfeited it. Our friend Sherrie Puffer from Keller Williams holds the listing on this property. You can contact her at http://www.sherriepuffer.com/.

When the giant mountain fires happened last year off of Reems Creek, they were the first ones there . Thank you Reems Creek Fire Department! http://www.reeemscreekfd.com/

Madison Sheriff makes arrest in Buncombe

Madison County Sheriffs had to "cross the line" to make this arrest. This is at the Weaverville Ingles on Weaver Blvd. Seems like detectives held the man until the police arrived.

North Asheville Wal-Mart Coming Soon

Here is a quick pic of the new Wal-Mart that is under construction in Weaverville North Carolina. The Lowe's building is also under construction to the left of this photo and will be completed first (or so it seems). As soon as Wal-Mart opens, this whole Weaverville area will change, mostly for the better. Most locals are excited, but there is always that group that is against anything changing. This is about 10% of the community which is pretty good considering some of the other places that Wal-Mart tried to go and got "booted".
