Originally from WNC and still have family there.

Word of caution to those who want to retire there. What happens quite frequently is that newly retired couples build a big or well appointed house and then leave after about 10 yrs so they can be closer to their children/grandkids. Sometimes an age related health issue or death is the impetus.

To an outsider land in WNC is generally viewed as inexpensive. Building costs are a little high because builders, for decades, have known that out-of-state retirees generally have a lot of $.

So with land being relatively cheap and plentiful it can be difficult to sell ones "unique" retirement home when outsiders have their own designs for their "retirement home".

Hope this makes sense.
