Asheville Ranked a Top 10 Place to Retire in America



Our Asheville, NC area has consistently ranked among the top places to retire in America. The latest ranking comes from Bankrate, Inc, listing Asheville in the Top 10 Greatest Places to Retire in America. How could it not be? Can you imagine anything more beautiful than biking, hiking, walking or driving along America's Favorite Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway? There are the endless summer, spring and fall sports of canoeing, kayaking, tubing, fly fishing, horseback riding, hunting, and mountain climbing -to name a few. Winter, of course, has its own favored sports. Our celebrated arts and crafts movement boasts many nationally acclaimed artists (many within a few miles of The Cove at Celo Mountain.) We are also home to the world-renowned Penland School of Crafts. Our cutting-edge music scene will host the Moogfest October 29-31. Our wonderful organic farms that surround us provide us with incredible farm-to-table gourmet cuisine in award-winning restaurants to equal or best those of larger cities. Bankrate Inc. ranks Asheville a "budget-friendly locale with affordable homes - median price is $192,500." And the schools? Princeton Review and the New York Times have recognized local UNC-Asheville and Warren Wilson College as superior schools. One of the estate owners at The Cove at Celo Mountain has served as Chairman of the Board of Visitors for Warren Wilson College. Another has served as Chairman of the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina (headquartered in Asheville) for 3 years and on the board for 9 years - distributing over $1 Million through their Recession Relief Fund to local charities in 2009. Mission Hospital and its affiliates such as Blue Ridge Regional are award-winning hospitals.

Come back to the simple way of living - life lived close to the land - and still enjoy the"high quality of life to cost-of-living ratio" that our Asheville area has. We are doing our part at THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN to make this new lifestyle more affordable to you.
