Christmas, 2011 - Gifts from the Mountain - The Cove at Celo Mountain

GIFTS FROM THE MOUNTAIN
to your family through the generations  

Your legacy begins  

 Designed and built locally in the time-honored tradition of American craftsmanship at its best

Two major events are happening up on Celo this December.  

Foxwood, the first 2 bedroom/2 bath Cabin/Cottage at Celo has a projected December 25 completion date. (The first 2 Cabins at Celo are built and sold as 1 bedroom and 1 bedroom with loft.) In addition, there is an unfinished level in Foxwood with a separate entrance that could easily be made into another bedroom, bath, sitting area and storage space - for you to complete at your convenience (or we will do it for you.) This pre-construction price listed includes land, septic, and well.  While we are Voice-Over and Internet ready (all utilities are in and underground, and we will have fiber optics before Asheville!),this is a perfect time to disconnect from the world at-large in order to reconnect with your family and friends.  Come back to our simple way of life in these wonderful, small American home towns in the High Country of the Blue Ridge.  Unwind.  Relax in front of the roaring fire of your cabin in the mountains before heading out for your favorite mountain sport or event.

Speaking of favorite events, the TRAC (Toe River Arts Council) Open Studio Tour - touted as the Premier Open Studio Tour in America - will be held December 2, 3, and 4.  Drive through the breathtaking scenery of this Blue Ridge Parkway area (or sign up for a guided tour) to the studios from which our celebrated arts and crafts movement of Western North Carolina originates. Many of our artists are internationally or nationally acclaimed, are designated NC Living Treasures, and have their works in the Smithsonian.  We are also home to the world-renowned Penland School of Crafts, which is also on the tour.  Choose heritage gifts, made by some of America's foremost artisans, that will be treasured through the generations.

While all of these Handmade In America gifts are made for a lifetime of enjoyment, if you choose Woodrock, the spec home now beginning on a 1.32 acre estate lot, you will have the option of participating in the ground-up building of your 3 bedroom/4bath home, if you so choose, with a completion date of spring, 2012.

Make this holiday season unique in beginning your own legacy of giving the gift of American handmade craft.  The umbrella organization of our Toe River Arts Council, Handmade in America, says it best.

Come back home for Christmas.  Your mountains await you.
