Where IS The Cove at Celo Mountain?

THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN is located between Asheville and Boone, NC - just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, America's Favorite Drive. Read the accolades and media awards below about this as you keep in mind that 19E is being made into a 4-lane from I-26 (out of Asheville) through Burnsville, past THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN through to Boone.

And that is more - much more - than just names.  Historically, the value of land or place has been determined by its location.  To help you understand that THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN sits smack dab in the middle of some of the most highly touted real estate in America, I thought I would give you a few highlights of what surrounds this emerging premier gated sanctuary setting.

ASHEVILLE - has been on Top Places to Retire for years.  It has been and is the retreat of high-profile movie stars, writers, and politicians.  2011 was no different in the numerous media awards and accolades garnered by this jewel of the Blue Ridge.  Here are just a few:
