Two Story American Four Square being framed

The residents of Cadence Point say it's quiet and peaceful here, like living in the country, but just over a mile to the Courthouse at the intersection of Broad & Main, the heart of Brevard.

In the morning they see deer pass through the woods, across the almost 12 acre property, but I don't have a photo to show you....yet. I did see a group of five deer run through Cadence Point when it was completely wooded, so I'm glad to hear they've returned, if only passing through.

Land of Waterfalls ~ Brevard & Transylvania County, NC

Thinking about coming to the mountains of North Carolina? Imagine what you'd be doing or where you'd be going if you were stepping out your front door.....check out the new tourism website to learn more about what visiting & living here has to offer and sign up for their newsletter for updates on events & press releases to help you better plan your trip: http://www.visitwaterfalls.com/

FYI ~ The Mountain Song Festival was a tremendous success! Well produced, well attended, great music, great venue. Be sure to make plans ahead for next year's fun fund-raising event for the Boys & Girls Club of Transylvania County. You'll have a blast!

As above, so below

We're going vertical....here are a few photos of the work in progress....the Grove, one of the Charleston inspired, 'free-standing townhomes' in the center of Cadence Circle, is being framed and the foundation of the Maple on the hill, one of the craftsman style homes, is being laid....we expect to have both completed by or before April of next year. Both designs reflect Brevard's architectural history.

Accompanying this change of altitude, are cool evenings and mornings, suggesting the beginning of the change of seasons. Check back for updates of current conditions and predictions from the National Forests of North Carolina, http://www.cs.unca.edu/nfsnc/.
Here's their Weekly Fall Color Update 08/28/09:
"Year in and year out, the last two weeks in October are usually the best time to view fall colors on the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. However, due to the wide variations in elevation and the incredible diversity of tree species, it is not unusual for "leaf lookers" to start seeing the first hint of fall color in the the Southern Appalachians higher elevations ( above 5,000 feet) in late September and early October.
In October, as nighttime temperatures drop and light frosts occur, fall color usually starts showing up on exposed ridgelines and works its way down to the mountain valleys by the end of October. Good color can often linger in the valleys and protected south facing slopes well into November."

Mountain Song Festival

The Brevard Music Center's season has ended, but the venue will soon go live with the Mountain Song Festival, September 11 - 12, the 4th annual music event that benefits The Boys & Girls Club of Transylvania County. The festival has drawn some of the best performers in bluegrass and acoustical music, including the legendary Doc Watson. Returning to the stage this year, following last year's surprise performance, Steve Martin will be playing banjo with host band, the Steep Canyon Rangers. To find out who else is performing & more go to: http://www.mountainsongfestival.com/.

this will make a cool weekend to visit Brevard. while you're here, check out the construction underway at Cadence Point!
