If you’re not familiar with Rutherford County you might like to do a
little research. Here’s a link for general area information Rutherford County Wiki. Rutherford
County is huge at ~566 square miles and diverse from Bostic to Batcave. The
County is comprised of 14 townships with names like: Golden Valley, Duncan’s
Creek, Logan’s Store, Cool Springs… these I’m told were areas that hosted post
offices, back when mail was delivered by horseback. Within those townships are
many communities. My husband and I live in Sunshine Community. Nearby, is
Washburn Community and Washburn’s Store, which actually is a store. You will
find more about it here Washburn’s Store be sure to
stop in if you head this way. At
Washburn Store you can buy anything from pickles, to hoop cheese, to a wood
cook stove, and a cast iron pan….
MyRutherford.com is packed full of
local information and don’t miss RutherfordTourism.com. The
chamber of Commerce will be of some benefit, perhaps you’d like to look at the
county demographics Rutherford County Chamber . And
in case you ran across the term Isothermal Weather region, here’s my favorite
explanation Thermal Belts in NC
You might like to see the Farmer’s Fresh Market,
or check out Community Links at the GoldenValley Blog. I’ve found
a couple of PBS films about the area and embedded them at the bottom of my real
estate blog. KDsFarm Sorry, my real estate blog is loading pretty slowly… I have too many
videos embedded in it. I need to get rid of a few, but which ones? McCallsRealEstate.com has not only our listings, but a
link to our visual tours and a permanent link to ALL of the Log Homes and
Cabins in the Rutherford County MLS.
Here’s a ROC link Explore, Exercise, Relax.
There are lots of things to do here, but most of my clients don’t come up to do
anything. In fact they come to do nothing. They just want to enjoy the peace
and solitude of a real mountain retreat, to feel the change of pace, to relax
and recharge. I think you’ll find, most of the time, once you get here, you’ll
never leave your property. We like to say we’re 20 miles from anywhere, and we
like it like that. The new Northgate Resort Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is opening in Golden Valley in 2018.
If you need to be near the center of activity, where there’s a lot
going on all the time, I can tell you, this will not suit you. We’re so far out
in the country the speed limit is 55 and NO stoplights. While there’s always
something going on, Kid Stuff, Arts and Crafts, Historical Places, Gold Mining,
the Bennett Car Museum and lots more, you’ll have to drive to get there. But, we like it like that. Maybe you will
too.
