Located near the beautiful Lake Lure, Bill’s Mountain is a Vista community with 800 acres of spectacular views of the NC Blue Ridge Mountains.

With convenient access to all of Western North Carolina’s treasures, this quiet mountain property was developed for those who appreciate the best that life has to offer.

So what makes this place the best? Besides the mountains, it’s your personalized home design, of course!

As the year is coming to a close and 2023 is rushing up toward us, we all are looking for a change. It could be a change in our work/life balances, health goals, or even in how we decorate our homes. You may feel the desire for a fresh start in your home. If so, we've got you covered! Here are some predicted interior design trends for 2023.

Keep in mind, trends can be a guideline to make your home feel revitalized. But these trends shouldn't be the end-all for your personal home design. Adopt what you like and disregard what you don't.

Having a home to yourself is all about making it your own. So go out there and decorate for the new year!

If you ever have sat down and pondered about your future, the visualization of your dream home has probably come to you a time or two. You may have pictured your house deeply secluded in the woods or in that cookie-cutter neighborhood you've always dreamed of.

But what you may not have wondered about was the square footage of your home, and today, we want to provide you with a few things to remember before you purchase a big home. 

Kitchens are undoubtedly one of the most important rooms in a home. They are the place where food is prepped for family, friends, and guests to enjoy. New recipes are invented and old family recipes are recreated in this space.

A house can't really be a home without a good kitchen. If you are planning your dream home or in the process of building a new home in Western North Carolina, you probably have a number of layouts already in your mind.

Black and white designs are a century-long trend that will never go out of style. Whether it’s interior or exterior design, black and white will always give your space an elegant and classy feel. 

Now that the kids have grown and flown the coop, you’ve decided your big house just doesn’t make sense anymore. Or maybe, life is steering you in a different direction as you follow your dreams to live simply in a house with less square footage.

Having an open floor plan continues to be the desired layout for people shopping for homes in the housing market. Not only does an open-floor concept feel open and airy, but it gives the illusion of more square footage.

Spring is the best time to sell a house. Buyers are geared up for the hunt, energized by all the things that make this time of year so motivating: the warmer weather, the budding trees, and the aura of newness the season imparts.

Working from home is more popular than ever. You’re saving money on fuel and travel expenses, you’ve got more time now that you’re not commuting, and you can work at your desk in your favorite pair of lounge pants.
