Without seeming trite or cliché, I wonder where to begin to describe such an exquisite and powerful property. There is simply so much to say both about the quality of the land itself and the remarkable homes that Jim Atria has placed in immense natural splendor. Let?s start with the land itself. Set on the flank of xxxx? elevation Yellow Mountain just two miles west of the NC/TN state line and the Appalachian Trail, it is remarkable for what the developer eschewed. He began with 400+ acres but chose only to build five homes. Thus you?ll never see your neighbor ? any neighbor! That is remarkable forbearance for someone subject to the profit incentive. As a lover of the mountains I commend Jim Atria for his conservation. He has preserved our environment and you will appreciate it the moment you enter Yellow Mountain Preserve. But it gets better! Yellow Mountain Preserve is surrounded by thousands of acres of permanently protected public and conservation land like the Roan Mountain and Yellow Mountain Highlands. You can walk directly to the Appalachian Trail. One of the state?s finest trout streams, Roaring Creek lies at the base of Yellow Mountain Preserve and the North Toe River is also close. Yellow Mountain is a northern hardwood forest with old growth beech and oak groves. As you enter you?ll be impressed with something as simple as the road. At this elevation you will get winter?s snow in abundance. Because of the width designed into this road there is ample room to scrape a path out of the snow no matter how bad the storm. The base is solid both because he first seeded it with grass. You?ll never notice any ?pumping? or muddy breakthroughs so common in the mountains with less experienced grading contractors because he constructed it while dry. Observe the painstaking care of common areas along the roadway and gorgeous landscaping. It may not be evident at first but one thing you won?t see here are wires because of the underground utility infrastructure. Notice the pervading peace and quiet. Listen to subtle sounds of nature alone ? leaves rustling in the ubiquitous breeze of summer ? bare limbs whistling in the winds of winter. You hear nothing but wind and wildlife. See the atmosphere. Glimpse fibers of moisture, tendrils of mist hanging in air as you look west across the wide valley beneath the Appalachian Trail. Taste the air as you watch the clouds roil in afternoon?s sun. The unique Appalachian microclimate emerges and you?ll experience exquisite beauty. You?ll connect deeply with the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. And when you?ve experienced Yellow Mountain Preserve you?ll look no further. This home Jim calls ?The Pond Cabin?, so named for the stately ponds immediately below. A stout stream runs a serious of cascades through the property. In the center of the first pond shoots a flowering fountain high into the sky and falling makes a pleasing sound. You?ll feel its mist in the air. This particular home is set alongside the creek which feeds the ponds below and offers a large side deck and terrace to enjoy the endless falls above and below. When you walk out to enjoy the ponds at night you?ll find them pleasingly backlit. During the day, friends andListing originally posted at http
