The thing about mountain homes is the variety of their designs.
While we usually think of rustic styling for residences in the high country, the truth is that affluent retirees, second-home owners and baby-boomers have tastes as varied as their backgrounds and budgets.
They can be as lavish as they wish. Or as simple.
Some community lovers favor the traditional look of stone, timber and beams. Others want to replicate the look – maybe bigger, maybe smaller – of their former homes with extravagant architecture boasting arches, many levels and sprawling accommodations. In contrast, there are finely honed, more modest variations on the traditional but long-ago log cabins of yesterday. And a few designs even forsake the mountain look entirely and fit themselves to the scenery around them.
In reality, it’s simple.
Whatever is quaint, whatever is charming, whatever works for homeowners who often have more than a single home, you’ll find it and more in the Southern mountains.
