Live the Life You Choose Video: Rural Living in WNC

Описание: Of the many different ways to live in Western North Carolina, one way is uniquely woven into our history: the rural lifestyle. We describe the rural lifestyle as living outside the city limits on three or more acres of minimally restricted land. The rural lifestyle offers unparalleled opportunities for connection with nature, stewardship of the land, and living a self-reliant, outdoor lifestyle.

Our neighbors who enjoy the rural lifestyle would tell you that it means room to spread out, to create their own space and way of living, and to live in a way that has been valued for hundreds of years.

“We bought a farm soon after we got married,” says Rick Merrill. “And as the kids started coming along, and they enjoyed horses, we were boarding horses. And it became clear to us that to have the full experience of having children growing up with horses, we needed to have a bigger farm. And we needed to have the pastures and all. So I bought this land in 1980, and we built the road and cleared the fields and dug the pond. And then in 1985, we built the house. And it was a great way to raise kids—Right here on the farm, taking care of horses, learning responsibility. Once I got here to Western North Carolina, I realized I didn't want to be anywhere else. This place is just so special. The scenery, the people, the pace of life, and it all fit.”

“It's very important for us to see that our children grow up in the way in life we did,” says Billy Taylor. “Flipping rocks over in the creek, finding a salamander, getting up in the top of a tree and looking down or up to see what's there. Just getting back to the old way of life, away from the video games and the TV.”

“The nurturing of an animal is a responsibility every kid should have,” says Rick. “It makes them realize that there are things more important than themselves and that they have to respect and care for an animal. I particularly enjoy growing vegetables. And that's an art form in itself, and it's very, very satisfying. Part of the rural way of life.”

There's a space in rural Western North Carolina for raising horses, raising gardens, or just raising yourself to the peace and quiet every morning.

“You know, it's so nice when you're having a long day at work, you can just ease out here with its close proximity to downtown Asheville,” says Billy. “Catch a fish and relax and spend the day. These beautiful mountain trout, rainbows and browns, put up a really great fight here. Nothing like catching one on a fly rod.”

People living out share their property with the deer, turkeys, and other forms of North Carolina wildlife that are our common visitors, but rarely ever a bother. If you appreciate having room to spread out, enjoy a quieter, slower pace of life, and want to nurture the land, then the rural lifestyle may be the fit for you.
