Welcome
This sophisticated rustic Log Home shows a tasteful use of natural materials combined with refined wood, polished granite and delightful fixtures.
The Logs
You will notice the beautiful 12”, 14”, and 16” round accent logs are hand peeled and are used as accents around the house.
9” round Barna Logs are used in the construction.
The View
The views wrap around the home on all sides. The house orients to the most dramatic sightings with a 270° degree long range view, but the remainder of the 360° degree view is pastoral and mountainous.
The Setting
This small neighborhood, The Glens of Ironduff, provides easy year round access with paved streets and year round neighbors as well. The knoll top setting shows off the house to its’ best advantage. The wide open views surround the house. There is small but charming creek on the border of the property in a peaceful wooded ravine of big oaks.
The 2.419 acres affords privacy as well as views. The house overlooks a neighbor but no houses feel like they overlook this home. There are neighbors but not right on top of each other.
In General
The quality of construction is evident in all areas of the home. The Barna Logs are upgraded to 9 inch round logs. The thermal pane windows on the main level are sliders that can be opened up like a screen room. There is a Mission theme that runs through out; that seems to blend with the logs without being too fussy. Solid wood beams and hand peeled accent posts offer support in some of the most visible areas of the home. The foyer makes a grand statement and is reminiscent of an indoor forest. The natural tone of the massive log trees adds a unique quality through out.

The Fireplace
The fireplace is masonry hand built for use with wood or as a gas log burning fireplace. This masonry construction is hard to find in today’s new construction. The unit is equipped with a turn key for the gas (off or on). There is the option to remove the gas logs and burn wood, according to the owner. The fireplace is constructed of stacked stone from the floor to the ceiling, up two stories high.
The Kitchen
A very large area encompasses the kitchen and dining. Heavily beamed ceilings, windows to the view, and French doors to the porch open the kitchen to the outdoors. The gas grill connections are conveniently located on the porch. Much thought went into the design and function of the kitchen.

Surprise! Housing Starts Surge (So how is Maggie Valley?)
WASHINGTON -- Housing construction posted a surprisingly large increase in February, bolstered by strength in all parts of the country except the West. While the surge in construction was far better than the continued decline economists had expected, experts viewed the rebound as a temporary gain given all the problems the housing industry still faces. The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that construction of new homes and apartments jumped 22.2 percent in February compared with January, pushing total activity to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 583,000 units. (By Martin Crutsinger - The Associated Press) (Haywood County, NC) Maggie Valley has not seen the effects of this new construction surge. Many of these new starts appear to be in the rental/apartment sector. That is not the focus of our construction industry. We are focused on resort/second home sales. We previewed a beautiful new Log construction in the Cove, today on caravan priced in the $600,000's. It is about 2/3 complete at this time.

What does this Market Really Mean in Maggie Valley Real Estate?
Market Analysis: Are you Behind the Curve? As we have been hearing on the news; prices are falling in real estate. Appraisals are coming in lower. The market is different than it has ever been before. What does that really mean? It is shocking. It means that the value/price/sales price/list price of a house or property for sale is actually going down each month it is for sale. This means that if you have real estate for sale and the price is too high; then you are behind the curve and losing ground daily. Every month (or year) that goes by - the gap between ‘what the properties are going to sell for’ and the ‘list price’ gets wider. Creating a scenario in which it is increasingly difficult to get an offer. The obvious solution is to drastically reduce the price to create an environment where an offer may come in. The list price needs to be within 6% of the realistic sales price. As time moves along, the spread between the list price and the sales price widens. That creates the need for a substantial price reduction. This is not the experience that we have seen in past years. In the past, prices went up over time. That made things easier. If you wanted more for your house – all you had to do was wait and the prices would rise; eventually reaching the asking price. These were the ‘good old days’. Waiting will only make this problem worse - since we are not waiting for prices to go up; but rather for them to go down.
If you want to sell your property, it is important that this concept be fully understood. Rather than waiting until a low offer comes in, and trying to explain all of this in the moment; it seems like a good idea to discuss it in advance. This information is not what any one wants to hear. If you are one of the people that needs to sell or that must sell – then this information is essential. If you are one of the sellers that do not have to sell or you are attached to the price; then this is not what you want to hear, but it may not affect your decision. These two scenarios are creating essentially two markets – one that is competitively priced and the other market that is not. The discrepancy between the two markets is becoming more evident. We are making sales – over 1000 homes sold in Haywood County last year. Only the houses that are competitively priced are selling. The real estate agent is responsible for marketing the property, but the buyers will decide which ones are competitively priced and which one to make an offer on. The seller is responsible for creating an environment that encourages offers. It is my belief that if you want to sell, then it can done. My Marketing Plan is as strong as any you will find. It generates inquiries and gets the word out. The buyers are very conservative right now and they will not over pay. They are shopping around and know what is on the market – now – not last year. There are many choices for them. They are real buyers and they will buy. Now is a great time to buy. Low interest rates, great prices and a large inventory create a perfect market for buyers. And the activity is apparent for the competitive properties. Offers are being made and properties are selling.Labels: Maggie Valley, Maggie Valley real estate, real estate agent, Waynesville MLS

Billions and Billions (updated)
Billion Dollars - How much is a Billion? (see updates from Snopes.com)
The next time you hear a politician use the word “Billion” in a casual manner, think about this: A Billion (1,000,000,000) is a difficult number to comprehend, but here is some perspective for you:
1. A Billion seconds ago it was 1959.
2. A Billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
3. A Billion hours ago our ancestors were doing absolutely nothing!
4. A Billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
5. A Billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it! - YUP, that’s right - our government is hard at work spending your hard-earned tax dollars at the tune of $2.88 BILLION PER DAY!
When checking with www.snopes.com specifically http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/trivia/billions.asp
The actual numbers are a little different – in some cases worse – but in all cases still impressive. Check it out.
1. A Billion seconds ago it was 1959. / Actually 31.7 years or 1977.
2. A Billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. / Actually 1,901 years AGO or 107 AD.
3. A Billion hours ago our ancestors were doing absolutely nothing!/ Actually 114,000 years ago or the ‘Old Stone Age’.
4. A Billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. / 2.74 million years ago, about when the genus Homo appeared in Africa.
5. A Billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes / Actually worse … it is double that amount. When these calculations were first made the annual budget was $1 trillion; it now exceeds $2 trillion. So 4 hours and 10 minutes to spend a Billion Dollars.
While this thought is still fresh in our brains, let’s take a look at New Orleans. It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple long division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number, what does it mean?
A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516,528.
B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.
According to Snopes.com these calculations are pretty accurate – just a little difference.
Washington, D.C. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??
What can I do?
I have been writing my US congressmen/women and US Senators; also my State and local Representatives. Of interest is that it is really hard to find an email address for them and then sometimes they do not work!
My goal has been to request that they not implement any more new sources of revenue, no new appropriations, and no new legislation that must be funded. STOP SPENDING More THAN they HAVE.
If they do vote for new legislation, then I request that it be to LOWER our TAXES.
Good Addresses to find our representatives:
