While there are hundreds of real estate properties available in the North Carolina Mountains, the supply is scarce for the kind of homesites that Sims Valley has made available. In 1895 the Sims family established a homestead on the welcoming acreage that has come to be known as Sims Valley. Now, in the manner and spirit of the generations of these pioneering souls, your family can settle on a piece of this spectacular mountain property establishing your own home place that will nurture your family generation after generation with the clear mountain air, the deep red sunsets and the whisper of the breeze through Sims valley pines.

 

Occurring only occasionally in nature, "high valleys" have all the attributes of lush, flat-bottomed environments. The elevation is higher than typical mountain lowlands, but one can enjoy long-range vistas normally only found on ridge or mountain-top settings. Such is the case with Sims Valley, captured on three sides by ridges and Pilot Mountain, which offers terrific views from the highest and lowest elevations.

 

Views from the valley floor are enabled by the missing northern rim of the valley, which long ago plunged around 1,000' feet into the large Tuckasegee Valley below. The pleasantries of cooler summer temperatures and soft seasonal breezes are additional benefits.

 

The vision for Sims Valley is to provide access to authentic mountain family experiences with the romance of genuine peace and quiet, free of the intrusions of traffic and pretentious resort activity. Nearby, and very convenient, are some of the best mountain recreational opportunities, environmental and cultural assets available in the Southeast. Privacy and convenience, along with a high level of service and comfort, are the foundation of Sims Valley.

 

Sims Valley's heartbeat will be about relationships and times of "togetherness" - whether between husband and wife, or parents and children. The community is not designed for people seeking lots of club activity and social functions. That is a mind-set far removed from Sims Valley. Instead, the emphasis is on the simple pleasures – whether it is just taking in a view, admiring the beauty of the leaves changing color in the fall, having a picnic, going for a swim or perhaps roasting marshmallows with some friends.

 

The hope of the community planners is that generations of friendships will emerge from like-minded people attracted to this unique setting.

 

A Sims Valley Caretaker
Few mountain communities come with a resident caretaker to look after the absentee needs of those who own retreats in the community and guide those in residence. Sims Valley has such a person, Dennis Ford - whose duties ultimately will be defined by the Homeowners Association. Dennis is available in the near term for responsibilities ranging from sales to providing new owners with tips on where to find the best rafting trips or hiking trails or what architects and builders they should consider. His presence and availability on-site will provide comfort to those building year-round or vacation homes.

 

Homesite Accessability
All homesites have existing driveway access and prepared vistas, so there are few questions about the siting and build ability of a home. Few mountain communities provide this degree of disclosure that in turn instills a much higher level of confidence with regard to making the decision to purchase.

 

Privacy
All homesites are precisely positioned for maximum views and privacy from other homesites.

 

Water and Septic
Water is provided by a community system and each homesite will be permitted for septic.

 

Everything is Underway
All Sims Valley amenities and facilities are either in place or under contract. There are no questions about what may or may not occur.

 

 

A family named Sims found and homesteaded this hidden valley at the turn of the century. Willis and Laura Sims built a hand-hewn homestead, now being restored in the same spot. They raised their six children on this piece of land while tending a herd of cattle and goats grazing on opposite sides of the valley. The Sims spent summers getting ready to survive the winters, tending the herds, planting, harvesting, and canning the results. The architectural style of the farmstead evolved with elements of Victorian ornamentation with its gables, eaves and porches.
