Macon County...specifically Franklin and Highlands North Carolina, has the most waterfalls per square mile than any other place in North Carolina. Thereto, we have more floura species than the Amazon Rain Forest. Springs, creeks and lakes can be found on most every property and create a lush, spring and summer season...and an even more beautiful Fall and snow-dusted Winter season.<br /><br />The jet-stream dip causes this special climate and is created from the regions geographically dominate, Appalachian Mountain Range, which are the oldest mountains in the world...and eons ago, used to be taller than the Himalayans. The water found in WNC is a sought after commodity makes any real estate property or investment property quite valuable. Let alone the fact that this region is the only place in North America one can find Rubies. Sapphires, Emeralds, Gold and other gemstones and minerals are quite easily found in the creeks.<br /><br />For more information on investment Real Estate Properties in WNC...<br /><br />contact Evelyn Owens at<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">evelyn@sellingfranklin.com</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">http://www.sellingfranklin.com<br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1735134523520782872-6527042824492845781?l=sellingfranklin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Evelyn Owens | Keller Williams | Franklin NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09093842967601840469noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735134523520782872.post-80929758677745043132008-06-12T19:11:00.000-07:002008-06-12T19:57:21.276-07:00<pre style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Franklin, NC....in the Southern Appalachian escarpment of the Blue Ridge</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Mountains,<br />has many natural resources to boast, such as naturally</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> occurring rubies, sapphires,<br />gold and emeralds.
