Off the Grid and Outta Sight
A couple builds a secret (& green) hideaway in the mountains of North Carolina

There is getting away, and then there is getting away – from civilization, from everything.
When
real estate developer Ted Prosser and his wife, Sharon, first started
snooping around the Asheville, N.C., area for land on which they could
build a timber frame cabin, they knew they wanted something private and
serene. Then they stumbled upon a piece of pristine property on Bear
Lake, located high up in the mountains – an area surrounded by a chain
of lakes and thousands of acres of national forest. With less than a
dozen houses built on the 476-acre lake, the spot promised a good dose
of tranquility.
“Most bodies of water are clustered with
houses and development,” says Ted. “But this was a beautiful, rustic,
underdeveloped piece of land with long, beautiful coves and fingers
surrounded by red oak and white pine trees. It was just what we wanted.” |
