Our Mountains

The Blue Ridge Mountains run from south-central Pennsylvania to the south and west. In southern North Carolina this high eastern ridges turn west, and continues into North Georgia. The Blue Ridge Range comprises the majority of the Appalachian Mountains, a loose-knit series of mountain ranges that extend from Maine to Alabama and include portions of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

West of the Blue Ridge range is a second series of mountains that runs from West Central North Carolina to Fannin County, Georgia. In Georgia, this range is known as the Cohuttas (further north they are called the Smoky Mountains). The Cohuttas and the Great Smokies are part of the Blue Ridge province, yet they are actually geologically distinct from the Blue Ridge Mountain Range and are quite a bit older. The Cohutta Wilderness Management Area contains approximately 95,000 acres and is the largest national forest wilderness in the Eastern United States.

Much of the land on and surrounding these ranges are national forest an incredible amenity for those that are fortunate enough to own a piece of this beautiful land.
