LOCAL

A new home in High Cove was recently featured on a tour of solar and green homes. The home is built of highly insulated SIPs panels, uses passive solar, and has a rainwater collection system. It features local materials such as hemlock siding, locust steps, and stonework by local craftsmen. The small size of the home required fewer materials to construct and will need less energy to heat and cool over its life.

High Cove is a new, green community that includes a forest preserve, organic farm site, and hiking trails along creeks and ridge tops. Development standards call for green homes that conserve energy and natural resources. High Cove is located in Mitchell County, less than an hour from downtown Asheville, near the renowned Penland School of Crafts, in an area alive with potters, woodworkers, and other artisans.
