Last year, High Country Press introduced readers to High Country Green Boxes’ DwellBox, the first permanent inter-modal steel building unit (ISBU) residential home in North Carolina. The brainchild of local entrepreneurs and partners Casey Pond, Ethan Anderson and Jeffrey Scott—collectively known as High Country Green Boxes LLC—the DwellBox certainly struck a nerve in the national and international communities. In the last year, more than 750,000 interested people have clicked to the website, even though the partners have not conducted any marketing.

The High Country Association of Realtors released statistics on Tuesday, August 11, for residential homes sold through the end of July. When compared with earlier months this year, the numbers indicate a gradual improvement in residential sales in the area, as well as in the median sold price of residential properties.
But the recovery has still not caught up to last year’s numbers. In July, the number of residential units sold was down 25.2 percent from the same time last year and the median sold price for residential property was down 6.8 percent.
Thursday evening’s auction of the historic Green Park Inn in Blowing Rock didn’t go the way its owner, Ronnie Wrenn, and the auctioneers hoped it would.
Auctioneer Mark Rogers started the bidding at $5 million for the century-old resort hotel and the 3.8 acres that it sits on. Looks like bidding is up to $1.2 Million
Heavenly Mountain to become sustainability center by: Scott Nicholson— Development of a 2,000-acre property in that once was planned as a spiritual retreat is shifting toward sustainability and affordable renewable technology.
David Kaplan, along with his brother Earl Kaplan, are planning an advanced development that uses latest research to combine solar and wind energy with contemporary green building techniques to offer affordable and sustainable houses. Kaplan said he had the goal of establishing the property as the “Center for Sustainability” in the United States.
Kaplan formerly owned thousands of acres in the southwestern corner of Watauga County, which was planned as Heavenly Mountain Resort and at one time was associated with the Transcendental Meditation movement. Kaplan broke ties with the group about five years ago and eventually sold about 6,000 acres to the Ginn Company for the Laurelmor Development. That property has since been sold again after the Ginn Company faced foreclosure.
