Why Here?
The pristine mountain views, the quiet, calm atmosphere, and the uninterrupted green settings provide plenty of benefits of their own. But you may not realize that there are also other benefits of mountain living. And be sure to keep an eye on this space in the future, as we bring you resources, tips & useful information about staying fit, living well, and enjoying life to the fullest.
Less Pollution
Historically, “mountain air” has been prescribed as a remedy for many ailments, most notably for patients with breathing problems related to lung disease or asthma. The reason? There’s little to no bumper-to-bumper traffic, which results in fuel pollution in the air within big cities. There's no traffic or people congestion to contend with daily, and residents will have plenty of room to breathe. This is an absolute truth in Cashiers and the surrounding communities, where traffic is scarce enough to warrant only two stoplights in what’s known as “downtown.”
Less Stress
Living in the mountains offers more than just clean air, though. With a more laid back approach to life, you’ll find there’s far more peace and tranquility than stress. Simply being in such close, constant proximity to nature can have a soothing effect on how your feel overall.
Nature at Your Back Door
There’s been a big grass-roots movement of late in which people are rediscovering their roots, and learning what it means to live more closely tied to the land, the things they produce and the things they consume. From organic vegetables to sustainable and reclaimed building materials, it’s clear that sometimes looking to the past is the way forward.
When visiting in the mountains, the best of nature is offered to your family at every turn. Spending time here gives you an opportunity to teach your children about living among nature and help them develop skills and knowledge that many city kids miss out on growing up.
With all this, maybe the question isn't why should you visit Cashiers, but rather -- why wouldn't you?
