Owning a piece of Fraser's Ridge
I got a brochure in the mail yesterday advertising land for sale (very cheap -- these are foreclosure properties, being liquidated in the next couple of weeks) in Linville Falls, NC, in the mountains, very close to the area where Fraser's Ridge is supposed to be located.
Among other things, they're advertising a "wooded property on a mountain stream with a 1,200 square foot log cabin package" for $59,900. (The "package" apparently means they deliver all the building materials for said log cabin to the site, and you build it yourself. <g>)
Unfortunately, the only web site I found is this one, which looks like just a scanned-in copy of the front of the brochure. But if you take a close look at the pictures, it really does look just like the Ridge, complete with trout stream nearby. <g> (If you want a better view, look at this site, which is offering similar deals on land in the same area, and has some very nice pictures.)
I'm very amused by the idea of the do-it-yourself log cabin. Not that I would actually build one myself, not in a million years! But I can't help wondering what Jamie would think of the idea of assembling a cabin from pre-fabricated parts like that. (No doubt it would save a LOT of work, not having to cut your own logs and all.)
