Sycamore Cottages in Fletcher, NC come with completely maintenance-free yards. So we thought we’d celebrate that fact by pointing out five things you could do in the Asheville area in the same amount of time it takes most people to care for their lawn and garden:

• Drive to the Biltmore Estate and take an hour-and-a-half tour
• Get dinner and a pint at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co
• Follow the Blue Ridge Parkway to the swimming hole at Skinny Dip Falls
• Head out to Saint Paul Mountain Farms Vineyard in Hendersonville for a little live music and glass of local Riesling
• Make a homemade pizza from scratch in your brand new kitchen

How Long Does It Take to Mow a Lawn?

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, people who work on their yards spend an average of two hours every time they do it. Because the homes in the Sycamore Cottages planned community come with yards that have lawn maintenance taken care of, that’s two hours every week you get back to do things that are admittedly more fun than pushing a lawn mower.

Who Benefits From a Maintenance-Free Yard?

People with many different backgrounds are opting for the freedom of no yard work — like young professionals who just don’t have the time, people bit by the travel bug who are often out of town, and retirees who are committed to the idea of relaxation after retirement.

In addition to giving you some of your time back, the new construction homes at Sycamore Cottages offer amazing views of the Blue Ridge Mountains (thanks to their position at the top of a rise), a lovely Arts & Crafts design aesthetic, and, of course, quality construction from a builder who’s been creating communities in the Carolinas for more than 30 years.

And the best part is, Sycamore Cottage homes start in upper $190s making them truly affordable.
