Pat,
I probably already live in a very nice area. The mountains are beautiful and peaceful. I would love to find a place in NC like I describe without the natural disasters. I'm not quite 60 but am sort of retired. Not rich by any standards but enough to get by. I want to work as I've said in other posts but there's nothing here. No places to play music either and any serious medical requires a "Life Flight" to Asheville. The move doesn't need to be immediate. Until my wife and I are 65 and getting Medicare I need to stay a resident of NC for the Health Insurance. My wife has a pre existing condition. Can't reall afford two houses.




My son tells me that there is quite an active music scene in Charlotte. Lots of people commute from Lake Norman. I also hear the Charlotte economy is fairly strong.
