As someone who grew up (basically) in the country, I can tell you no view beats the one of sprawling fields, miles of green, and breathtaking sunsets past miles and miles of wide open spaces. Naturally, that’s why many in North Carolina choose the more secluded country lifestyle. North Carolina is the perfect place to be not far from the city, but have a few acres of your own and that sense of serenity, peace, and quiet. If you need more convincing…these 14n pictures will do the trick.
