Mount Soma
Welcome to Mount Soma in Clyde!
A North Carolina Vedic Community
The drive from Asheville to Mount Soma, a stunning 435-acre community in the mountains of Clyde, becomes scenic very quickly as the rolling hills off the highway lead to the backdrop of the bucolic Blue Ridge Mountains. While the drive up to the top of Mount Soma is not nearly as steep or winding as some mountain enclaves, once you're there, you'll feel like you're on top of the world. With breathtaking views around each gentle curve, you'll see unique and modern homes nestled into the natural beauty and you might even feel something in the air that is at the same time peaceful and energetic.
Founded in 2005 with the mission to help bring peace and harmony to the planet by integrating ancient spiritual wisdom with modern life, this Vedic community draws visitors from around the world. Vastu architecture is incorporated into each aspect of Mount Soma's development, bringing out the inherent balance of nature to facilitate healthy and harmonious living. Vastu is a time-honored architectural science from the Himalayas and is the predecessor Feng Shui from the Chinese tradition.
Created as an educational, cultural, economic and spiritual bridge unifying all of mankind, there are several community features in Mount Soma including the Sri Somesvara Temple, Visitor Center, Student Union, Meditation Hall and several parks and walking and hiking trails throughout the property.
"Mount Soma is beautiful! The community is one of kind, generous and caring neighbors. There is an undeniable sense of powerful serenity up there, sometimes palpable even to newcomers. Each season brings its own beauty, and the surrounding views from certain vantage points are just gorgeous!"
- Sarah Pinkall, former Mount Soma resident and Firefly Realty client.
Firefly Realty has served both buyer and seller clients at Mount Soma, with existing homes as well as vacant land sales and we are honored to be connected with this community. Our experience has made us familiar with the unique spiritual essence of the area as well as the more technical logistics of the Homeowners Association and community guidelines. We welcome you to visit the list of resources below and invite you to call us if you are interested in relocating to gorgeous Mount Soma, or if you have property to sell there.
There are countless gorgeous homes in the mountains of Western North Carolina that the Firefly Realty team gets to see every day, whether it's a stunning modern downtown Asheville condo, a rural property overlooking an apple orchard near Hendersonville, or a home with views of the French Broad River in Marshall. Of all of the beauty that we see, Mount Soma never fails to impress us throughout the year, and we are truly grateful for all of the residents, past and present, who have trusted us with their business.
