“Many men go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish that they are after.”
Henry David Thoreau
Louan Gideon will easily share with you that the most important things in her life are spiritual growth and study, quality family time, creativity in arts and music and enjoying a healthy lifestyle. “I have yet to find a place that supports me in these particular principles better than Western North Carolina. Add the incredible beauty, exceptional restaurants and vast array of outdoor activities and you have my idea of the perfect place to live.” i
Upon graduating from Baylor University, the native Texan moved to Dallas and spent the better part of three years traveling the world on business. She ultimately landed in Manhattan and over the next four years worked steadily as a television actress as well as enjoying a sideline as a Master of Ceremonies for several Fortune 500 Corporate events across the U.S.
Following that, Gideon moved to Beverly Hills where she continued her work in the entertainment industry for 16 years. In 2003 she joined the Sunset Strip office of Coldwell Banker and brokered high-end Westside real estate including the areas of West Hollywood, the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, Pacific Palisades and Malibu.
Since relocating her real estate practice to Asheville in 2006, friends and past clients began calling to enquire about investment opportunities in the surrounding areas. “I found that I could really provide a valuable personal service when it came to answering their questions regarding the luxury communities nearby, so I thought, why not make this my prime area of focus?” she says.
For those clients not interested in these particular communities, she created LuxuryAsheville.com, for buyers and sellers in and around the city of Asheville.
Louan lives on a mountainside outside Asheville with her family and their dog, Duhdley. She also writes children’s books containing environmental and life lessons.

Hello Ken...
My name is Louan Gideon and I work in real estate here in Asheville. i live in Swannanoa, where Tiger's course, High Carolina, will be...in fact, we can see the mountain where they are developing it from our deck. I moved here a year and a half ago form Beverly Hills, CA, and cannot say enough good things about where we live now and the tremendously friendly nature of the people, the beauty of the surroundings, and the creativity of this area. Though I am not an agent at The Cliffs, they are one of the communities that will be represented on my new website, CarolinaLuxuryMountainProperties.com. The website has not gone live yet...probably around the first of May...but I have researched and chosen what I consider to e "the best of the best" of luxury communities surrounding Asheville and The Cliffs certainly have all the credentials and amenities to put them into the top echelon of places to live, I believe. If you would like t call me and hear more about Swannanoa, I'll be hapy to tell you. Louan: 828-318-4844 - Thu Apr 17 2008, 11:24
