Let’s talk about many of the advantages of moving and living in Western North Carolina and Murphy! Many clients have come from that area below Georgia: Florida. You know many of the lovely folks from the great state of Florida began their life somewhere up north! That’s why they are referred to as Halfbacks! While a few locals are a bit leery of folks moving to the area from Florida, most realize it’s good for the local economy. Florida folks don’t come to change the way of life here, Florida folks come to live the life locals have enjoyed for years! A small town, mild winters, and a slower pace to life are just some of the reasons to locate here. The taxes are most often lower, people are friendly, home and car insurance are less and so is the traffic! All these things, and so many more reasons, are why folks from Florida, and actually from all over this great country, move to our small community.
I hope you’re checking my website: Your Mountain Dreams it’s there that you can search the area for current homes and land for sale. It’s more current and up to date than Zillow!

Terrific barn and wonderful folks will take you on an experience you will never forget. All these stables will offer ALL LEVEL OF RIDERS a fun time!
I always like to make sure you have the list of waterfalls that you and your family and friends can experience while in our area. Some are easy access and some require a bit of a hike. All are worth the effort! 10 Georgia Waterfalls
I am reminded that these areas near the falls can become dangerous when we have rain like we have received this past week or so. Be cautious and heed the warnings when visiting all the falls in the area. The rivers can be swift in a short amount of time! But the flip side to all the rain is that the falls are running at super strength and they are magnificent!
Keep in mind we have farm markets every Saturday in several locations (Murphy and Blairsville) and car racing on a dirt track most Friday nights. The rodeo should be coming to Hayesville in July. We have many fine eateries (that are chef owned) and beautiful shops and boutiques to explore. Most wineries have LIVE music to be enjoyed too! The area folks welcome you warmly and try their best to make your time in our mountains, a time to remember!
