Murphy, — the western gateway to Western North
Carolina... Murphy is gateway to a lot of things, Hiwassee Lake
to the east, the rugged mountains and Nantahala Gorge to the
north, hundreds of semi-secluded
summer abodes in Cherokee County and Chatuge Lake in Clay County
to the west.
Murphy, though a tad smaller in population (at least at the last
count) than Andrews, is not only the County Seat of
Cherokee County but appears to be its economic center.

With its nearly four dozen Realtors®
and other real
estate agents, it is obvious that here is where the real estate
deals are made. Waterfront property, as usual, is at a premium
but available. Waterfront homes are found not only around the
lake but along the Valley River, Nottely River,
Hiwassee River and the many of the many other tributaries. Not
just vacationers flock here; folks come here to live year-round but,
mostly, outside the borders of the town.
