Good thread, as it's precisely a matter we've discussed as we begin evaluating potential retirement locations in the Appalachian Mountain corridor in VA/NC/TN. One thing that concerned us was the amount of rain in Cashiers NC. Are there certain areas in the mountains that get a lot more rain for some reason?

There are micro-climates all throughout the Blue Ridge/Appalachians. The US64 corridor from Cashiers-Highlands on up through Brevard is almost rainforest-like with around 90 inches of rain per year. A place like Hendersonville on the hand which is just 20 miles NE of Brevard, receives just around 50 inches per year.

One thing that often doesn't get noticed by people looking for "mountain" real estate is that much of the higher elevation is protected parkland or similar. NC has far more residential options at higher elevation than TN.

Just back from a visit to the area and I can confirm your statement as correct. Admittedly we didn't cover much of TN - just the NE corner - but didn't see anywhere we'd want to live.
