We want to retire, find a cabin in the mountains and live a quiet peacefull life. We love animals and mountains.
Any suggestions as to nice towns? We're going to Murphy N.C. in May to check it out.
We relocated to Bryson City last year and love it here. If you are looking for a retirement home in the mountains, this is a very beautiful area. We are close to the Great Smoky Mountain Park and are surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. There seems to be quite a large community of retirees here. We have not retired yet but have gotten to know quite a few of the retirees here. They are active and healthy and happy. Life here is peaceful and calm. The cost of living isn't bad depending on where you are moving from. We moved from Texas and found homeowners and car insurance to be half of what we had paid before. The taxes on our home are very low compared to what we were paying. While you are checking things out, take a drive to Bryson City from Murphy. If nothing else, you will enjoy the drive along the beautiful Nantahala River!
Try somewhere in Henderson County, it's peaceful, pretty, in the mountains but you're also not far from Asheville or Greenville, SC which are awesome towns.
Lenoir is absolutely wonderful. We retired here from Florida and never regret it...Low taxes, beautiful environment, friendly people. You can get a lot of house here for the price you would pay in FL. The Blue Ridge Parkway is 20 minutes from Lenoir and as you are in the foothills, the weather is not as bad as Blowing Rock and Boone... You have all the ammenities with better weather as it is a 20 minute ride to get to towns. Lots of Overseas companies are moving their businesses to Lenoir.. They know through market research that Lenoir is the place to be...
