It’s an Andy Griffith Kinda Day!
People often compare Western North Carolina, and Murphy in
particular, with the fictitious town of Mayberry and Andy Griffith. And while Murphy may seem like nothing more
than a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere, it has an unmistakable
charm and elegance that attracts many people from all over the country. It is true that we are situated 2 hours from
anywhere and some would say everywhere – that can be either a positive or
negative, depending on your outlook. For
those of us that have either grown up here or have chosen to move here, we like
to see that as a positive. Let me tell
you why: For the outdoorsman, this is
heaven on earth! We have streams,
creeks, rivers and lakes everywhere and hiking and fishing, kayaking and
canoeing. Whether you visit here or move
here, you could enjoy all this and more.
Do you like gardening? This is the
place for you! Rich, dark soil, perfect
for your family garden. And then you can
sell your fruits and vegetables at the farmer’s markets; If that appeals to
you, once again, this is the place for you!
Maybe you are looking for a quiet get-away, for either vacationing, part
time living or full time living. We have
an abundance of peace and quiet here. Just
ask anyone. Some would say it’s TOO
quiet, but if that’s what you are looking for, can it ever really be TOO
quiet? No, you won’t find Andy Griffith,
Aunt Bea or Opie wandering around the town square but you might meet some
colorful characters just like them. In
fact, now that I think about it, Murphy does resemble Mayberry and the town
Andy Griffith made popular. We like to
see that as a good thing around here.
From the mountains to the lakes, to the people that live here, Murphy
and Western North Carolina is HOME – nothing more, nothing less. But isn’t that just what you want when
planning a move? Somewhere to just call
HOME!
Enjoy the scenery!
