Anyone Near Murphy, NC?

Not to Hijack your thread but wife and I are looking for places to retire. On paper Murphy looks good. Housing reasonable. Climate, and scenic, near lakes, but we haven't traveled there yet. Possibly this spring. Met someone locally a while back who was with the police in Murphy. Said it was a nice place but not getting that from comments here. Would appreciate any input.
You might be in luck,I have 1 acre lot in Natahala Acres in Topton NC. which is close by. I've owned it for 40 years. Never did anything with it. PM me so we don't clog up this thread.
