lost in the woods away from people
I'm now in Clay County, NC. Got 5 acres on a mountain surrounded by trees. No noise, no neighbors. low taxes. The county has one 'city', the county seat with a population of 311 and dropping. The county has ONE black family and only two traffic lights. Lakes and rivers. You'd like it.
It looks perfect. We're a single income family and I'm trying to pay cash so it's over my price range. But wow, lovely area! Looks like you found one of the last places that are awesome.
We shopped NC and SC for three years, and snagged our house + cabin for $40k! Emergency sale. Paid half down and finished it off in two years, so, no mortgage. Pretty nice for retirement.
But, we used to live in SC, and we would ride all over the state googy-eyed at the wonderful decorative architecture. Here in western NC, there is no attractive historical architecture. Hillbillies had cabins and shacks. So, what we do is drive around and admire the scenery. Scenery here is mighty fine.
