Bill and Trisha Cason buy their Murphy NC Mountain Chalet from REMAX and The Poltrock Team

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Casons Win iPad (1)When we first started looking to buy a cabin, I came across the REMAX Poltrock Team in Murphy and really liked how they had the listings. Their website was very user friendly, which made it easier and more fun to navigate all the real estate for sale. When I talked to John, I was impressed by his knowledge and insight about the listings we were interested in. We felt like he was truly looking out for our best interest and not once did I feel like he was pushing just to make a sale or wanted to go on to the next client. At closing, he truly and fairly looked out for both the buyer and seller. Now, we have our very own chalet in the mountains!

I would recommend The Poltrock Team to anyone who is looking at real estate no matter what the purpose – whether buying, selling, or just wanting general information. we are very happy John was our Realtor and honored he is now a friend.

Tarheel Subdivision – a Mountain Community in Murphy NC – The perfect place to buy and sell real estate!

Posted by I Love Murphy on

The Tarheel Subdivision in Murphy, North Carolina is of of Cherokee County’s most established developments. With a a variety of different homes and land for sale in this community, it provides many options to buyers and sellers alike. Not only that, it’s the home of The Poltrock Team at REMAX!

 

Location

One of the most well know phrases in real estate is, “location, location, location.” Without a doubt, Tarheel’s location is one of its greatest assets. I tis located behind the Murphy Fire Department in downtown off of Talc Mine Road. Owners are able to enjoy the extremely close proximity to downtown without having to pay any Murphy City taxes.

When you speak with folks who live in Tarheel, you’ll notice that almost everyone mentions how you “feel like you’re in the woods and minutes from town.” Most of the residents can be in downtown Murphy in five minutes or less, depending on what section they are in.

Divisions

Tarheel is divided into several sections:

  • Tarheel North
  • Tarheel West
  • Tarheel South
  • Lover’s Leap

Residents

Tarheel conisists of a great group of folks. It boasts lots of full time residents (including The Poltrock Team! 🙂 With everything from attorneys to teachers to excavators, you get a great mix of folks. There are also a number of part time vacation homes in the mix.

Growth

One my favorite things about Tarheel is the fact that is bordered on one side by Murphy City Limits and by US Forest Service and Lake Hiwassee on the other. This prevents Tarheel from growing into a sprawling subdivision and keeps it what it is today.

Restrictions

Almost every land parcel in Tarheel is restricted preventing things such as mobile homes, random farm animals, junk, and more. Learn more about Deed Restrictions and how they work in Murphy NC. Many people looking to buy in Murphy like this fact as they do not have to worry about an undesireable home/junk being next to them.

Real Estate

Tarheel offers lots of options when it comes to buying real estate. When choosing land for sale, you have choices on everything from land tracts for sale to improved lots. Homes are also readily for sale beginning in the low 100’s all the way up to the 600+ range. There are some great oppotunities to find mountain real estate! Since Tarheel is not a “searchable” field in the Mountain Lakes MLS Search, email me at JohnPoltrock@gmail.com with “Tarheel” in the subject line and we’ll send you everything available for sale in Tarheel. We’re here for you! You can also see Our Listings to find those for sale in Tarheel.

Jim and Debbie Burch of Orlando FL are excited Murphy NC Land Buyers (and soon to be Murphy-onians!)

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Jim and Debbie Burch Recommend The Poltrock Team at REMAX in Murphy NC!Jim and Debbie Burch and their family just purchased an acreage tract of property and fully intend to move to Murphy, NC full time when they retire. They’re super folks and will make great neighbors! Here’s what they had to say about their experience buying land with The POLTROCK TEAM at REMAX Mountain Properties:

“We want to express how happy we are with the service we received from John & Jessica Poltrock in our recent purchase of a lot in Degatide Estates.

John made us feel as if we were his ONLY clients, or at least his most important ones.

His dedication and endless energy, his commitment to our best interest, and his willingness to help at ANY TIME OF DAY…. (and we did bother him at some odd hours!)…. is far above and beyond the level of service we are used to.

Although the purchase price of our lot was less than $30,000, we are SURE we got the same attention as someone spending 30 million. We never felt as if the purchase price was not worth his time.

Sadly enough, we did contact other agents in the area for information before we found The Poltrock Team. Many never bothered to return our call. The ones that did reply only sent us information on listings way outside the parameters of our search. They hadn’t hear a word we had said.

John and Jessica, however, have an uncanny knack of hearing between the lines, and were able to find EXACTLY what we were looking for. Funny thing about that is… we were somewhat undecided. I wanted mountain view, my wife wanted a creek. John showed us a lot with a high hill and possible seasonal view that ALSO has a beautiful creek.

We wonder still…. ‘How did he DO that?’

Our hats off to the amazing John and Jessica!”

High Mountain Elevation and Peaks of Cherokee County and Murphy, North Carolina NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Mountain View of the Appalachian Mountain RangeThe mountains of Murphy, North Carolina yield spectacular mountain views that can leave any mountain lover in sheer awe. In fact, I don’t think you can ever grow tired of the mountain views that God has blessed Western North Carolina with. We are asked a lot of questions about the elevations here, and here are some answers to the many questions we receive. If you have more, please be sure to email me at JohnPoltrock@gmail.com and we’ll help you any way we can.

Where is Murphy in relation to the North Carolina Mountains? Cherokee County is the westernmost county in North Carolina and has wide range of elevations. Murphy boasts the Appalachian Mountains and all the beauty they offer.

What’s the elevation of Murphy NC itself? Downtown Murphy is at one of the lowest elevations in the county at 1,600 feet. It is actually situated right by Hiwassee and Valley Rivers.

What’s the highest elevation? They highest part of the county is at two different points at 5,040 feet at the corners of Cherokee, Clay, and Macon counties and at the Cherokee, Graham, and Tennessee line. Many of the extremely high summits like these are part of US Forest Service Land.

At what elevation can I get great mountain views? This is a bit of a loaded question. There are SPECTACULAR mountain views at 2,000 feet. You can see for miles and in many cases see into Georgia and/or Tennessee at 2,000 feet. Anything above that is one of the greatest icings on the cake. Are you looking for properties that have great mountain views? Search our listings, the entire Murphy NC MLS System, or use our Dream Home Finder and we’ll send you the properties that fit your wishlist!

I don’t want to be at the top of the mountain – but I want views. What can I do? If you don’t want to be on a steep mountain, fear not! We can certainly find you a property that is lower elevation looking out at the mountains. That’s the beauty of Murphy – we’ve got views like this too!

Where can I find a map of the elevations in Murphy NC? We are blessed with a great mapping department. You can view and download the map of “Predominant Summits” in Cherokee County and Murphy NC by clicking the link. It’s a large PDF file at almost 20 MB, so please be patient during the download. I can assure you it’s worth the wait!
