Clay County, North Carolina

Service tier: Exceptional Properties by RequestBack to all communities

Tucked against the Georgia line, Clay County trades crowds for the quiet of Lake Chatuge, Nantahala National Forest ridges and a craft tradition a century old.

About Clay County

Clay County is one of North Carolina's smallest counties, and much of it lies within the Nantahala National Forest. What remains is Hayesville, a courthouse-square town on the Hiwassee River, the open water of Lake Chatuge along the Georgia line, and the quiet valleys of Tusquittee and Brasstown, where the John C. Campbell Folk School has anchored the region's craft heritage since 1925.

Jennifer takes on a Clay County listing or buyer by request, when the property itself is exceptional: a lakefront estate on Chatuge with long water views, a high-country retreat bordering national forest near Fires Creek, or a creekside homestead in the Tusquittee Valley.
