The extensive Nottely River frontage is the star of the show, offering direct access for fishing, kayaking, tubing or simply enjoying the natural beauty and tranquility of the water. Properties with this much water-adjacent land in Murphy NC are extremely scarce--especially with such gentle, buildable topography.
