Tuckasegee Mobile Homes & Double-Wides for Sale

Tuckasegee, a community in North Carolina, has a few spelling variations, but most agree that the term comes from a Cherokee word meaning "place of the turtle." The verdant area sits within the Blue Ridge Mountains, with an elevation of around 2,100 feet. The Tuckasegee River, known locally as the "Tuck," winds through the community. The area attracts those looking to live in the countryside with lower property taxes. "Our tax base has been very reasonable here, an estimated half [of North Carolina's average property rate]," says Patricia Stanberry, a Jackson County Chamber Ambassador, as well as the broker and owner of Apple Realty LLC. "But they are revamping everything in Jackson [County] too. They've gone up on our tax base and adjusted the millage." The community includes several cottages and chalets with mountain views. Generally, these homes feature wood siding and front porches. Over half of the residences sold are on lots larger than 2 acres. Some properties are suitable for keeping horses. The majority of move-in-ready houses range in price from $350,000 to $800,000. Lots containing manufactured homes cost between $230,000 and $350,000. Condos in Bear Lake Reserve range
