A Smoky Mountain community of creatives, retirees and outdoorsy locals
Brasstown is a small community of nature lovers and creatives on the western edge of the North Carolina Smokies. "Brasstown is small enough that you get to know everyone. But it also has a giant aspect of having things like the Fall Festival that brings in 1,000 artists and people," says Valori Cassel, an area local and seasoned broker with BIG Realty. The community is a part of Clay County and Cherokee County, which include several townships and regionally-known locations. "Brasstown is more like a community inside of Hayesville or Murphy. We have little townships within towns," Cassel says. "It's a beautiful little place, but it's tiny. It's like you're in your own little world." Locals stay connected through a calendar of year-round community and outdoor events. "There is a lot of art in Brasstown that's condensed into this little community," Cassel says. The community has an active Facebook group with daily posts featuring community activities, local shops and photos admiring the landscape. "Many residents work in Murphy and Hayesville. But most people that move here are retired. But we've had a new group move in since Covid, but they work from home," Cassel says.

Shopping at the Brasstown Farmer's Market and eating at The Crown
Cassel says that Brasstown doesn't have a grocery store, and the only gas station in the community closed a while ago. However, locals still gather at the corner of the old station for get-togethers. "You're not far from Hayesville or Murphy. You can get to an Ingles Market [grocery store] within 15 minutes," Cassel says. Brasstown Farmer's Market is open for a few hours on Wednesdays. Night markets occur once a month at The Crown Restaurant. Here, buyers can find wood crafts, handmade art, baked goods and flowers. "The Crown is somewhat of an oddity. The restaurant owners pride themselves in organic and good-for-you food," Cassel says.
Brasstown Farmer's Market is open on Wednesday's from 9am to 1pm.

Folk School and the Pumpkin Chunkin Festival
“The [John C. Campbell] Folk School is there, and it’s amazing. They have everything from square dancing to festivals. It’s like a cultural hub inside an Appalachian paradise,” Cassel says. The schools provides classes for cooking, gardening, woodworking and blacksmithing. “Lots of local artists have little studios. You can take classes and make your own pottery,” Cassel adds. Pumpkin Chunkin Festival, hosted by a local Brasstown family, runs every fall. “It has turned into this giant thing. They create these huge catapults to see who can toss the pumpkins the furthest. It’s really fun,” Cassel says.
Brasstown homes include chalets and cabins.
The rolling hillsides in Brasstown offer far-off views of the verdant highlands. Most homes are elevated on stilts and have front porches. "There are lots of chalets and tons of cabins. There are builders and many lots to build a new cabin to have a gorgeous view," Cassel says. Homes from the 20th century often range in price between $120,000 and $530,000, depending on the structure's condition and property size. Homes from the last 25 years range from $430,000 to $660,000.
A popular house style in Brasstown is the chalets.

Fun on the Hiwassee River, Brasstown Community Center and Tri County Racetrack
Locals are close to hiking trails and fishing along the Hiwassee River. Next to the Brasstown Community Center is an open field and small play area. The center hosts art classes and a summer concert series. Musical acts include local string bands and bluegrass singers. The Tri County Racetrack is a hot spot for dirt track racing on Saturdays and the occasional monster truck show. "They have kid races and demolition derbies. Everybody from Murphy and Hayesville goes there. It's really fun," Cassel says.
