Hiwassee is a private, farming community

Amid the Blue Ridge Mountains, the small agricultural community of Hiwassee offers private living with access to outdoor activities. Part of Pulaski County, which was established in 1839, this region is known for its vast farmland, forests and mountain peaks. Hiwassee also sits next to the New River, which weaves through the landscape to Claytor Lake.

Hiking and biking trails, nearby playground

The New River Trail is a 57-mile hiking path that follows abandoned railroad tracks. Parking for the trail is available in Hiwassee along state Route 693. The New River that borders the community is deep enough to support boating and kayaking. There’s also Harry E. O'Dell Memorial Park nearby, which offers a playground and a multipurpose field. Just to the south, the Hoover Mountain Bike Complex features 4 miles of mountain biking trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. The Blue Ridge Mountains that dominate the region also boast an additional 150 miles of hiking trails.

Homes with land, waterfront properties available

There are older Craftsman homes and newer ranch-style houses available. Properties are scattered throughout and typically come with 5 to 10 acres of land. There’s also a small number of waterfront homes along the New River, some of which feature private boat docks. Homes tend to sell for $180,000 to $300,000, though waterfront homes can cost more.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
