🌿 Borders USFS Land 🚤 Income-Producing Marina 🏔 Long-Range Mountain Views 🎣 Excellent Fishing & Recreation 📍 Murphy, North Carolina
A true legacy property in the heart of the North Carolina mountains.
My parents purchased this marina in 1955 when in only consisted of 10 open slips and 10 sets of lockers which fishermen needed to keep their fishing tackle in. The original location was in Hiwassee Lake Resort which later than became Bear Paw. Then it would have been similar to a Norman Rockwell painting when we had a less complicated lifestyle. They wanted the marina to be open 6mo and close when the lake levels dropped. In 1974 they decided to move it out of the cove at mile marker #2 and closer to their home near mile marker #3. The home they built on top of the mountain above the marina is where my mother lived until 2-10-22 when she passed away. Pictured above along with me are my grandsons.
Here, you’ll find not just a place to dock your boat, but a legacy built on family, friendship, and a love for the lake. The physical location is 400 Harbor Cove Lane with our email address being lisa@harborcovemarina.com Take a moment to ” Like Us” on Facebook to see Harbor Cove Marina updated photos.
