Based in Murphy. Hayesville, Andrews, Robbinsville, and Franklin.
Based in Murphy, NC, we build in Hayesville, Andrews, Robbinsville, and Franklin. Those towns sit in Cherokee, Clay, Graham, and Macon counties. Murphy is home base. The license does not change from town to town. The land and the county office do.
Murphy is our base and the county seat of Cherokee County. Lots here run from Hiwassee Lake and the river valleys up onto ridge ground.
Our home base
Hayesville is the seat of Clay County, about 15 miles east of Murphy on US-64, near Lake Chatuge. The drive is about 20 minutes when the road is clear.
About Hayesville
Andrews sits in the Valley River valley, about 15 to 16 miles northeast of Murphy. The drive is about 20 minutes on US-19/74/129.
About Andrews
Robbinsville is the seat of Graham County, about 37 miles from Murphy, just under an hour by US-19/74/129. The terrain is steep, toward Fontana Lake and the Nantahala.
About Robbinsville
Franklin is the seat of Macon County, about 49 miles east of Murphy on US-64, around an hour in ordinary traffic. The Nantahala National Forest closes in around the valley.
About FranklinTell us the town and what the ground is like. We will say whether it is work we can take on.
This is where Rollins Construction Inc. is based, and it is the town we know the most closely. Hiwassee Lake, the Hiwassee River, and the Valley River set the ground people ask us to walk: lake-area lots, valley benches, and ridges off the US-64 and US-19 corridors.
A custom home here starts with that lot. The house is custom home building. When the slope is the question, the next conversation is excavation and grading.
Lake Chatuge is the landmark most Clay County calls mention, along with the ridges around the water. A gentle lake lot and a tract that falls away from the road need different pads, even when the house idea is the same.
Permits go through Clay County, not Cherokee County. We pull them for the projects we build. The house scope is still custom home building.
Valley-floor ground and the ridges above it are both in this part of Cherokee County. The valley can hold water. A ridge can offer the view and then charge for it in grade and truck access. Western Carolina Regional Airport, just west of town, is a landmark people use when they describe a parcel.
Andrews uses the same Cherokee County building office as Murphy. The lot is not the same lot. We walk it before we treat a plan as final. Start with custom homes or the site work.
Graham County is the part of our area where the lot most often decides the house. Lake Santeetlah, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, and the Cherohala Skyway are in this county, and Fontana Lake lies in the same region. We do not quote a drive time to the water. We look at the parcel you actually have.
Permits go through Graham County. If the ground is the worry, read excavation and grading and land clearing and road building.
Franklin sits on the Little Tennessee River. River-bottom ground and a cove lot up a forest road ask for different foundations. An hour from Murphy is still our service area, and it is far enough that the site visit has to count.
Permits go through Macon County. The work is a custom home and the site work that belongs with it, by a builder based in Murphy.
