Property Description
Create your own sustainable paradise in Western NC, surrounded by over 600 acres owned by the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy, a natural buffer that ensures your view, your privacy, and your peace will endure for generations! Tucked away at the end of the magnificent valley that is North Turkey Creek Rd, find yourself feeling peaceful and grounded in this 2 bed, 2 bath home on 10.12 acres nestled at 3,000 feet elevation. Wooded and private, meandering trails lead to additional home sites, perfect for a guest cottage, family compound, or short-term rental cabins. Spring fed streams flow throughout the property, adding to its allure.
The home itself is a rare concrete build - made to last and naturally insulated, with solar panels on the roof for enhanced energy efficiency, and a 1500 gallon holding tank, previously connected to a spring. It was originally built as a "Y2K bunker"! The main level features 2 bedrooms and a full bath, with one of the rooms doubling as a glass enclosed sunroom with French doors. A charming woodstove keeps you cozy all winter in the open living and kitchen space. The finished lower level with full bath and separate exterior entrance adds approximately 739 sq ft of flexible space — ideal for a guest suite, studio, or home office (not included in main HLA due to exterior access).
Notice the special touches throughout the home, like the bedroom reading nook, river stone transitions in the floors, hand painted "sky" ceiling in the basement, and elegant tiled hearth wall. A 590sf outbuilding with loft space is perfect for a workshop or studio, or finish it out into additional living area. The barn doors also allow this building to be utilized as a garage!
Recent updates include newly reinforced and painted deck, partially covered for year round enjoyment, fresh paint throughout the home, and improved drainage on the exterior. Driveway has been recently graded and freshly graveled as well! Whether you simply seek a quiet and private lifestyle, have a mission for permaculture, or envision a wellness retreat, this 10 acre property offers a perfect blueprint.
