Property Description

Create your own private mountain retreat in Western NC, surrounded by over 600 acres of protected land owned by the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy—ensuring lasting privacy, peaceful surroundings, and preserved views for generations to come. Set at 3,000 feet elevation at the end of North Turkey Creek Rd, this 2 bed, 2 bath home sits on 10.12 wooded acres with meandering trails, spring-fed streams, and multiple potential homesites—ideal for a guest cottage, family compound, or short-term rental cabins. Originally built as a “Y2K bunker,” the concrete construction offers exceptional durability and natural insulation, complemented by solar panels and a 1,500-gallon holding tank previously connected to a spring. Inside, the main level features two bedrooms and a full bath, with one bedroom doubling as a light-filled sunroom with French doors. The open living and kitchen area is anchored by a cozy woodstove. The finished lower level (approx. 739 sq ft) includes a full bath and private exterior entrance, offering flexible space for a guest suite, studio, or home office (not included in main HLA due to separate access). Unique details throughout include a built-in reading nook, river stone flooring accents, a hand-painted ceiling, and a beautifully tiled hearth wall. A 590 sq ft outbuilding with loft adds even more versatility—perfect as a workshop, studio, garage, or potential additional living space. Recent updates include fresh paint and reinforcement on the partially covered deck, fresh interior paint, and improved exterior drainage. Whether you’re seeking a quiet, self-sufficient lifestyle, exploring permaculture, or envisioning a wellness retreat, this property offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special. AWD is HIGHLY recommended. 35 minutes to Asheville | 30 minutes to Marshall | 50 minutes to Hot Springs
