865 Camp Creek Rd - Solar-Powered Hilltop Retreat on 23+ Acres in Murphy, NC Discover your private mountain sanctuary at the top of the hill-where quality construction meets the untouched beauty of North Carolina's forests. This 1600+ sq ft solar-powered home is nestled on 23.12 acres of mature hardwoods and thriving Hemlocks-over 400 have been treated and protected from the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, ensuring a vibrant forest canopy for years to come. Wander through your own wooded wonderland, where two picturesque creeks, mossy rock outcrops, and a natural spring set the scene for peace and renewal. In spring and summer, the land bursts with native wildflowers-including dwarf crested iris, trillium, showy orchis, pink lady's slipper, and flame azalea. A majestic red oak on the property has more than 80 growth rings, telling the story of decades of natural beauty. The home is built to last, with 2x6 wall construction, 8-inch poured basement walls, hurricane ties at wall and truss connections, and Energy Trusses (16" on center) constructed of #1 lumber. The efficiency is unmatched-R-19 insulation in upstairs walls, R-15 in the basement, and an incredible R-64 in the attic-keeping the home naturally cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The exterior boasts James Hardie siding and an MBCI Lok-Seam metal roof for long-lasting protection. Step inside to 10-foot ceilings and abundant natural light powered by your 4,000-watt solar array (with capacity for more), paired with a 500' well for pure mountain water. Every detail, from the hurricane ties to the thoughtful placement of windows, is designed for resilience, comfort, and connection to nature. Whether you dream of a private homestead, an eco-conscious retreat, or a nature lover's paradise, 865 Camp Creek Rd offers it all-sustainable living, unmatched privacy, and the kind of natural beauty you can't find just anywhere.
