23-acre turnkey off-grid luxury cabin with Blue Ridge Mountain views.
Offering long-range panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this 23-acre fully fenced retreat combines absolute privacy, luxury comfort, and true off-grid independence. Two gated entrances offer privacy and convenience, with private roads (some gravel, some dirt). At the top you will find peace and abundant nature, with the quiet songs of birds in the morning, gentle breezes and sunshine during the day, and the chorus of peepers and frogs under breathtaking night skies alive with stars, constellations, and shooting stars. This ideal location keeps summers in the South cool with elevation, and winters are warmer than the neighbors thanks to abundant southern exposure. Wildlife is part of each day with black bears, deer, turkey, foxes, raccoons, skunks, marmots, snapping turtles, and coyotes roaming freely through the orchard.
The main cabin has been completely remodeled as of August 2025. It is custom-built with premium finishes and can be sold fully furnished. Property will be shown by appointment only and sold directly by the owner, who engineered and built everything here. All systems will be clearly explained and demonstrated by the owner.
