Spanning over 655,000 acres across Tennessee and North Carolina, this vast protected wilderness offers endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, rafting, and exploring untouched nature.

A wrap-around deck provides stunning mountain views, while a nearby creek enhances the peaceful setting.

To ensure comfort and reliability, the home is equipped with a whole-home generator and a water filtration system, giving you peace of mind while living off the grid. Inside, the home boasts gorgeous quartz countertops, Anderson windows, a modern kitchen, and a cozy wood-burning stove—blending rustic charm with modern comfort. The main-level primary en-suite adds convenience, making this retreat as functional as it is beautiful. If you're searching for a completely off-grid lifestyle, where you can be self-sufficient and immersed in nature, this secluded mountain sanctuary is for you. With the Cherokee National Forest surrounding you, fresh air, wildlife, and adventure are part of everyday life—all while being just over an hour from Blue Ridge or Murphy, NC. If you're ready to embrace the peace, privacy, and simplicity of off-grid living, this is the perfect place to call home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
