Property Description

At the top of the mountain, where the road ends and the world quiets, this rare Blue Ridge retreat with long-range mountain views offers something truly exceptional. Set along a private ridgeline on 5 acres, the property delivers sweeping, 360-degree seasonal mountain views and an immersive sense of peace, clarity, and inspiration that’s increasingly hard to find. A detached studio (981 SF) with existing electric and water creates a rare opportunity for your imagination; guest house, private retreat space, or income-producing use. Immersed in privacy, this is more than a home, it’s a retreat, a creative escape, a place where time slows and ideas take shape. Inside, expansive picture windows fill the space with natural light while framing the surrounding mountains, seamlessly connecting indoors with the landscape beyond. Inviting decks offer the perfect setting for quiet mornings, evening stargazing, and uninterrupted stillness. Turnkey if desired, most furnishings and TV can be included, offering an effortless transition into mountain living. With no restrictions, the property is well-suited for a retreat setting, musician or artist studio, homestead, or private getaway. A new insulated outbuilding provides secure, airtight storage for equipment and seasonal items. An existing septic permit allows for expansion to an additional bedroom, while additional buildable areas offer further potential for thoughtful growth. High-speed fiber optic internet brings modern convenience to this private mountain setting. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Hot Springs, you’ll have access to natural mineral springs, the Appalachian Trail, hiking, waterfalls, swimming holes, rafting, and outdoor adventure. Asheville, NC and Knoxville, TN are both within reach, offering the ideal blend of peaceful mountain living and accessibility. A rare offering for those seeking privacy, land, long-range views, and future potential. By appointment only, no drive-bys, please.
