Escape. Invest. Expand. Your dream mountain lifestyle just got more affordable! This one-of-a-kind, off-grid mountain-top cabin in Newland, NC offers more than just breathtaking views—it offers opportunity. Tucked away in serene privacy, this rustic retreat is perched high above the treetops with panoramic mountain vistas and a front-row seat to nature’s finest. Built with character-rich rough-sawn wood and classic board-and-batten siding, the cabin features large windows that bring the outdoors in—offering unforgettable star-filled skies from your bed. Fully off-grid, the cabin runs on a reliable solar power system with two battery backups, a spring-fed water source, and a wood stove that keeps the entire home warm through winter. This is true self-sufficiency without sacrificing comfort. Wildlife thrives here—deer, turkey, and rare birds make regular appearances—making it a dream location for nature lovers, bird watchers, and outdoor adventurers. Mature blueberry bushes add charm and seasonal bounty to the landscape. But what truly sets this property apart is its investment and expansion potential: active septic permit already approved and recorded for expansion to a three-bedroom home, room to build an additional bedroom or living space, ideal for vacation rental income, eco-retreat development, or long-term off-grid living. Whether you’re an investor, homesteader, or someone looking to build a legacy getaway, this property delivers on all fronts: location, lifestyle, and potential. The access road has been upgraded but an AWD is advised.
Your Mountain getaway property is here. This is an off the grid dream property. 18.94 acres, additional building sites, hiking pathways and solitude. It's an outdoors dream set-up. Oh and breathtaking views. There isn't a bad view anywhere on the deck. This is what you expected when you decided to look in the mountains. Appalachin trail access not far away either. Mountain wood sided cabin with one bedroom, full bath with washer/dryer connection. Wood stove easily heats the house and doubles as a stove. There is a fully enclosed hunting structure not far from cabin on the ridge. 100 gallon propane tank powers the water heater and portable generator provides the electric power. Septic system is non-permitted. It comes fully furnished and with an ATV. If adventure is what you seek, this is one you can't miss. The road to property is rough so AWD needed. The upside is it is rocky so able to get traction but go slow. Being sold as is. Owner Financing possible
