617 Norton Fork Rd, Hot Springs, NC 28743

Since 2016 this unique mountain retreat has been carefully maintained to allow the flourishing of the natural ecosystem and as a result now supports an abundance of rare plants and at-risk wildlife. The property is surrounded by neighbors who hold those same values, including limiting domesticated animals, the dark-sky movement, organic grounds keeping, and avoiding other outdoor disturbances — making this is location unlike any other on the market to have a true nature sanctuary in the Appalachian wilderness with unspoiled quiet, peaceful forest living and end-of-the-road privacy. The 20 +/- acre property includes 2 homes (totaling 5 bedrooms / 4 full bath / 3 half bath), natural spring-fed large pond with koi, private trails with creeks and small waterfalls, stone outdoor fire pit, and a 7-course labyrinth. From the main building, enjoy long range mountain views that include sights of Max Patch and Bluff Mountain.
