1087 N Turkey Creek Road Create your own private mountain retreat in Western NC, surrounded by over 600 acres of protected land owned by the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy-ensuring lasting privacy, peaceful surroundings, and preserved views for generations to come. Set at 3, 000 feet elevation at the end of North Turkey Creek Rd, this 2 bed, 2 bath home sits on 10.12 wooded acres with meandering trails, spring-fed streams, and multiple potential homesites-ideal for a guest cottage, family compound, or short-term rental cabins. Originally built as a "Y2K bunker, " the concrete construction offers exceptional durability and natural insulation, complemented by solar panels and a 1, 500-gallon holding tank previously connected to a spring. Inside, the main level features two bedrooms and a full bath, with one bedroom doubling as a light-filled sunroom with French doors. The open living and kitchen area is anchored by a cozy woodstove. The finished lower level (approx. 739 sq ft) includes a full bath and private exterior entrance, offering flexible space for a guest suite, studio, or home office (not included in main HLA due to separate access). Unique details throughout include a built-in reading nook, river stone flooring accents, a hand-painted ceiling, and a beautifully tiled hearth wall. A 590 sq ft outbuilding with loft adds even more versatility-perfect as a workshop, studio, garage, or potential additional living space. Recent updates include fresh paint and reinforcement on the partially covered deck, fresh interior paint, and improved exterior drainage. Whether you're seeking a quiet, self-sufficient lifestyle, exploring permaculture, or envisioning a wellness retreat, this property offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special.
