CABIN | OVER 8 ACRES | OFF-GRID LIVING — Escape to your own private retreat, completely surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest! 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.

This Jim Barna cabin sits on 8.8 acres of pristine land, offering the perfect setup for a self-sufficient lifestyle. A wrap-around deck provides stunning mountain views, while a nearby creek enhances the peaceful setting. The property also features raised garden beds for sustainable living and a 1,000+ sq. ft. powered storage building, ideal for hobbies, equipment, or a workshop. 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!
