With approximately 150 acres including nearly a MILE on the French Broad River and approximately 12 acres of flat laying open fields, this is a dream property. It has been operated successfully as a wedding/event venue for years and you can build upon this foundation. Tucked away from view of the state maintained paved road, the land offers a multitude of options. Existing improvements include underground power and high speed internet along with a strong well. Eleven "glamping" cabins provide overnight accommodations in a rustic chic setting. Each is fully enclosed with sumptuous bedding, classic barn interior, metal roofs, views and an outdoor deck. Six of these sit on the bluff looking down on the river below. Awaken to the sound of the river while sipping coffee on the deck. The other five are on the edge of the flower strewn field. Try counting the trillions of stars in the night sky. A large updated barn with catering kitchen has provided seating for more than 200 at events with dance floor and sound system. A very high quality bathhouse provides guests restroom and bathing facilities with hot water via a passive solar boosted system. The "Caretaker's Cabin" is a comfy 1BR/1BA house with kitchen and loft, ideal for an on site manager.

This property makes the perfect homestead/organic farm, event venue, down to earth RV park or family compound. ONLY financially qualified parties should inquire, and proof of funds are required prior to showing. Showing times may be limited due to ongoing rental activity, so plan ahead.

There are places in these ancient Blue Ridge Mountains that seem less like real estate and more like a page torn from a storybook. Places where time slows its hurried march, where the mountains whisper old secrets, and where adventure waits patiently just around the bend. 765 River Road is one of those rare places. Perched high above the legendary French Broad River—one of the oldest rivers on Earth and often celebrated as the world's third-oldest river—this remarkable homesite offers something becoming increasingly difficult to find in America: genuine wonder. The French Broad has been carving its way through these mountains for nearly 300 million years, flowing long before the Appalachian Mountains rose around it. Today, its wild, free-flowing waters remain untamed, winding through a landscape of towering ridges, emerald forests, and endless opportunity for adventure. From your future porch, you'll enjoy a front-row seat to one of nature's grandest performances. Below, the mighty river rushes toward you before bending gracefully through the valley, while long-range mountain views stretch beyond the horizon. Best of all, this homesite is thoughtfully positioned high above the river, offering both breathtaking views and peace of mind during changing weather and seasons. It's the sort of setting that practically begs for a charming mountain cottage, a whimsical Blue Ridge treehouse, or a cozy retreat where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end beneath a blanket of stars. Whether you envision a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an income-producing vacation rental, 765 River Road delivers a rare blend of tranquility and adventure. And speaking of adventure... Just across the river lies the enchanting mountain village of Hot Springs, North Carolina, a town famous for its natural mineral springs that have soothed weary travelers for centuries. Here you'll discover welcoming cafés, local shops, outfitters, and friendly faces that still wave from front porches. The Appalachian Trail strolls directly through town, bringing a steady parade of dreamers, wanderers, and explorers from around the world. It's one of the few places where a thru-hiker from Maine, a fly fisherman from Montana, & a local storyteller can all share the same cup of coffee before noon. From 821 River Road, the adventures are nearly endless. Launch a kayak or raft onto the French Broad. Cast a fly for trout in cold mountain waters. Explore hidden waterfalls tucked deep within national forests. Hike winding trails that disappear into misty peaks. Discover nearby state parks, scenic byways, and overlooks that seem painted by hand. Take a day trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wander through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park among its famous elk. Explore the rich heritage of Cherokee. Or spend an afternoon in Asheville, where art, music, fine dining, and culture flourish beneath the shadows of the mountains. There you'll find iconic destinations such as the majestic Biltmore Estate, the historic The Omni Grove Park Inn, and the beautiful North Carolina Arboretum. But perhaps the greatest treasure isn't what lies beyond the property. It's what lies within it. A quiet morning overlooking one of Earth's oldest rivers. A summer evening filled with fireflies dancing above the water. Generations gathered around a porch telling stories as the river hums softly below. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. The supply of true riverfront homesites along the French Broad River is finite, and places with views, elevation, privacy, and proximity to adventure are rarer still. Some properties are purchased. Others are discovered. 821 River Road belongs in the second category. Don't let this uncommon treasure drift downstream without you. The river has been flowing here for hundreds of millions of years, patiently waiting for the next chapter of its story to be written. Perhaps that chapter belongs to you.

For buyers seeking a full-scale project, this property offers the opportunity to create an entirely new vision in a classic mountain setting. The traditional 1.5-story farmhouse sits on approximately 100 acres in rural Spring Creek Valley, featuring open pastureland, wooded hillsides, creek frontage, and long-range mountain views. The outbuildings include a multi-car tandem garage/workshop, an equipment building, and a livestock barn. The property is located in the scenic Spring Creek Valley, surrounded by steep hillsides and a stream that ultimately flows into the French Broad River. Just down the road is the Spring Creek Community Center, a long-standing gathering point for local residents. The broader Hot Springs area is well known for Appalachian hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation. The home and all outbuildings require restoration. This is an estate transaction, and the sellers have never occupied the home. Recorded rights-of-way exist for adjoining property owners. Due to the property's overall condition, it will not meet all financing requirements. All inspections are for buyer information only; the sellers will not perform or pay for any repairs, including those required by an appraisal. The property is being sold strictly “As Is,” “Where Is,” and “With All Faults.” The seller is a trust representing the estate of the owners who passed away and therefore makes no warranties or representations, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness. No well permit was located. Because the county’s recorded construction year conflicts with the home’s observed materials, the true age of the dwelling is considered unknown. It is also unknown whether any buried fuel tanks exist on the property. A portion of the acreage across Hwy 209, as well as approximately one-third of the 25-acre pasture used for hay, is located within the designated floodway zone. Property showings are available by appointment only. Please contact your Realtor to schedule a time.
