WOW! Excellent Value in Hot Springs NC! The views alone are worth the drive — but it’s the combination of gentle topography, usable land, and pure possibility that makes this offering truly rare. Whether you envision a boutique glamping retreat, a dog-friendly resort, a private estate, or something entirely your own, the canvas is here and ready. Currently operating as a small RV campground, the infrastructure is already in place. The property features two full RV hookups with power, water, and septic (there are two separate septic systems offering flexibility for expansion). A charming bathhouse with laundry and a well-appointed park model provide immediate functionality. Both the park model and the impressive 30x50 pole barn are equipped with their own 200-amp electrical service. The pole barn also has a dedicated septic system, making it primed for partial conversion into a studio apartment, expanded living space, workshop, or additional camper accommodations. The groundwork has been thoughtfully laid for growth. This is also suitable as an equestrian property! Included in this deal is a 2018 GMC truck and a new trailer for hauling. It's everything you would need! The land itself is a pleasure to explore — mostly level, with a blend of open pasture and woods, plus established trails winding throughout. Mostly fenced with easy access, it’s as practical as it is beautiful. Significant investment has been made in the landscaping, with Emerald Green arborvitae and magnolia trees enhancing privacy and creating a welcoming, polished feel across the property. Opportunities with this level of infrastructure, flexibility, and natural beauty don’t come along often. Call today to schedule your private showing.
