The property offers an impressive collection of existing infrastructure, including two 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabins with wood-burning fireplaces, an additional 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin, three yurts, a tiny home, campground and tent sites, an official-size gymnasium with shower and restroom facilities, commercial kitchen, caf/restaurant space, a dedicated meditation and massage room, office building with additional flexible-use spaces, tennis court, paved roads and parking, and established utilities. Having operated as a retreat destination for nearly two decades, the property provides a rare opportunity to build upon an already established foundation. With over 29 unrestricted acres and additional potential building sites, the possibilities are extensive—continue its legacy as a retreat center or explore its potential as a wellness destination, glamping resort, corporate retreat, wedding and event venue, outdoor adventure lodge, boutique hospitality concept, private estate or family compound. The setting is equally remarkable, with mature hardwoods, mountain and sunrise views, wildflowers and the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding forest. The property also features rich, productive soil with excellent potential for a community garden—adding another dimension for those envisioning a wellness retreat, sustainable living concept or farm-to-table experience.

The legendary Tail of the Dragon is less than 15 minutes away, with Lake Santeetlah, Fontana Lake, Cheoah Lake, Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness, the Appalachian Trail and countless opportunities for hiking, boating, fishing, rafting and exploring the mountains nearby. This is more than a property—it is the opportunity to own an entire destination. With over 29 acres, multiple lodging options, gathering and wellness spaces, commercial infrastructure and room to grow already in place, The Heart Center Sanctuary offers a foundation that would be incredibly difficult to recreate from the ground up.

Just minutes outside of Highlands, along the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, the Cullasaja River winds through miles of protected National Forest, untouched, timeless, and breathtaking and then...there is this. A rare pocket of private land, with less than ten homes, and one extraordinary retreat. Welcome to Goldmine Fish Camp! Brokers/Owners When we found this property, we knew it was something special. Featuring a waterfall in the backyard, Goldmine Creek running alongside the home and the Cullasaja River flowing through the front yard. Two years ago, we bought this home for ourselves. We completely gutted it - reimagining every space, every detail - creating what is essentially a brand-new home. Today, it is fully furnished, thoughtfully designed and truly turnkey. With designer furnishings, fine linens, and a fully stocked kitchen this home is ready for you to arrive, unpack and begin living. In our real estate business, we are privileged to help fulfill our clients' dreams every day, and sometimes that means sacrificing our own. We imagined this as our weekend escape, a place to slow down and enjoy all that nature has to offer, but reality has other plans. We remain committed to our clients' needs and are unable to carve out the time to enjoy this piece of paradise. So now, our dream becomes your opportunity. Fish in the river, float the Cullasaja or pan for gold in Goldmine Creek. Share meals in the gazebo with fireplace, sit around the firepit and share stories with family and friends and let nature set the pace. This isn't just a home; it's a legacy retreat. The last family owned it for forty years. This is a home where memories are made and kept. Your dream is ready to come true!! Owners/Brokers

Remarkable multi-dwelling homestead w/multiple outbuildings on 60 pristine acres with LONG RANGE MOUNTAIN views from the "Balcony of Heaven (see the VIDEO!) And backed up to USFS lands! Privacy Abounds! NO Expense was spared to make this beautiful Home & Cabin safe, secure & private with seemingly endless amenities. The Main Home 3br/3.5 bath is built very strong, energy efficient, and easy to maintain. A new roof was recently installed in 8/2024. The double car garage entrance has a single extra wide 17' heavily insulated door with remote opener. Floor trusses were used to eliminate the need for metal support posts in the basement/garage. The porch above the garage/basement entrance uses a full length steel "I" beam. This eliminated the need for vertical support posts which would obstruct the garage entrance. The exterior walls are of 2x6 construction and are fully insulated. The garage has 18 electrical outlets including a special freezer outlet, without a ground fault circuit, to prevent inadvertent power loss to the freezer. Pre-emptive RADON SYSTEM installed under the full basement floor, PVC piping to capture any possible radon gas and vent it directly outside. A small suction fan pulls a slight vacuum under the slab to capture and remove any radon gas occurrence! The house has a specifically ordered Square D brand 200 amp electrical box with added lightning protection. There are DUAL ZONE separate up and downstairs heat and AC units. Both have plenty of capacity to provide comfort regardless of outside temperatures. Propane is supplied by an owned 1000 gallon underground propane tank (up to a 2 year supply) The spring above the main house has a 1200 gallon tank and supplies gravity feed water of approximately 70psi. Valves allow for water to be used from one or both of the springs. Water is filtered and runs through a ultra-violet purification system. No chlorine, no chemical taste just pure mountain spring water. As part of the water system there are seven water hydrants (freeze resistant faucets) conveniently located about the property. A comprehensive, hard wired security system is installed, it's extremely reliable and monitored by a central security station. The area now also has an Ubiquiti 24/7 video surveillance system with AI. Starlink provides, internet, television and telephone communication.

And an auxiliary gas wall heater with an owned 500 gallon propane tank ensures you are TEMPERATELY GOOD in any weather event. AMAZING LONG RANGE MTN VIEWS! The second spring near the cabin has a spring tank and pump. This spring is operational but not used because the gravity spring above the main house supplies an abundance of water. The cabin spring water is filtered, and purity is assured by the installation of a ultra-violet purification system. No chemical taste just pure mountain water. Beyond the cabin/cottage is a lane that leads up to an enclosed storage building with a garage door and two additional covered bays for vehicles, implements etc. Between the main home & cabin is a large POWERED outbuilding garage/workshop.
