865 Camp Creek Rd – Solar-Powered Hilltop Retreat on 23+ Acres in Murphy, NC Discover your private mountain sanctuary at the top of the hill—where quality construction meets the untouched beauty of North Carolina's forests. This 1600+ sq ft solar-powered home is nestled on 23.12 acres of mature hardwoods and thriving Hemlocks—over 400 have been treated and protected from the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, ensuring a vibrant forest canopy for years to come. Wander through your own wooded wonderland, where two picturesque creeks, mossy rock outcrops, and a natural spring set the scene for peace and renewal. In spring and summer, the land bursts with native wildflowers—including dwarf crested iris, trillium, showy orchis, pink lady's slipper, and flame azalea. A majestic red oak on the property has more than 80 growth rings, telling the story of decades of natural beauty. The home is built to last, with 2x6 wall construction, 8-inch poured basement walls, hurricane ties at wall and truss connections, and Energy Trusses (16” on center) constructed of #1 lumber. The efficiency is unmatched—R-19 insulation in upstairs walls, R-15 in the basement, and an incredible R-64 in the attic—keeping the home naturally cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The exterior boasts James Hardie siding and an MBCI Lok-Seam metal roof for long-lasting protection. Step inside to 10-foot ceilings and abundant natural light powered by your 4,000-watt solar array (with capacity for more), paired with a 500' well for pure mountain water. Every detail, from the hurricane ties to the thoughtful placement of windows, is designed for resilience, comfort, and connection to nature. Whether you dream of a private homestead, an eco-conscious retreat, or a nature lover's paradise, 865 Camp Creek Rd offers it all—sustainable living, unmatched privacy, and the kind of natural beauty you can't find just anywhere.
