Surrounded by national forest, the self-sustaining family estate is wind turbine and solar powered; the property features a helipad, landing strip, multiple cabins and outbuildings constructed for total independent living

A 350-acre, self-sufficient retreat strategically hidden in the Appalachian Mountains has entered the market for $17 million. Featuring three private cabin residences and five outbuildings, High Mountain has been engineered with advanced off-the-grid infrastructure that ensures a sophisticated, independent lifestyle. The sustainable property offers total seclusion, and is outfitted with a helipad, airstrip and hangar. Marketed exclusively by Rob Drag and Jason Gentry of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Lake Norman and Charlotte offices, respectively, the listing details can be viewed here.

With its strategic location, the property was originally conceived as a highly secure community of estate homes. The current owner has assembled the parcels over the past 25 years, and is now offering the rare opportunity of private mountain ownership for the first time. Complete with a wind turbine, multiple solar panels and redundant water sources, High Mountain is completely self-reliant — and is the ultimate place to escape, survive and thrive in style.

The expansive acreage boasts ideal long-range views to the east and west for endless sunrise and sunset vistas. An abundance of pristine foliage and a serene natural environment offer the new owner endless opportunities for hunting and other recreational activities. Several outbuildings, placed in key locations throughout the property, can be converted for a multitude of purposes. Three residential cabins offer distinctive features:

Cabin 1
