Welcome to Little Bodhi Creek Farm Stay, an extraordinary 106-acre former tobacco farm in the heart of Madison County that serves as an eccentric, peaceful "hippie haven" rich with mature chestnuts, sassafras, native plant species, multiple creeks, waterfalls, natural springs, and impressive historic structures. Dense woods seamlessly run into rolling meadows, historic logging roads, and protected ridgetops, creating a landscape reminiscent of nearby Max Patch where wildlife like elk, deer, and bear roam freely. At the start of the acreage, an original four-bedroom farmhouse boasts gorgeous stonework and various significant updates for smart-modern mountain living, featuring a preserved yet remodeled interior with unpainted woodwork and stunning original hardwoods throughout both levels that presents an incredible opportunity for historical restoration. Expansive trails and roads lead you into every nook and cranny of the total acreage. Multiple pastures, flat landscapes, a stunning man-made pond, beautiful hand-built retaining walls, and altars offer the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous wedding venue, concert space, horse farm, multi-generational compound, or an expanded cabin retreat. Perfect for long-term investment holding. In addition to the main farmhouse, the property includes rich infrastructure and four historic, off-grid cabins—originally from Yancey County—that were carefully preserved and relocated here to previously offer a unique overnight glamping experience completely unplugged from utilities. Also, an earthen two-story greenhouse provides a studio or workshop. The barn has a septic connection, a bathhouse, and natural fed-spring water connection from a nearby waterfall. While you will feel fully immersed in a simpler, peaceful time, this mountain retreat is exceptionally well-located: just 9 minutes to the Spring Creek Community Center (with pickleball, the general store, and recycling, 11 minutes to the Trust General Store & Café). 20 minutes to Max Patch, and only 30 minutes to the vibrant town of Hot Springs (with the Appalachian Trail, dining, and river adventures.) Come visit today!
