On 4.25 pristine acres with more than 1,000 acres of undisturbed Pisgah National Forest at its doorstep, Indigo Nature Retreat offers an extraordinary opportunity to live in harmony with nature. This rare mountain sanctuary is immersed in beauty—surrounded by dense foliage, winding trails and the soothing sounds of rolling currents—while offering thoughtfully designed spaces for gathering, reflection, and retreat. The heart of the property is the main lodge, a 1,000-plus-square-foot haven that embodies rustic elegance. With a private loft and main sleeping quarters, it provides comfort and seclusion while honoring its natural setting. The open living area, anchored by a handsome stone fireplace, invites conversation and connection, while a spacious porch extends into the forest canopy, offering a backdrop for sunrise meditations, evening storytelling or quiet contemplation. Warm natural finishes throughout ensure the lodge feels both welcoming and enduring. A two-story, 600-plus-square-foot community barn serves as the property’s vibrant center. On the main level, two full baths, a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen—complete with stove, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, cookware and utensils—create a communal space for shared meals and celebration. Upstairs, an open studio awaits, ideal for yoga, meditation, or creative expression, making the barn a hub of connection and inspiration. Scattered throughout the retreat are accommodations that balance privacy with immersion in nature. Five primitive tiny cabins, neatly tucked into the forest, invite simple, restorative living, while four larger creekside cabins—each with a full kitchen and bath—provide greater comfort without sacrificing serenity. Altogether, the property accommodates up to 24 guests, offering flexibility for family gatherings, wellness retreats or intimate hospitality experiences. Operating as a retreat center, Indigo Nature Retreat is far more than real estate—it is a soulful offering, a place where nature leads and peace follows. Whether envisioned as a private legacy estate, a continuation of its role as a sanctuary for wellness and creativity, or an opportunity to reimagine a personal or professional connection to the land, this property embodies possibility. Just beyond the doorstep lies mile upon mile of untouched wilderness, yet the retreat remains accessible, a secluded escape within reach of Asheville’s vibrant cultural life. Indigo Nature Retreat stands as a rare convergence of beauty, tranquility and purpose—a place where mountain living is not only elevated, but deeply meaningful.
