Primitive Spring House
Maggie Valley, North Carolina,
United States
 Primitive Spring House is a house with gravity fed water clean from the mountain. Pristine air and water make this place a viable option for anyone who is looking to escape the rat race of society. Yes it is very difficult to escape the mundane dollar bill that drives us all to stay connected. But if we can find others who feel being detached and living with nature (we do live in a wood heated house), but we feel as if we are all losing what our purpose is here on earth. If we can work together, provide for each other and maintain a sense of balance then we are accomplishing a great task.
We are a group of collective thinkers who are searching for others with a like mind.
Hard working folks only need to write. We accept all from any walk of life. Children and families feel free to contact.
Greater consciousness.
Our expertise includes organic farming (setting up a greenhouse if we can find more people to help), carpentry, wilderness and survival skills, Mayan education, and much more.
There are elk out our front door although we cannot hunt them. Clean rushing stream in the backyard. This is paradise for a winter lover.
Please write or call if you feel connected.
