Glade
Mountain Retreat A Journey Worth Taking The Glade Mountain Retreat is a 5 acre wooded property with a complex of five outbuildings, as well as meticulously developed organic gardens & landscaping:
The property map looks like this: The Retreat House The Retreat House is a spacious 37ft diameter Deltec dome with two attached wings, housing a full commercial kitchen, heating plant, and five guest bedrooms, each with a full bath, sleeping up to 12 people. The dome is self-supporting so there are no obstructing columns inside, thereby creating a large, open, carpeted space that be utilized in myriad configurations. Folding chairs and tables are provided, to be used as needed. The Spring House |

The Biodome
Greenhouse
The Biodome Greenhouse is a marvel of human technical engineering and nature's botanical magic. The 32 ft. diameter glass and aluminum dome provides the perfect year-round environment for all sorts of organically grown plants, including flowers, vegetables, herbs, tubers, sprouts, and berries of all kinds. In the cold, dreary days of fall and winter, it is especially delightful to walk down to the Biodome and step into what feels like a tropical rainforest still green with living plants. The Main House The Main House is a rustic, contemporary, farm house with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths that's mostly on 1 level, though there is a workshop, food pantry, spa and laundry room in the ground level basement. This is where the owner/manager and family lives while operating the retreat facilities. The house is well-insulated and can be kept quite comfortable in North Carolina's short, mild winters. The Garage The Garage is a rustic, 2 car garage with a small workshop for maintaining vehicles, farm equipment, the organic gardens, and the entire building complex. Two large, sliding doors provide easy access to the garage portion for any vehicles or equipment requiring rountine maintenance. The Organic Gardens Through the years, we have worked in our raised-bed gardens to increase the fertility and mineral content of the soil, to grow healthy plants and sweet produce. We cultivate concord grapes, apples, pears, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, plums, persimmons, chard, kale, lettuce, beets, tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, basil, parsley, rosemary and more. |
