Developers, investors and mountain lovers, this is a property worth exploring. You've just found an unrestricted 18.99 acre mountain estate that has the potential to either be Old Fort's next great neighborhood, a very successful short term rental or a multi-generational legacy estate surrounded by nature. Located just 9 minutes from the breweries, shops, and the outdoor lifestyle that has Old Fort making headlines, this prime mountain property offers an extraordinary opportunity. Let's start with the development and subdivision potential. With over 1,000 feet of very buildable ridge line with no restrictions, the acreage is uniquely positioned for a multitude of homesites several of which could sit atop the ridge with potential views of Hickorynut Mountain. If you're not familiar, Hickorynut Mountain is a 12,000 acre piece of land that is currently in a private conservancy and is slated to be transferred to the state with two thirds of it to be made into a state park (read: indefinite pristine views.) As a developer, your costs will be reduced because a road to the ridge is already partially roughed-in while another road that runs the ridge's entire length is fully roughed-in. Whether you fancy a select number of larger homes or a neighborhood of tiny homes or something in between, your vision can become reality here. If you're thinking about short term rental potential you're in luck as this home bridges traditional log construction with contemporary refinement. Tucked away for total privacy at the end of a paved drive, it boasts many features desired by renters including over 800 square feet of deck space, vaulted ceilings with a soapstone wood burning stove and a floor to ceiling stone chimney, a 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber line and an office for remote work, plenty of nature and hiking trails in addition to great proximity to Old Fort, Asheville and Lake James. The custom-built nearly 2400 square foot log home also has massive windows that drench the space with natural light. Fine hickory flooring and cultured marble counter tops run throughout while 3 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths highlighted by a primary suite with a dedicated soaking tub will have everyone relaxing. The massive 990 square foot two car garage includes a dedicated workspace for outdoor gear and projects. Thoughtfully engineered, the stone chimney in the main floor extends directly down to this lower level providing the built-in infrastructure to easily add a second stove for a heated, year-round workshop. It's all about lifestyle here and outdoor living is central to the property's design. We recommend exploring the land during your showing to fully understand its uniqueness, potential and beauty. Whether it's enjoying quiet mornings enveloped by the lush privacy of your own forest, adding this property to your portfolio of short term rentals, or executing your vision for a multi-homesite development project, this property represents a rare and versatile acquisition in the Blue Ridge foothills that is unmatched.

At the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this well-kept brick ranch sits on a level 0.70 acre with paved frontage on US 221 in the Woodlawn community. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and 1,800 square feet all on one level, with hardwood floors running through the living and sleeping areas. The kitchen has been freshly updated with stainless appliances and paint, countertops and opens to a light-filled dining area. A stone fireplace with gas logs anchors the living room, and there's a second fireplace in one of the bedrooms. The owner added a laundry closet in one bedroom for main-level convenience, and hookups remain in the basement. Major systems are done: roof replaced in 2025, HVAC in 2018, electrical in 2017, water heater in 2026, plumbing updated to PVC, and thermal-pane windows. A natural gas generator conveys, along with the owned propane tank that fuels the gas logs; natural gas is available at the property for a buyer who prefers to convert. Spectrum internet service is in place. The full basement adds roughly 1,800 square feet of workshop and storage beneath the home — with a woodstove and a fireplace to take the chill off. Interior stairs plus walk-out and walk-up access make it easy to move equipment in and out. Outside, a one-car attached carport opens onto a covered side porch, while a detached tandem carport and detached garage/workshop give you room for vehicles, equipment, and projects. Plus an additional outbuilding. Public water, septic system, heat pump with central air, insulated windows, walk-in attic with fixed stairs, and built-in features throughout. No HOA, no restrictions. Minutes from North Cove School and a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Caverns, Little Switzerland, and the hiking, fishing, and waterfalls of the western North Carolina mountains.

Room to build. Room to breathe. And a location that puts Western North Carolina at your doorstep. This 0.77-acre homesite — the larger of two newly created parcels just outside Marion, NC — offers a generous building envelope with the rare advantage of city water and sewer already accessible. No HOA, paved road frontage via US 221, and a shared private drive providing secondary access make this a genuinely ready-to-develop opportunity in a market where buildable lots are increasingly hard to find. The lot's natural topography gives it character. With some slope to the terrain, a thoughtful home design can take full advantage of the elevation — think covered porches, a walk-out basement, or elevated views that a flat lot simply can't offer. Buyers who've built on sloped land in WNC know that grade often creates the most interesting and livable homes when worked with rather than against. It's worth noting that a power line easement runs along the side of the property. This is reflected in the recorded plat and should be factored into your site and home placement planning — your builder or designer can help you work with the lot layout to maximize the usable footprint. City water and sewer access eliminates two of the biggest hurdles on rural land — no perc tests, no well installation, no septic system to engineer. That means a cleaner, faster, more predictable path from vacant lot to finished home. The location is one of this property's strongest suits. Minutes from downtown Marion's restaurants, shops, schools, and healthcare, and just a short drive from Lake James — one of WNC's most beloved recreational destinations. Boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and some of the most scenic mountain and water views in the region are practically in your backyard. Pisgah National Forest, Linville Gorge, and the Blue Ridge Parkway round out an outdoor lifestyle that draws people to this area from across the country. If you're ready to build now or securing land for what's next, this parcel delivers meaningful acreage, public utilities, and a mountain location that's hard to replicate at this price point. Your next chapter starts here.

Recently divided from a larger parcel, this property offers a rare chance to build your dream home on a manageable-sized lot while enjoying easy access to everything Marion, Lake James, and Western North Carolina have to offer with no HOA! One of the standout features of this property is the availability of city water and sewer, eliminating many of the uncertainties and expenses often associated with undeveloped land.

Whether you're heading into downtown Marion, commuting to neighboring communities, or exploring the mountains of Western North Carolina, you'll appreciate the property's strategic location and ease of access. In addition to its direct road access, the property will benefit from a shared driveway arrangement, providing an additional point of access and enhancing the overall usability of the lot. This thoughtful access plan helps maximize the property's functionality while maintaining flexibility for future development.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer looking to build, someone seeking to downsize into a custom home, or an investor searching for a promising building site, this property presents a variety of possibilities. Location is one of this property's greatest assets. Situated just minutes from downtown Marion, you'll have convenient access to local restaurants, shopping, healthcare facilities, schools, and community events. Even better, you'll be only a short drive from the recreational opportunities of Lake James, one of Western North Carolina's most sought-after destinations. Spend your weekends boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, hiking, or simply enjoying the breathtaking mountain and lake scenery that makes this area so desirable. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the property's proximity to Pisgah National Forest, Linville Gorge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and countless other attractions that make Western North Carolina a year-round destination for adventure and relaxation. Finding buildable land with public utilities, paved access, and a location this convenient is becoming increasingly difficult. This newly created parcel offers a unique opportunity to secure a ready-to-develop homesite in a growing area with strong long-term appeal.

Back on the market... Buyer was not able to execute the contract. Property is fine. There is a kind of knowing that comes from the body before it reaches the mind. John Updike, in Hoeing, writes toward that truth—the slow, honest rhythm of work, the way land answers effort, the way attention itself becomes a form of prayer. The poem isn’t really about farming so much as it is about relationship: between hands and soil, time and patience, effort and reward. This land lives in that same conversation. Here, the ground is not asking to be conquered or corrected. It lies open and level, as if already prepared—inviting rather than demanding. The ease of the terrain is not an accident; it’s the result of years of care, of being worked and respected by a neighboring farm that understands the quiet intelligence of soil. You can feel it underfoot. This is ground that knows what it means to be useful, and also what it means to rest. The views stretch outward without effort. No climbing, no carving, no strain—just space unfolding naturally, the horizon meeting you where you stand. It’s the kind of openness that gives you room to breathe, room to think, room to imagine what life could look like if it weren’t rushed or crowded. And then there’s the creek. Not ornamental. Not seasonal. Not an afterthought. It moves with its own steady purpose, offering sound and motion and life to the land. Water like this doesn’t just decorate a property—it defines it. It draws wildlife, cools summer afternoons, and anchors the land in something timeless. Sit nearby long enough and you’ll notice how it recalibrates your sense of time, how conversations slow, how plans feel less urgent and more intentional. This property offers flexibility without chaos—rare ground that allows you to choose how you want to engage with it. Build a conventional home and settle in with permanence, confidence, and clarity. Or keep it recreational: pull in your camper, park with ease, and enjoy the land as it is, when you want it, without pressure or deadlines. The land doesn’t rush you. It never has. There’s also the very real potential for a hobby farm—one that doesn’t require heroic effort just to get started. The level ground, the history of cultivation nearby, the water, the openness—it’s all already here. This is land that remembers how to be worked and welcomes it again, if that’s what you choose. Like the act of hoeing in Updike’s poem, this place isn’t about spectacle. It’s about rhythm. About showing up. About letting effort be honest and reward be quiet. It’s about mornings that begin with mist over the creek and evenings that end with long shadows across open ground. It’s about land that doesn’t need to prove itself because it already knows what it is. Some properties shout. This one listens. And for the right person—the one who understands that stewardship can be both practical and poetic—it answers back.

Incredible opportunity for investors, builders, or developers! This property offers a rare chance to reimagine a unique piece of land with existing infrastructure and multiple possibilities for redevelopment. Three separate structures are present on the property: a 1900s site-built home, a singlewide, and a gutted doublewide. All have been lived in at various points, suggesting the presence of utility connections; however, they are being sold strictly as-is, at no assigned value, and entry is strongly discouraged unless at your own risk. With just two owners throughout its history, this property provides a clean slate with great potential for creative vision and long-term return. This is a unique chance to secure land with existing improvements already in place, ideal for your next build, redevelopment project, or investment portfolio.
