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.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Mountain Estate Bordering Pisgah National Forest Privacy. History. Adventure. Possibilities. This is the kind of property that rarely becomes available. Ride out your own gate. This 14-acre equestrian estate borders Pisgah National Forest on three sides, opening directly onto thousands of acres of protected trail. No trailer, no trailhead, no hauling out. Paxton Creek runs year-round through the property, audible from the screened porch. One hour from Tryon International Equestrian Center. The facility is built to work. A three-stall barn with grain and tack room and full hay loft with overhang. A riding arena for lunging, training, schooling or use as a dry lot. Three fenced and cross-fenced pastures with a run-in shelter, watered by a natural freshwater spring capable of serving the barn. A 30' x 30' workshop with side overhang handles equipment, hay or a second rig, with RV parking on a 50-amp hookup and a generator hookup for the property. The log residence is engineered for permanence: a 10-foot Superior Walls foundation, a heated and cooled semi-finished basement for tack, training or recreation space, a new 3-ton heat pump (2025) and a Hot Blast wood furnace ducted throughout. Wide porches, mountain and water views, and the quiet of a property at the end of a private road. Flexible by design. Keep it as a private equestrian estate. Run it as a working homestead — pastures, chicken coop, historic blacksmith shop and spring already in place. Or build: a prepared site along the historic Wagon Trail commands 360-degree views of Old Fort Mountain and the ranges beyond. Underground utilities, well, septic, no HOA, publicly maintained road access. Fourteen acres of privacy against a permanently protected boundary, an hour from world-class competition and forty minutes from Asheville.

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.

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.

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. Whether you're ready to start building now or planning for the future, this property provides the foundation for turning your vision into reality.

Private Mountaintop Estate | 5 Bedrooms | ±11.39 Acres | Solar Uninterrupted views of Marion from one of the highest homesites in the area. High above downtown, this two-story estate sits on approximately 11.39 acres of mountaintop land, reached by a paved private drive. The setting is quiet and private by elevation itself. The property borders Mount Ida Wilderness Park — 36 acres of city preserve with a one-mile trail to overlooks of Short Off Mountain and the town below. Downtown Marion is about three-tenths of a mile away. You live above it. You easily go down to it. Solar panels crown the home — a quieter kind of luxury: lower operating cost, a lighter footprint, and the comfort of generating power on your own roof while the views do the rest. The main level is built for living well. A fully appointed kitchen with breakfast nook. Formal dining. A great room wrapped in glass, fireplace at the center, views running front to back. The primary suite is its own retreat: fireplace, private bath with jetted tub, and a screened covered deck. The great room opens to a broad entertaining deck above Marion. Upstairs: four bedrooms and two full baths. One suite is large enough to serve as a second primary, with its own bath, walk-in closet, and a private balcony. This is a rare combination in McDowell County — acreage, long views, trail access, solar, and Main Street close enough for dinner, the Peavine, and the farmers market. A private mountaintop estate that still belongs to town. If you want room, elevation, and a home that works as beautifully as it looks, this property deserves a private showing.
