This 13.3 ± acre private wooded homesite in Lookout Pointe offers sweeping, layered long-range mountain views, a year-round creek, and true privacy in Madison County, NC, just over 30 minutes from the west side of Asheville. The terrain is steep overall, allowing for the breathtaking viewshed, and its natural woodland has many old logging roads that make great walking trails. The building area sits at roughly 3,700 feet, just below the road, where the ground levels out slightly to build for long-range views south over Sandymush and layered Blue Ridge peaks. Views are seasonal now, but selective clearing could open them year-round. Trails also lead past granite boulders to Little Sandymush Creek, which tumbles over small waterfalls along the western border. A septic permit was previously approved for a 4-bedroom home. It has since expired but shows what is possible on this land. And a Helene caused slope failure along the road has been repaired, making this ready for you to build your vision. This is a rare find for a buyer wanting big views, privacy, and a water feature. A true mountain retreat or forever homesite.

Tucked away 40 minutes north of Asheville, this extraordinary 35-acre sanctuary at 1061 Indian Trail is a true Appalachian homestead rich with character and heritage. Having known only three owners throughout its history, the estate offers an irreplaceable sense of place, completely surrounded by the pristine, protected wilderness of Pisgah National Forest. Accessed via a scenic Forest Service gravel road, the land transitions from lush timber to roughly 10 cleared acres complete with an organic garden, mature muscadine vines, and producing blueberry bushes. The native wildlife creates an enchanting backdrop, with regular sightings of bald eagles, black bears, and rare fireflies. Flowing from above the property onto and through the land, Hampton Creek cascades down to a waterfall that can be heard right from the house before making its way to the private trout pond, which features a small dock with a ladder for easy swimming and kayaking access. The main residence is thoughtfully designed to showcase the idyllic surroundings. It features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including main-floor bedrooms that look directly out over the calm waters of the pond. Two of the main-level bathrooms have been recently renovated, blending modern comfort with mountain charm. Below, the basement provides extra flexible space complete with a third full bathroom, a newly finished bonus room, and abundant storage space. The heart of the home extends outdoors to a sweeping, screened-in wraparound porch that captures the crisp mountain air, alongside a convenient attached single-car carport. Nearby, a historic root cellar built directly into the hillside offers a fascinating nod to traditional mountain living. A second home on the property—a light-filled guest cabin with a proven track record as a successful short-term rental—provides flexible living options or instant income potential. The cabin features a smart, two-story layout with an open-concept kitchen, living area, and half bath upstairs, while three bedrooms and a full bathroom rest quietly on the lower level. Its private porch sits nestled in the canopy, offering another elevated view of the trout pond and an additional equipment shed nearby to store farm or lawn gear. Beyond the property line, outdoor adventure is practically infinite. The iconic Appalachian Trail is located just a short distance away, while nearby Wolf Laurel and Hatley Point provide exceptional resort amenities, including golf, tennis, dining, and fitness facilities. Hatley Point also features a newly renovated lodge, winter skiing, and a new mountain bike park. Offering a rare combination of complete privacy, rich history, and modern recreational convenience, this legendary mountain retreat stands ready for its next chapter.

Imagine waking on a spring morning, coffee on the porch of your two-bedroom bungalow, looking out across a field of wildflowers that drifts down to the creek you've come to call your own. Roaring Fork murmurs over stone — the same sound that lulled you to sleep last night, joined by the fragrance of dogwood and laurel through an open window. You built here on 7.54 unrestricted acres in Mars Hill, NC, and every sunrise reminds you why. By mid-morning, you're on a video call from your home office. The fiber optic line at the road carries every conversation crisp and clear — your team in another time zone, your daughter at her dorm, your aging mother in Florida. The mountains kept you grounded; the connection kept you in the world. For lunch, you drive 30 minutes into Asheville. Some days it's a gallery, some days it's the River Arts District, some days it's just the farmer's market and a quiet patio. By dinner you're back on Roaring Fork Road, the paved drive curving through your woods, the creek catching the last gold of the day. Last winter — and this still surprises you — you tried skiing. Hatley Pointe is fifteen minutes from your driveway. You'd never have driven hours for it, but fifteen minutes? You went. You fell. You laughed. You went back. Now you keep boots in the mudroom. The land made all of this possible. R-A zoning, no HOA, no covenants — you built the bungalow you wanted, exactly where you wanted it, on the cleared acre at the front. The remaining six-plus acres rise into hardwoods, dogwood, and rhododendron. Cable and fiber optics are at the road. An expired perc test is on file for reference. The tract is subdividable should you ever want to sell off a parcel — though most days, you can't imagine why you would. Annual taxes run under $400. Madison County keeps things simple. Mars Hill is ten minutes for groceries and gas. I-26 is ten minutes when you need to go further. Elevation here sits between 3,000 and 3,500 feet — cool summers, real seasons, full color in October. Tonight you'll close the laptop, pour something quiet, and sit on the porch as the bats begin their dusk patrol over the wildflowers. Roaring Fork keeps talking. The fragrance changes with the season but never stops. Every now and then, in the dark, you remember the patient search that brought you here — the listings you walked away from, the compromises you weren't willing to make — and you are very glad you waited. 7.54 acres. Roaring Fork. Mars Hill, NC. Build the version of your life you've been waiting to write. Acreage, utilities, perc, and zoning to be verified by buyer.

Designed to emphasize natural light and a connection to the outdoors, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and an open, flowing layout that brings the surrounding landscape into the living spaces from nearly every angle. The dramatic great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and opens to expansive decking overlooking the golf course. The open-concept design continues into the kitchen and dining areas, with multiple access points extending the living space outdoors. A defining feature of the property is its golf course and mountain corridor view.

Its distinctive architecture and exceptional setting also provide an opportunity for a new owner to personalize and update the property over time while preserving the character that makes the home unique. The property is offered furnished and equipped, subject to the sellers’ exceptions list. Located within the gated Wolf Laurel community, the property is convenient to year-round mountain recreation, including golf, skiing at Hatley Pointe, dining at Smoke and Timber, and extensive hiking and biking opportunities, including access to the Appalachian Trail.
