The abundance of flat fields provides parking for well over 100 vehicles. Approximately 111 acres are in a conservation easement that allow for hiking, camping, trails and hunting, but otherwise restrict development in that portion meaning it will always be pristine woodlands full of wildlife as your backyard. In addition to the two existing 9 bedroom septic systems, permits are on hand for two more septic systems for two and three bedrooms, so come build your dream home. This property makes the perfect homestead/organic farm, event venue, down to earth RV park or family compound. ONLY financially qualified parties should inquire, and proof of funds are required prior to showing. Showing times may be limited due to ongoing rental activity, so plan ahead.

Tucked into the mountains of Mars Hill near the Madison/Yancey County line, nearly 59 acres that have remained in the same family since the 1800s are being offered for sale for the first time. For the first time in generations, this Madison County mountain property is ready for its next chapter. This is the kind of land buyers search for and rarely find all in one tract. Start at the bottom with open pasture, a beautiful old barn, creek, and a spring. Remnants of the property’s long history are still here, including a primitive cabin and old dwelling. They are being conveyed as-is, with no value attributed and no representation as to condition or suitability for occupancy, but they offer a glimpse into the generations who called this mountain home. Then follow the mountain upward through mature woods, along an existing rough road and trail system, where the elevation climbs, the privacy deepens, and long-range mountain views begin to open up near the top. For the buyer with vision, the possibilities are wide open: create a private mountain estate, establish a homestead, explore the potential for a family compound, hunt, hike, ride ATVs, keep the pasture open, or simply own a substantial piece of Western North Carolina and preserve it for the next generation. Twin Oaks Road is paved nearly to the property. From there, the interior road climbs, and it is currently best suited for ATV or appropriate four-wheel-drive access. No septic or electrical service is currently installed. Buyers should independently verify septic suitability, utilities, access, structural condition, and suitability of the property for their intended use. There are plenty of places to buy acreage. There are far fewer places where you get pasture, water, a barn, history, privacy, mountain views, and nearly 59 acres to make entirely your own. Call me today to schedule a showing!

Welcome to Little Bodhi Creek Farm Stay, an extraordinary 106-acre former tobacco farm in the heart of Madison County that serves as an eccentric, peaceful "hippie haven" rich with mature chestnuts, sassafras, native plant species, multiple creeks, waterfalls, natural springs, and impressive historic structures. Dense woods seamlessly run into rolling meadows, historic logging roads, and protected ridgetops, creating a landscape reminiscent of nearby Max Patch where wildlife like elk, deer, and bear roam freely. At the start of the acreage, an original four-bedroom farmhouse boasts gorgeous stonework and various significant updates for smart-modern mountain living, featuring a preserved yet remodeled interior with unpainted woodwork and stunning original hardwoods throughout both levels that presents an incredible opportunity for historical restoration. Expansive trails and roads lead you into every nook and cranny of the total acreage. Multiple pastures, flat landscapes, a stunning man-made pond, beautiful hand-built retaining walls, and altars offer the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous wedding venue, concert space, horse farm, multi-generational compound, or an expanded cabin retreat. Perfect for long-term investment holding. In addition to the main farmhouse, the property includes rich infrastructure and four historic, off-grid cabins—originally from Yancey County—that were carefully preserved and relocated here to previously offer a unique overnight glamping experience completely unplugged from utilities. Also, an earthen two-story greenhouse provides a studio or workshop. The barn has a septic connection, a bathhouse, and natural fed-spring water connection from a nearby waterfall. While you will feel fully immersed in a simpler, peaceful time, this mountain retreat is exceptionally well-located: just 9 minutes to the Spring Creek Community Center (with pickleball, the general store, and recycling, 11 minutes to the Trust General Store & Café). 20 minutes to Max Patch, and only 30 minutes to the vibrant town of Hot Springs (with the Appalachian Trail, dining, and river adventures.)
