Views!! Views!! Two year-round flowing creeks and a waterfall. This private, unrestricted 12 acre tract adjoins Pisgah National Forest at Linville Gorge Wilderness. It has been known locally as The Island for generations due to most of the property being elevated between two creeks with stunning long range views of the Black Mountains, the highest elevation points in the Eastern United States. All photos of the views were taken standing on the ground at the build site. Clear more trees and you'll have sweeping 180 degree west facing views. A level and extensive gently sloping build site is already cleared for you to envision your home. This property gets more interesting….It is accessed on paved roads that meander through a gated community. The community takes care of the roads, you pay them an annual road maintenance fee of $450. Once you arrive at the property you are NOT subject to the gated community restrictions, it falls under the county no zoning area. A paved driveway leads you to the ridgetop build site and then continues across the property to two creek side off grid cabins that the owners enjoyed for many years. An above ground 1,000 gallon propane tank sits next to the cabins that can be powered by a generator. The cabins will need some updating and are being sold as is. Excellent for use as a hunting camp, homestead, private mountain getaway or vacation rental property. Seller would prefer a cash deal or partial seller financing. Centrally located between Boone (40 minutes) and Asheville (50 minutes), and only 30 minutes to the ski resorts in the high country, 25 minutes to Lake James, and 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls, and Linville Falls Winery.

136 Marion Street, Marion, NC -- In-town living with room to breathe — and an easy hop to I-40. This brick home sits on +/- 1.3 acres, a rare lot size this close to downtown Marion. You get the convenience of city amenities without a cramped city lot. Main Street shops, dining, and events are nearby. Interstate 40 is an easy drive for commutes to Asheville or Morganton. Just down the street is the Peavine Trail, Marion’s 1.5-mile rails-to-trails path — a flat, crushed-gravel route that follows the old railroad corridor from State Street toward Rutherford Road. It is an easy outing for walking, running, or a bike ride, and it sits right in the city limits. Downtown Marion is the county seat known as “Where Main Street Meets the Mountains.” Historic storefronts, local coffee and taprooms, the Saturday Tailgate Market in season, the McDowell Arts Council, and the Joseph McDowell Catawba Greenway are all part of everyday life here. Lake James, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Pisgah National Forest are a short drive when you want the mountains. -- Inside: The main floor offers three bedrooms and rooms that feel large and bright. An eat-in kitchen/dining area makes daily living simple. A formal living room with fireplace gives you a proper gathering space. The layout is straightforward and livable. -- Outside and below: A full basement includes garage space. An attached carport on the upper level adds everyday covered parking. The 1.3-acre lot is the standout — room for garden, play, extra parking, or just privacy you do not usually find this close to town. Brick construction, close town location (but not in city limits), trail access, and interstate convenience. A practical Marion address with more land than most neighbors.

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.
