New Construction: 12-Unit New Construction Development in Downtown Old Fort, NC 73 W Mitchell Street offers an opportunity for investors or home buyers looking for housing that allows you to walk to all that Downtown Old Fort has to offer. This fully permitted, under-construction property comprises 12 individually designed units, each featuring a walk-in shower, stackable washer and dryer, full kitchen, private single bedroom, and personal deck, with dedicated front door parking. Old Fort is in the midst of a deliberate, well-funded transformation. The G5 Trail Collective, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, is expanding the surrounding trail network toward a planned 42 miles, building on the momentum of Kitsuma, Catawba Falls, and the Gateway Trail System, and drawing hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians from across the region. That momentum shows up most clearly in Old Fort's dining and gathering spots, which have become a draw in their own right. Hillman Beer's downtown taproom offers creekside seating and a full food menu alongside its brews, while Foothills Watershed pairs house-brewed beer with a barbecue menu sourced from Foothills Butcher Shop across its 117-acre riverside bike park and recreation grounds. Whaley Farm Brewery brings European-style lagers and Appalachian-inspired ales just across the stream, and Euda Wine rounds out the beverage scene for visitors who prefer wine to beer. On the food and coffee side, Seeker Coffee has built a loyal following for its locally roasted drinks, Gogo's Cinnamon Rolls draws a steady stream of visitors downtown for its baked goods. Modern Alchemist, born from a passion for mixology and experimentation, blends tradition and boundary-pushing creativity from its on-site distillery and food offerings in an amazing space. Other local favorites include, The Davis Country Store & Cafe, Black Beary's Cafe, and 27 Main. For investors, the property's design offers meaningful flexibility. The unit configuration works equally well as short-term rentals for the rising tide of outdoor recreation visitors, or as long-term workforce housing to meet a documented local need as new businesses and residents continue arriving. With construction still underway, buyers have the added advantage of stepping in before completion, with the opportunity to influence remaining finish and design decisions. Units can be purchased as single units, multiple units or the entire development. Positioned just 25 miles east of Asheville, Old Fort offers access to the same regional demand drivers at a fraction of the cost of entry, making 73 W Mitchell Street a compelling opportunity to capture ground-floor value in a market with clear, sustained momentum.

Great opportunity inside City limits for a multitude of possibilities. This property was historically part of the Cross Cotton Mill properties during the "hay-day" of the textile industry of NC. The surrounding community was housing owned by the Mill for their employees and this property was the Park they provided for the workers and their families. The recreation area had a baseball field, a tennis court and pool for the families of Cross Mill. Bring life back to a once vibrant area that is nostalgic for so many. New construction is taking place as well as many homes being renovated. Re-create the former life with amenities for a multi-family complex or small single-family community or construct warehousing, storage, or other commercial or industrial endeavors. Neighboring properties were once Drexel Heritage and Broyhill Furniture. The Drexel site has been envisioned by the City as Drexel Village at Marion Station; a mixed-use development to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike if the proposed passenger train service returns to western NC to carry passengers along the Norfolk Southern rail from Salisbury to Asheville. Rezoning IS a possibility.

Deeded boat slip, private dock with lift, and 0.49 acres of level, cleared shoreline on Lake James — in the Marion Lake Club community, where waterfront rarely comes available. The outdoor living is the reason to buy this house. Weather-resistant IPE decks wrap the lake side. A full outdoor kitchen and a covered rear porch face the sunrise. A finished gazebo with electricity sits between the lawn and the water, and the private dock carries a lift sized for a triple pontoon, a swim ladder, and a sun deck. Inside, 3,060 square feet arranged as two complete living levels. Rather than dividing that space into small rooms, the home gives you two private primary suites — one on each floor — with generous shared living between them. The main level opens to tinted lake-side glass that frames the water without the glare, with hickory hardwood floors, custom hickory cabinetry, quartz counters, plantation shutters, and gas logs for cool mountain evenings. The walk-out lower basement level is a second private suite in its own right: daylight throughout, its own primary bedroom, two full baths, a generous game room, and direct access out to the dock path. It works equally well for guests, for family, or as a fully separate retreat. Three and a half baths in all. Brown metal roofs on the house, gazebo, and dock. An exterior wrapped entirely in rock and brick in 2008, a brand-new electrical panel, and City of Marion water just installed. A two-bedroom lake home built for the way lake houses actually get used — room to gather, privacy for two couples, and no wasted square footage. Lake James State Park, the Fonta FloraState Trail, and Marion Lake Club dining and golf are all minutes away. Asheville is under an hour; Charlotte under two.
