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.

And from the moment you pull into the drive, you feel it. When we say real estate is all about location, the setting of this home speaks for itself. Perched above a rolling valley with layer after layer of long-range mountain views, this nearly new home—completed at the end of 2024—was designed to take full advantage of its incredible surroundings. Whether it’s the soft morning light rising over the ridgelines or the quiet stillness that settles in at sunset, every part of this property invites you to pause, take a breath, and stay awhile. Step inside and the feeling continues. The main level is warm, open, and welcoming, with a living room centered around a beautiful stone gas fireplace—perfect for cool mountain evenings. The kitchen blends charm and function with granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and gas range, while the dining area opens to a screened porch where you can enjoy the outdoors without ever leaving your seat. And then there’s the deck… more than 800 square feet of outdoor living space, with an incredible 15-foot-wide deck overlooking those mountain views. This is where mornings begin with coffee, where conversations stretch a little longer, and where the view becomes part of everyday life. The main floor offers two bedrooms and two full baths, thoughtfully laid out for comfortable everyday living. Downstairs is what really sets this property apart. With its own access from both inside and outside, the lower level lives almost like a second home. It features another full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and full bath—creating incredible flexibility for guests, extended stays, or multi-generational living. For buyers considering short-term rental possibilities, the layout creates an especially interesting opportunity. The home could potentially be rented as one complete mountain retreat, or the two living areas could function separately—giving an owner flexibility in how the property is used and potentially creating multiple income options. It’s quiet here. Private. The kind of place where you can actually hear the breeze move through the trees. Practical features haven’t been overlooked either, with a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, generous parking, and a large storage space tucked beneath the garage and accessible from the downstairs living area—perfect for all the extras that come with mountain living. And while it feels like a world away, you’re still remarkably close to everything that makes this area special. The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than a mile away, Little Switzerland is just a short drive, and hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and countless Western North Carolina adventures are waiting nearby. This isn’t just a home—it’s a place to reset, recharge, and reconnect.
