Developers, investors and mountain lovers, this is a property worth exploring. You've just found an unrestricted 18.99 acre mountain estate that has the potential to either be Old Fort's next great neighborhood, a very successful short term rental or a multi-generational legacy estate surrounded by nature. Located just 9 minutes from the breweries, shops, and the outdoor lifestyle that has Old Fort making headlines, this prime mountain property offers an extraordinary opportunity. Let's start with the development and subdivision potential. With over 1,000 feet of very buildable ridge line with no restrictions, the acreage is uniquely positioned for a multitude of homesites several of which could sit atop the ridge with potential views of Hickorynut Mountain. If you're not familiar, Hickorynut Mountain is a 12,000 acre piece of land that is currently in a private conservancy and is slated to be transferred to the state with two thirds of it to be made into a state park (read: indefinite pristine views.) As a developer, your costs will be reduced because a road to the ridge is already partially roughed-in while another road that runs the ridge's entire length is fully roughed-in. Whether you fancy a select number of larger homes or a neighborhood of tiny homes or something in between, your vision can become reality here. If you're thinking about short term rental potential you're in luck as this home bridges traditional log construction with contemporary refinement. Tucked away for total privacy at the end of a paved drive, it boasts many features desired by renters including over 800 square feet of deck space, vaulted ceilings with a soapstone wood burning stove and a floor to ceiling stone chimney, a 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber line and an office for remote work, plenty of nature and hiking trails in addition to great proximity to Old Fort, Asheville and Lake James. The custom-built nearly 2400 square foot log home also has massive windows that drench the space with natural light. Fine hickory flooring and cultured marble counter tops run throughout while 3 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths highlighted by a primary suite with a dedicated soaking tub will have everyone relaxing. The massive 990 square foot two car garage includes a dedicated workspace for outdoor gear and projects. Thoughtfully engineered, the stone chimney in the main floor extends directly down to this lower level providing the built-in infrastructure to easily add a second stove for a heated, year-round workshop. It's all about lifestyle here and outdoor living is central to the property's design. We recommend exploring the land during your showing to fully understand its uniqueness, potential and beauty. Whether it's enjoying quiet mornings enveloped by the lush privacy of your own forest, adding this property to your portfolio of short term rentals, or executing your vision for a multi-homesite development project, this property represents a rare and versatile acquisition in the Blue Ridge foothills that is unmatched.

Views, views and more views! Actually 300-degrees of mountain views on almost 9 acres. Additional building sites to share with family and friends, sell or treasure for yourself. A charming, cozy Arts-and-Crafts cottage featuring a warm great room, stone fireplace and wood floors. Everything a mountain house should be. The open kitchen includes a bar-height countertop and tile flooring, and ample windows fill the living area with natural light. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath, and the hall bath features a tubular skylight for added brightness. The lower level offers a comfortable den—perfect for reading, gaming, movie nights, or slipping away to finally enjoy that book you’ve been saving. Step outside onto the wrap-around deck for rest, relaxation, unforgettable stargazing, and memorable gatherings. Additional features include abundant storage, an encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, and a Generac generator for peace of mind during the occasional Western NC storm. Situated on almost 9 acres, the property provides privacy, additional potential building sites, and 100% control of your views. A large level yard offers room to garden or play, and the paved-road access makes coming and going easy. Are you concerned about multiple annual dues because you would have 8 lots? No worries. Since the lots are contiguous (per POA), there is only one set of annual dues which is $1407 annually. Located within the gated community of Gateway Mountain, you’re just a short distance from Lake George—ideal for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking—and from the mile-plus hiking trail to Waterfall Park for more outdoor adventure. Also worth noting, this home is located within the established, gated community of Gateway Mountain. The community is approximately 7 miles from Interstate 40 at Exit 73 in Old Fort, offering convenient access while still feeling private and peaceful. Old Fort is a historic railroad town entering an exciting new chapter—now known for some of Western North Carolina’s best mountain biking and hiking. The growing outdoor recreation scene has helped bring in fantastic local businesses such as Hillman Beer, The Modern Alchemist, Old Fort Bike Shop, Go-Go's and more. (if you do not know what Go-Go's is, I encourage you to find out). The area is also home to a vibrant mountain arts community, where you’ll find galleries and studios featuring some of the most beautiful and uniquely crafted pieces you’ll see anywhere. Please note: The septic permit is for a 2-bedroom home, but the main floor includes a versatile bonus room perfect for guests, an office, library, art studio, and more.
