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.

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. Underground utilities, well, septic, no HOA, publicly maintained road access.

They don't make land like this any more! I am excited to offer up such an exceptional 3.82 ACRE TRACT on one of the most beautiful stretches of CROOKED CREEK! OVER 800 FEET of DIRECT FRONTAGE and with a road right down to the water's edge! Plenty of nice buildable ground that sits out of the reach of floodwaters. The opposite bank of the creek makes for a great view, with a vertical rock face and steep woods. It lends to a very private setting. This side is definitely the one you want though, easily walkable along the entire length of the creek with sandy beeches and areas of beautiful river rock and boulders. It's also hard to beat the location. Only a 5 minute drive to hop on I-40, so you could quickly be in Black Mountain or Asheville to enjoy a tasty dinner out. That is if you ever want to leave. I didn't. I spent way too much time at this place while I was taking pictures, and really wished I had brought a lawn chair to plop down in out in the water. The sound of a rushing creek just soothes the soul. Check out the video to hear it for yourself. Power is on site, and this place is ready to be enjoyed, so get out and take a look. You'll be hard pressed to find anything like it. It truly is a gem!

For nearly fifty years, this working farm has been a hidden masterpiece of the Blue Ridge Mountains, reached by a mile-long gravel drive that winds through open pasture, alongside creeks, and beneath towering hardwoods before finally opening to the home. And what a home it is. Custom-built in 1978, the home blends timeless architecture with a level of craftsmanship and character that’s difficult to replicate today. Nearly 2,500 square feet of living space, filled with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, natural stone, and remarkable natural light, gives the home a warmth that balances perfectly with its scale and craftsmanship. At the heart of the home is an enormous double-sided fireplace built from hand-selected local stone, anchoring two separate living areas. The layout was thoughtfully designed, with the primary suite positioned on the main level and two additional bedrooms with a full bath upstairs. Large windows throughout the home frame views of the surrounding farm and mountains in nearly every direction, while newer Pella windows along the northern side of the main level bring even more light into the living spaces. Solid-surface countertops, wide-plank hardwood floors, architectural shingles, a partial basement, an attached two-car garage, and a large rear deck complete the home beautifully. Outside, the estate unfolds across 139 acres of some of Western North Carolina’s most desirable landscape. Approximately 20 acres are established pastureland with partial fencing already in place, while the remainder of the property stretches through mature timber, trails, and multiple creeks flowing through the farm. Several potential building sites throughout the property offer exceptional long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the potential for a family compound, event venue or investment. The farm remains highly functional as well, with a storage and implement barn, large metal garage/storage building, and tractor and hay equipment conveying with the sale. Certain furnishings inside the home will remain too. Properties like this are becoming increasingly rare — not simply because of the acreage, but because of the complete package. A truly custom home with architectural character. Privacy without isolation. Usable land. Water. Views. History. And a setting that feels every bit as special as the home itself. This is the kind of property families hold onto for generations.

Back on the market... Buyer was not able to execute the contract. Septic Eval is good to 2029. 3 Bedroom. Property is fine. There is a kind of knowing that comes from the body before it reaches the mind. John Updike, in Hoeing, writes toward that truth—the slow, honest rhythm of work, the way land answers effort, the way attention itself becomes a form of prayer. The poem isn’t really about farming so much as it is about relationship: between hands and soil, time and patience, effort and reward. This land lives in that same conversation. Here, the ground is not asking to be conquered or corrected. It lies open and level, as if already prepared—inviting rather than demanding. The ease of the terrain is not an accident; it’s the result of years of care, of being worked and respected by a neighboring farm that understands the quiet intelligence of soil. You can feel it underfoot. This is ground that knows what it means to be useful, and also what it means to rest. The views stretch outward without effort. No climbing, no carving, no strain—just space unfolding naturally, the horizon meeting you where you stand. It’s the kind of openness that gives you room to breathe, room to think, room to imagine what life could look like if it weren’t rushed or crowded. And then there’s the creek. Not ornamental. Not seasonal. Not an afterthought. It moves with its own steady purpose, offering sound and motion and life to the land. Water like this doesn’t just decorate a property—it defines it. It draws wildlife, cools summer afternoons, and anchors the land in something timeless. Sit nearby long enough and you’ll notice how it recalibrates your sense of time, how conversations slow, how plans feel less urgent and more intentional. This property offers flexibility without chaos—rare ground that allows you to choose how you want to engage with it. Build a conventional home and settle in with permanence, confidence, and clarity. Or keep it recreational: pull in your camper, park with ease, and enjoy the land as it is, when you want it, without pressure or deadlines. The land doesn’t rush you. It never has. There’s also the very real potential for a hobby farm—one that doesn’t require heroic effort just to get started. The level ground, the history of cultivation nearby, the water, the openness—it’s all already here. This is land that remembers how to be worked and welcomes it again, if that’s what you choose. Like the act of hoeing in Updike’s poem, this place isn’t about spectacle. It’s about rhythm. About showing up. About letting effort be honest and reward be quiet. It’s about mornings that begin with mist over the creek and evenings that end with long shadows across open ground. It’s about land that doesn’t need to prove itself because it already knows what it is. Some properties shout. This one listens. And for the right person—the one who understands that stewardship can be both practical and poetic—it answers back.
