176 Laurel Branch Cemetery Road, Weaverville

$150,000

Positioned on 1.445 acres carved from a larger tract, this property offers a rare combination of accessibility, flexibility, and long-range potential. With most of the acreage along the road, it’s an ideal setup for investors, builders, or anyone looking to create a custom mountain retreat without the challenges of steep or landlocked terrain. The existing 1963 home (2BR/1BA) has been partially taken down to studs — creating a blank slate for a full renovation or a clean teardown for new construction. The footprint, along with existing infrastructure, could provide a valuable head start depending on your plans. A standout feature is the large wooden barn, offering storage, workshop space, or potential creative reuse. The land itself is gently sloped and usable, with mountain views and multiple potential build sites. Enjoy the charm of a front porch setting with views, plus a screened back porch area that hints at the property’s original character. Located just 10 minutes to both Mars Hill and Marshall, and only 20 minutes to Weaverville, you get the balance of quiet mountain living with easy access to growing small-town hubs. This is a project—but it’s the kind with upside. Whether you’re looking to build new, invest, or create a mountain getaway, the fundamentals here are solid. **FHA Renovation loans are available - contact agent for details!
