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.

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.

Unlocking true mountain value requires looking past previous listing history. This property offers an intentional financial entry point designed to offset site development costs. A major strategic advantage of this parcel is its subdividable potential per POA covenants! The land offers the buyer post-closing flexibility to split the property into separate 5 acre and 10 acre tracts. This option allows an owner to build a primary residence on the upper section while holding or liquidating the remaining acreage to offset development capital. The topography features a natural build bench near the upper northwest ridge off the cul-de-sac around the 1,600 foot elevation mark, ideal for capturing long range views while controlling site prep expense. The steady slope moving down to the 1,400 foot level along the private stream provides natural gravity fed drainage, establishing a straightforward layout for traditional septic placement. To subdivide Lot 46 (15.61 acres) into a 5+ acre upper parcel and a 10+ acre lower parcel based strictly on its 20-foot elevation profile and boundary layout, execute the following technical plan: The Upper 5.1+ Acre Parcel (The Ridge Bench): Draw the new boundary line horizontally across the northern section of the parcel, roughly following the 1,540-foot contour line. This captures the highest elevation area (1,600 feet down to 1,540 feet) immediately adjacent to the South View Court cul-de-sac. It includes the widest contour line spacing, preserving the primary natural build bench for low-grade foundation construction and preserving long-range mountain views. The Lower 10.5+ Acre Parcel (The Stream Corridor): The remaining acreage spans from the 1,540-foot contour line down to the 1,400-foot line at the eastern/southeastern boundary. This tract contains the private stream corridor and dense woodland, creating a secluded estate site. Buyer to verify with support from a survey. Short-term rentals are allowed, making this property ideal for a private mountain home, vacation retreat, or income-producing cabin. Located in a gated community 5 minutes from I-40 and under 30 minutes to Lake James, this property combines seclusion with actionable logistics. Complete Property Owners Association covenants and contour maps available upon request and included in attachments.
