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!

Elevated, protected long-range mountain views at approximately 2,470 feet—offered across nearly 8 contiguous acres with permanent view security. This exceptional property combines two contiguous lots spanning from upper paved road frontage to a secondary lower road access, creating a rare opportunity for uninterrupted, south-facing, layered mountain views overlooking the surrounding ridgelines and distant waters of Lake Lure far below. Because both parcels convey together, the view corridor is permanently protected from future development. Located at 100 Wolf Pen Road within the gated Gateway Mountain community, the property offers multiple ideal building sites, flexible driveway placement, and long-term privacy rarely found at this elevation. Despite nearly 8 acres of land, annual HOA dues apply to only one lot due to contiguous ownership. Gateway Mountain is a private, nature-focused community featuring preserved green space, waterfalls, hiking trails, and resident-only lakes and ponds. Site-built homes are required (minimum heated square footage of 1,275), maintaining architectural quality and long-term value throughout the community. Just minutes from Old Fort and within easy reach of Black Mountain and Asheville, this location offers the balance luxury buyers seek: elevation, views, privacy, and access to outdoor recreation, dining, and culture—without sacrificing convenience.

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.
