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.

***Buyer simply changed her mind which means someone else has the amazing opportunity to tour, purchase and make 55 Beamon their forever home. Don't wait this was only an active listing for a day before the offers started coming in. Second chances like this don't come often!! Call today and get your showing scheduled.*** Nearly a century of character, thoughtfully restored for the way we live today. Built in 1929, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been a true labor of love, with the current owners spending the past five years carefully restoring and improving the property while honoring the craftsmanship and character of its era. Step inside and you'll immediately see details that simply aren't found in most newer homes—stunning original hardwood floors, substantial window and door casings, beautiful moldings and original fireplace surrounds that preserve the home's history. While the original fireplaces have been closed and are no longer in use, their craftsmanship remains an integral part of the home's character. One fireplace has been brought back to life with the addition of a wood stove, creating a wonderfully cozy gathering space. The kitchen was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, combining modern function with finishes thoughtfully selected to complement the home's age. Subway tile extends all the way to the ceiling, while butcher-block countertops on the island, gold-tone fixtures, custom-built pantry doors and replaced appliances create a space that feels fresh without feeling out of place in a 1929 home. That same attention to detail carries into both renovated bathrooms. Rather than simply installing contemporary finishes, the owners intentionally selected materials and fixtures that reference the home's original era. One bath features classic subway tile, rich color, traditional-style fixtures and a beautiful stained-glass transom above the door. Even the new bathtub was specifically selected for its vintage-inspired design, complemented by warm brass fixtures and carefully chosen finishes. These are renovations designed to belong in this house—not erase its history. An enclosed former porch was also completely transformed into a functional mudroom and laundry room. The floors were leveled and the space rebuilt to create an entirely new everyday-use area. And the improvements go well beyond cosmetics. Within the past five years, the owners have replaced the HVAC system, added a mini-split upstairs, upgraded the electrical, encapsulated the crawl space, installed new lighting, added new decking and provided a generator connection—with the generator conveying. A standing-seam metal roof adds another substantial improvement. Outside may be every bit as special as the interior. New pathways wind through thoughtfully created gardens filled with both ornamental plantings and an impressive collection of established edibles, including strawberries, asparagus, apples, cherries, figs, peaches, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, along with raised garden beds and more. Relax on the deck, gather around the firepit, work in the garden or simply enjoy this tucked-away setting beneath the trees. Conveniently located near downtown and Lake James, this isn't simply an older home that has been remodeled. It is a 1929 home that has been carefully brought forward while allowing the craftsmanship, warmth and personality of its past to remain. From the gardens and outdoor spaces to the smallest interior details, the work here has been researched, considered and completed with care. Come appreciate the labor of love that's already been poured into this home—and add your own chapter to its nearly 100-year story.

There’s something special about an old farmhouse just waiting to be brought back to life and this Glenwood property is ready for its next chapter! Set on a wonderfully flat yard with ample parking and plenty of space for outdoor gatherings, this property has the setting, character and bones to inspire someone with a vision. Inside, you’ll find gorgeous hardwood flooring, large rooms throughout the main level and a spacious full bathroom. There’s an undeniable “old house charm” here, and with the right updates and renovations, it’s easy to imagine these spaces coming alive again. Upstairs are two bedroom spaces(bonus room that previously functioned as a third bedroom), giving you even more room to work with as you restore this home to its full potential. The home is heated by a furnace; however, when the furnace was replaced, it appears the vent piping was not connected to the upstairs vent, and the upper level is not currently receiving heat from the furnace. For this reason, the upstairs square footage is being reported as Non-HLA (non-heated living area). There is no bathroom upstairs. Buyers are encouraged to investigate the heating system and requirements for bringing this area into heated living area to their satisfaction. And the farmhouse feel doesn’t stop at the house! An old barn and older singlewide are also located on the property, adding to the story AND the possibilities. The condition and functionality of the singlewide are unknown, while the barn appears to be in poor condition and may require significant repair or removal. Buyers should independently evaluate both structures. Make no mistake, this is a true fixer-upper and will require someone prepared to put in the work or hire the professionals to do it. But with beautiful hardwoods, generously sized rooms, a flat yard, ample parking and a desirable Glenwood location, there is plenty here worth bringing back to life. If old homes, farmhouse character and a good “before and after” speak to you, come see the possibilities for yourself! Cash preferred; conventional financing will be considered.

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.

With protected forestland as your neighbor and breathtaking mountain vistas stretching to the horizon, you’ll enjoy a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and an unparalleled connection to the outdoors. From sunrise over the ridgelines to evenings gathered around the fire table beneath a canopy of stars, every inch of this property was designed to showcase the view. The main level welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, rich wood finishes, and an open-concept living area anchored by a stone fireplace. The mountains become part of the décor, filling the home with a constantly changing backdrop that can be enjoyed from nearly every gathering space. Comfort is enhanced year round by a highly efficient 4-zone heat pump system, allowing customized climate control throughout the home. Step outside to expansive covered and open air decking (approx 1800 sq ft) where you’ll find multiple areas for dining, entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, sharing a bottle of wine by the fire pit, or enjoying coffee on the porch, the view is always center stage. Offering 5 functioning bedrooms, 3 full baths, and three levels of living space, the home comfortably accommodates family and guests. (Septic permit is for 4 bedrooms.) The lower level recreation room creates the perfect gathering spot for game nights and mountain getaways, while the private upper level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Lower level is also plumbed for another kitchen for added expansion opportunities! For investors and second home buyers alike, the property also boasts an impressive vacation rental history, making it an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the mountain lifestyle while generating income. Offered fully furnished, this is a rare turnkey opportunity. Simply arrive, unpack, and start enjoying the views. Adding even more value, an additional lot conveys with the property and already has electric service and a transformer in place, providing a rare opportunity for a future guest house, second residence, or expanded family compound. With 5.59 acres, direct adjacency to Pisgah National Forest, expansive outdoor living spaces and views that simply cannot be replicated, this is more than a mountain home… it’s a MOUNTAIN DESTINATION. The home is exceptional. The setting is unforgettable. The view is why you’ll never want to leave.

Discover one of the best waterfront values currently available in The Peninsula at Lake James. This exceptional 0.8 acre homesite offers the rare combination of expansive long range lake and mountain views, a highly desirable level building area, and 102 feet of shoreline along the crystal clear waters of Lake James. Whether you are dreaming of a full time residence or a private mountain lake retreat, this property provides an outstanding canvas for bringing your vision to life. Positioned to capture stunning views across the lake, the homesite features a gently situated building envelope that makes planning and construction easier while maximizing both privacy and scenery. Imagine waking each morning to sparkling water views and ending your evenings with colorful sunsets reflected across the lake and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The Peninsula is one of Lake James’ most sought after waterfront communities, known for its natural beauty, upscale homes, and peaceful setting. This lot offers direct waterfront access and is considered dockable, providing the potential for convenient boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding right from your property. A pier permit has not yet been issued and will need to be obtained through Duke Energy, allowing future owners the opportunity to pursue dock approval based on their plans and specifications. The shoreline descends steeply from the homesite to the water, creating elevated views that enhance the property's dramatic lakefront setting. The walk to the shoreline is steep, but the reward is direct access to one of North Carolina’s most beautiful lakes and the opportunity to enjoy everything Lake James has to offer. Waterfront opportunities at this price point are exceptionally rare on Lake James. Over the past 12 months, only four dockable waterfront lots have sold for less than $325,000. With 102 feet of shoreline, breathtaking long range lake views, a level building area, and dock potential pending Duke Energy approval, this property presents a unique opportunity to secure a coveted waterfront homesite before inventory becomes even more limited. Located just minutes from Lake James State Park, Fonta Flora Trail, downtown Morganton, and Marion, this property combines the serenity of mountain lake living with convenient access to dining, shopping, breweries, hiking trails, and outdoor recreation. Spend your days boating on more than 6,800 acres of pristine water, exploring miles of nearby trails, or simply relaxing and taking in the incredible scenery from your future deck. Please note that no septic permit has been issued for this lot. Buyers are encouraged to complete their own due diligence regarding septic evaluation, pier permitting, and building plans. Opportunities to find a waterfront homesite with long range views, a level building area, generous shoreline frontage, and dock potential in The Peninsula are increasingly rare. Whether you envision a luxury lakefront estate, a weekend getaway, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this homesite offers the location, views, and potential to create something truly special on Lake James.
