Room to roam, room to create, and a little more room to dream. Finding 14.52 acres of usable land in the mountains of Western North Carolina is something special. Add in rolling pasture, long-range mountain views, frontage along Prices Creek, and a 2,800-square-foot insulated hangar, and you have a property that offers a little something different. Located just west of Burnsville, 124 Shootout Lane offers a rare combination of open land, water frontage, and existing infrastructure. Prices Creek borders one entire boundary of the property, adding a beautiful natural feature to the setting and bringing the sights and sounds of the creek into the landscape. Paired with the surrounding mountain scenery and open fields, it's a setting with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors and make the property your own. The level, cleared acreage could lend itself to a farm, equestrian property, private mountain estate, workshop, or other use that calls for room to spread out. The existing insulated metal building was previously used as a helicopter hangar and features three 16-foot overhead doors, a helipad, underground electrical service with 200-amp and 220-volt power, plumbing rough-ins, and an installed septic system. Whether you've been looking for land to farm, space for your equipment and projects, a place to build, or simply the freedom that comes with having acreage of your own, this property is worth a closer look. Electricity is connected, fiber-optic internet is available, and a shared well serves the property from adjoining land. Enjoy the open fields, creek frontage, and mountain scenery while still being a short drive from downtown Burnsville. With no HOA and no deeded restrictions discovered, there's room to explore what's possible, subject to applicable approvals and requirements. Properties with this much usable acreage, creek frontage, and an existing building like this don't come along every day in our corner of the mountains. If you've been looking for a property with room to work, grow, build, or simply spread out a little, 124 Shootout Lane deserves a closer look.

Some mountain properties have views, others offer water, usable land, or an easy drive to town. This one has all four and that combination is what makes it genuinely rare in Western North Carolina. Approximately 20+/- acres of open, rolling pasture unfold beneath mountain views in every direction. A creek-fed pond of roughly 1.5 acres sits near the center, while more than 2,000 feet of Bolens Creek forms the south boundary with full water access. Enjoy quiet mornings on the covered porch as mist rises from the pond, and evenings filled with the sound of the creek, wildlife in the fields, and summer fireflies. Despite the peaceful setting, downtown Burnsville is only four minutes away, the grocery store is two minutes away, and Asheville is approximately forty minutes away. At the center of the property is a custom timber frame home completed in 2024. Deep red cedar siding, a cupola, and a long covered front porch create a memorable exterior. Inside, cathedral tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, exposed timber posts and beams, oversized windows, and iron ring chandeliers create a bright, warm living space. The navy kitchen features a farmhouse apron sink, six-burner gas range, cedar sliding barn door, and walk-in pantry. Designed with both comfort and quality in mind, the home includes no-VOC ECOS stains and finishes, Greenguard Gold-certified flooring, spray foam insulation, whole-home water filtration, a whole-home generator, tankless water heater, underground 1,000-gallon propane tank, and Charter high-speed fiber.

The rear covered porch overlooks the pond and pastures and includes two infrared heaters for year-round enjoyment. For equestrian or homestead use, the property is truly turnkey. Connected to the home is a fully finished, insulated barn with six European-style stalls, Nelson automatic waterers, heated wash bay, generous tack room, Dutch doors to pasture, and a picture window overlooking the stall aisle from the living area. The land is fenced and cross-fenced with in-ground pasture waterers, run-in shelters, and frost-free hydrants. An established orchard includes 27 fruit trees, including apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots. The organically managed homestead also includes an enclosed raised-bed garden, two chicken coops with solar automatic doors, garden shed, children’s playscape, and covered sandbox. A substantial pole barn provides a concrete-floored main building, enclosed lean-tos, three overhead doors including a 16-foot RV-height door, conditioned flex rooms, workshop, spacious loft, and 220V service. In a scenic spot above the pond, a separate 16-by-24 schoolhouse is heated, cooled, and filled with windows, offering flexible space for a homeschool room, office, studio, or guest retreat. This is a rare property that ends the compromise. The views without isolation. The land without the impracticality. The privacy without the long drive to town. Whether your vision is horses, homesteading, room to breathe, or simply waking up to the Blue Ridge every morning, it was built with intention and obvious love, and it shows even better in person than in photographs.

Framed by mountain views and anchored by a bold creek, spring fed pond, pasture, gardens, apple trees, and room to truly breathe, this property invites you to slow down, create, gather, and live more intentionally. The main home is designed for comfortable one level living with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and inviting spaces that connect beautifully to the land around it. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and welcoming, while the dedicated office with fiber optic internet overlooks the creek and fields, creating an inspiring place to work, write, plan, or simply pause. Outdoor living is woven into daily life here, with a covered deck, screened in porch, stone patio with arbor draped in grapevines, and a private sundeck with jacuzzi just off the primary suite. A separate 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest house with full kitchen adds flexibility for guests, multi generational living, rental income, or creative use. In years past, this cottage served as a weaving studio, while the large barn was home to a woodworker and welcomed visitors during the local Toe River Arts Studio Tour. That creative spirit still lingers. Whether you envision an artist retreat, workshop, maker’s compound, teaching space, event venue, hobby farm, or homestead, the setting is ready for your next chapter. The multi-purpose barn offers generous open space for gatherings, projects, storage, or farming use, with four stalls and additional storage rooms below. The grounds tell their own story, vegetable gardens, apple trees, herb and berry plantings, open pasture, and fertile farmland that has supported a life close to the land. The wooded acreage is home to wildlife and invites quiet hikes. Practical features support the dream, with solar panels for sustainable living and reduced energy costs, and a whole house generator for peace of mind. Located just minutes from Downtown Burnsville and only 45 miles from Asheville, 53 miles to Asheville Regional Airport and Tri-Cities Airport is 56 miles away. This is not just a mountain property. It is a place with history, purpose, beauty, and room to build a meaningful life.
