Experience a truly extraordinary 29+ acre mountain sanctuary in the heart of Madison County. Lovingly stewarded by its current owners, this rare property offers a unique blend of usable land, privacy, infrastructure, and limitless potential.
The front portion of the property features a nostalgic tobacco barn in excellent condition, open pastureland, multiple storage buildings, a 2-bedroom septic system already installed, electricity connected, and a peaceful creek bordering the land.
Venture deeper into the property and discover the true magic of the back 27 acres—an exceptionally private valley surrounded by nature. Here you'll find two beautifully crafted off-grid homes built with milled lumber harvested from the property. Both structures are dried-in, insulated, and finished with stunning reclaimed wood interiors. The larger cabin offers approximately 700 square feet on the main level, with a lower level ready to be finished for additional living space, creating an ideal full-time residence or retreat. A septic plan and map are available upon request.
The second cabin is thoughtfully designed with loft space and enjoys a sunny south-facing orientation overlooking a beautiful meadow. This area offers incredible potential for a homestead, farmstead, gardens, orchards, or additional recreational use. Both cabins are supplied by spring water, while a small creek meanders through the valley, enhancing the peaceful setting.
Well-maintained logging roads and trails wind throughout the property, providing access to numerous potential homesites. Several elevated locations offer the possibility of spectacular long-range mountain views, including ridgeline sites with truly epic vistas. Whether used for hiking, exploring, or accessing future homesites, these trails add tremendous value and enjoyment to the land.
Enjoy complete privacy and serenity while remaining just minutes from the recreational opportunities of the French Broad River, including kayaking, rafting, fishing, and riverside adventures. Conveniently located near the shops, restaurants, and growing arts scene of downtown Marshall, with Asheville's renowned dining, music, and cultural attractions within easy reach.
A rare opportunity to own a legacy property offering off-grid living, homesteading potential, multiple homesites, abundant water resources, and exceptional natural beauty in one of Western North Carolina's most sought-after mountain communities.
