Welcome to 3151 Lumptown Rd. in Marshall, NC. Back on the market through no fault of the property. Purchased in January 2026 from the original owner/builder. This fully custom 1880 sqft, 3 bedroom, 3 bath mountain home is available once again after unforeseen health issues prevented the current owner from moving in and enjoying the property as intended. The home has remained winterized and maintained, offering a rare opportunity for the next owner to make this special turnkey property their own. Set into a hillside overlooking a peaceful pastoral setting, the home pairs passive solar design, natural materials, and high-performance construction with thoughtful details and enduring quality. Built to exceed Energy Star and Green Built Home standards, it features dense-packed cellulose insulation, insulated slab construction, spray foam roof insulation above vaulted ceilings, and thoughtfully placed south-facing windows and overhangs that support year-round comfort. Mini-splits provide added seasonal flexibility. A fully owned 3.4kW grid-tied solar system with lithium-ion battery bank transfers with the property and can also operate independently off-grid. No solar lease. Inside and out, the craftsmanship reflects a deep connection to the land, with natural lime plaster, locally milled board-and-batten siding, American Clay plaster, BioShield clay paint, aluminum-clad wood Windsor windows, and custom oak, maple, and pine details sourced from the property itself. The land is just as compelling, with multiple springs, open fields, 1.75 fenced acres, wetland area, established garden space, garden shed, and underground irrigation infrastructure. Previously used for market gardening and small-scale livestock. This is a beautiful setting for a mini-farm, homesteading dreams, or a more intentional mountain lifestyle, with long-range views, Appalachian sunsets, and the kind of evenings best spent on the deck or soaking in the hot tub. Lumptown Road is state maintained.

Positioned along the 13th fairway of the private, member-owned Wolf Laurel Country Club and set at an elevation of approximately 4,100 feet, this distinctive mid-century modern home offers an uncommon combination of architectural character, extensive golf course frontage, and a uniquely framed mountain setting within one of Western North Carolina’s premier mountain communities. Designed to emphasize natural light and a connection to the outdoors, the home features soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive walls of glass, and an open, flowing layout that brings the surrounding landscape into the living spaces from nearly every angle. The dramatic great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and opens to expansive decking overlooking the golf course. The open-concept design continues into the kitchen and dining areas, with multiple access points extending the living space outdoors. A defining feature of the property is its golf course and mountain corridor view. The home’s positioning captures a layered perspective following the 13th fairway across the green, over the 14th tee box, and continuing down the 14th fairway toward the surrounding mountain ridgelines. This alignment creates a dynamic and visually engaging setting rarely found within the community. With approximately 550 feet of golf course frontage, the property offers an exceptional sense of openness and space. The approximately 1.75-acre homesite is notably large for Wolf Laurel and features gentle, usable topography—an uncommon combination at this elevation. Mature hardwoods, rhododendron, and native landscaping provide natural separation from neighboring homes, while small natural streams contribute to the property’s private, park-like mountain setting. The home offers generous living and gathering spaces, well-proportioned bedrooms, and a flexible floor plan suited to family, guests, and second-home living. Its distinctive architecture and exceptional setting also provide an opportunity for a new owner to personalize and update the property over time while preserving the character that makes the home unique. The property is offered furnished and equipped, subject to the sellers’ exceptions list. Located within the gated Wolf Laurel community, the property is convenient to year-round mountain recreation, including golf, skiing at Hatley Pointe, dining at Smoke and Timber, and extensive hiking and biking opportunities, including access to the Appalachian Trail. Additional amenities may be available through optional memberships at the Wolf Laurel Country Club and Village Club. Wolf Laurel is approximately 27 miles from Asheville, providing convenient access to one of Western North Carolina’s most recognized destinations for dining, craft breweries, live music, outdoor recreation, and year-round entertainment. Combining mid-century architecture, elevation, an unusually large homesite, extensive golf course frontage, and a remarkable mountain view corridor, 326 El Miner offers an opportunity to reimagine and enjoy a truly distinctive Wolf Laurel mountain property.
