This 13.3 ± acre private wooded homesite in Lookout Pointe offers sweeping, layered long-range mountain views, a year-round creek, and true privacy in Madison County, NC, just over 30 minutes from the west side of Asheville. The terrain is steep overall, allowing for the breathtaking viewshed, and its natural woodland has many old logging roads that make great walking trails. The building area sits at roughly 3,700 feet, just below the road, where the ground levels out slightly to build for long-range views south over Sandymush and layered Blue Ridge peaks. Views are seasonal now, but selective clearing could open them year-round. Trails also lead past granite boulders to Little Sandymush Creek, which tumbles over small waterfalls along the western border. A septic permit was previously approved for a 4-bedroom home. It has since expired but shows what is possible on this land. And a Helene caused slope failure along the road has been repaired, making this ready for you to build your vision. This is a rare find for a buyer wanting big views, privacy, and a water feature. A true mountain retreat or forever homesite.

First time on the market in more than 125 years. Held by the same family for generations, this extraordinary 124± acre legacy property presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the largest privately held tracts along the French Broad River in Western North Carolina. With nearly a mile (5,000+ feet) of French Broad River frontage and approximately five acres of level river-bottom land, the property offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty, privacy, and versatility. Towering hardwoods, open bottomland, mountain views, abundant wildlife, and one of North America's oldest rivers create a setting that is both timeless and inspiring. Properties of this scale and character are exceedingly rare. Whether envisioned as a private riverfront estate, sporting retreat, equestrian property, boutique lodge, wellness sanctuary, family compound, conservation holding, or long-term investment, the possibilities are limited only by imagination. The extensive river frontage invites fishing, kayaking, tubing, and riverside recreation, while the surrounding acreage provides ample room for trails, horseback riding, hunting, and outdoor adventure. Located within easy reach of Asheville, the property combines remarkable seclusion with convenient access to restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and regional attractions, making it equally appealing as a private retreat or hospitality destination. Steeped in history, this land tells a story that stretches back centuries. Long before European settlement, Cherokee people traveled and camped along the banks of the French Broad River. For more than a century afterward, the same family carefully stewarded this land, farming its fertile river-bottom fields and preserving its natural beauty for future generations. Today, that legacy is offered to the market for the very first time. This is far more than acreage—it is an irreplaceable riverfront legacy, a rare investment in one of Western North Carolina's most coveted natural corridors, and an opportunity that may not present itself again for generations. The next chapter is yours to write.

Tucked into the mountains of Mars Hill near the Madison/Yancey County line, nearly 59 acres that have remained in the same family since the 1800s are being offered for sale for the first time. For the first time in generations, this Madison County mountain property is ready for its next chapter. This is the kind of land buyers search for and rarely find all in one tract. Start at the bottom with open pasture, a beautiful old barn, creek, and a spring. Remnants of the property’s long history are still here, including a primitive cabin and old dwelling. They are being conveyed as-is, with no value attributed and no representation as to condition or suitability for occupancy, but they offer a glimpse into the generations who called this mountain home. Then follow the mountain upward through mature woods, along an existing rough road and trail system, where the elevation climbs, the privacy deepens, and long-range mountain views begin to open up near the top. For the buyer with vision, the possibilities are wide open: create a private mountain estate, establish a homestead, explore the potential for a family compound, hunt, hike, ride ATVs, keep the pasture open, or simply own a substantial piece of Western North Carolina and preserve it for the next generation. Twin Oaks Road is paved nearly to the property. From there, the interior road climbs, and it is currently best suited for ATV or appropriate four-wheel-drive access. No septic or electrical service is currently installed. Buyers should independently verify septic suitability, utilities, access, structural condition, and suitability of the property for their intended use. There are plenty of places to buy acreage. There are far fewer places where you get pasture, water, a barn, history, privacy, mountain views, and nearly 59 acres to make entirely your own. Call me today to schedule a showing!

Welcome to Little Bodhi Creek Farm Stay, an extraordinary 106-acre former tobacco farm in the heart of Madison County that serves as an eccentric, peaceful "hippie haven" rich with mature chestnuts, sassafras, native plant species, multiple creeks, waterfalls, natural springs, and impressive historic structures. Dense woods seamlessly run into rolling meadows, historic logging roads, and protected ridgetops, creating a landscape reminiscent of nearby Max Patch where wildlife like elk, deer, and bear roam freely. At the start of the acreage, an original four-bedroom farmhouse boasts gorgeous stonework and various significant updates for smart-modern mountain living, featuring a preserved yet remodeled interior with unpainted woodwork and stunning original hardwoods throughout both levels that presents an incredible opportunity for historical restoration. Expansive trails and roads lead you into every nook and cranny of the total acreage. Multiple pastures, flat landscapes, a stunning man-made pond, beautiful hand-built retaining walls, and altars offer the perfect backdrop for a gorgeous wedding venue, concert space, horse farm, multi-generational compound, or an expanded cabin retreat. Perfect for long-term investment holding. In addition to the main farmhouse, the property includes rich infrastructure and four historic, off-grid cabins—originally from Yancey County—that were carefully preserved and relocated here to previously offer a unique overnight glamping experience completely unplugged from utilities. Also, an earthen two-story greenhouse provides a studio or workshop. The barn has a septic connection, a bathhouse, and natural fed-spring water connection from a nearby waterfall. While you will feel fully immersed in a simpler, peaceful time, this mountain retreat is exceptionally well-located: just 9 minutes to the Spring Creek Community Center (with pickleball, the general store, and recycling, 11 minutes to the Trust General Store & Café). 20 minutes to Max Patch, and only 30 minutes to the vibrant town of Hot Springs (with the Appalachian Trail, dining, and river adventures.) Come visit today!
