Paradise on a bluff overlooking the French Broad River adjoining US Forest Service Land. Paint Rock Farm is a magical property, easy to get to, yet a lifetime removed from the stress of city living. With approximately 150 acres including nearly a MILE on the French Broad River and approximately 12 acres of flat laying open fields, this is a dream property. It has been operated successfully as a wedding/event venue for years and you can build upon this foundation. Tucked away from view of the state maintained paved road, the land offers a multitude of options. Existing improvements include underground power and high speed internet along with a strong well. Eleven "glamping" cabins provide overnight accommodations in a rustic chic setting. Each is fully enclosed with sumptuous bedding, classic barn interior, metal roofs, views and an outdoor deck. Six of these sit on the bluff looking down on the river below. Awaken to the sound of the river while sipping coffee on the deck. The other five are on the edge of the flower strewn field. Try counting the trillions of stars in the night sky. A large updated barn with catering kitchen has provided seating for more than 200 at events with dance floor and sound system. A very high quality bathhouse provides guests restroom and bathing facilities with hot water via a passive solar boosted system. The "Caretaker's Cabin" is a comfy 1BR/1BA house with kitchen and loft, ideal for an on site manager. Next to this you'll find a true "tiny home" of approximately 200 s.f. with sleeping loft, kitchen and bath. Other improvements include six RV sites of with utilities. Tucked away just inside the woods are several prepared tent platforms with covered shelter and two lovely sites for weddings looking out over the mountains. The abundance of flat fields provides parking for well over 100 vehicles. Approximately 111 acres are in a conservation easement that allow for hiking, camping, trails and hunting, but otherwise restrict development in that portion meaning it will always be pristine woodlands full of wildlife as your backyard. Sellers will place some very light restrictions on the remainder. In addition to the two existing 9 bedroom septic systems, permits are on hand for two more septic systems for four and two bedrooms, so come build your dream home. This property makes the perfect homestead/organic farm, event venue, down to earth RV park or family compound. ONLY financially qualified parties should inquire, and proof of funds are required prior to showing. Showing times may be limited due to ongoing rental activity, so plan ahead.

Outside, covered porches, open decks, stone terraces and expansive acreage create a private mountaintop retreat surrounded by hardwood forest and long range mountain scenery.

Unrestricted WNC acreage with a pond, barn, pasture, wooded build sites, and mountain views - this is the kind of property buyers search years to find. Tucked in the mountains of Mars Hill, just minutes from I-26, the Tennessee/North Carolina line, downtown Mars Hill, and within an easy drive to Asheville and Johnson City, this rare property offers the perfect blend of privacy, accessibility, and possibility. Set on 19.16 acres per deed/GIS, the land is a beautiful mix of open pasture, rolling meadow, wooded acreage, creek frontage, and usable spaces that invite big vision. Multiple potential build sites are tucked throughout the wooded acreage and open land, offering options for a future primary residence, guest cabins, a family compound, hobby farm, retreat property, or short-term rental concept. The landscape gives you the privacy buyers want without feeling isolated, and the setting delivers that unmistakable Appalachian charm - pasture, water, woods, mountain air, and room to breathe. The classic red barn anchors the property and creates an incredible focal point. Use it for storage, animals, equipment, a workshop, creative studio, or explore future possibilities such as an event space, wedding venue, gathering barn, or rustic retreat feature, subject to county approvals and permits. With no known restrictions, the property opens the door to ideas that many mountain properties simply cannot offer. Bring the horses, goats, chickens, gardens, bees, tractors, tools, or business vision. This is a property that can evolve with you. The existing home offers immediate use while you dream, plan, build, renovate, expand, or simply enjoy the land as it is. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a sunroom, wood floors, stone and tile details, and a peaceful setting, it has the character of an old mountain homestead and the flexibility to serve as a primary residence, weekend getaway, rental, caretaker’s cottage, or basecamp while developing the rest of the acreage. A private pond, bold creek, fenced pasture, fire pit, barn, shed, and outbuildings add to the function and charm. This property speaks to buyers who want more than a house. It speaks to those looking for land with purpose - homesteaders, investors, builders, outdoor enthusiasts, equestrian buyers, retreat creators, Airbnb hosts, multi-generational families, and anyone dreaming of a private mountain property with room to create something meaningful. Imagine mornings by the pond, evenings in the pasture, trails through the woods, cabins tucked into the trees, a garden near the creek, livestock in the field, guests gathering by the barn, or a future mountain home placed perfectly to take in the view. Whether your dream is a private estate, income-producing retreat, wedding or event concept, mini-farm, family compound, or legacy property to hold for generations, this Mars Hill acreage gives you the canvas. Convenient to Mars Hill University, Wolf Laurel, skiing, hiking, rafting, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville dining and medical services, and East Tennessee amenities, the location is one of the property’s strongest advantages. You can feel away from it all while still being connected to everything that makes Western North Carolina so desirable. Properties with this combination of unrestricted acreage, pasture, water features, barn, buildable land, existing home, mountain setting, and convenient location are increasingly hard to find. This is not just a listing—it is an opportunity to own a true Appalachian legacy property with room for your vision to grow. Dream big. Build bold. Bring your plans. This one is special.
