Tucked into the coveted Marion Lake Club community, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront haven spans 3,060 square feet of impeccable craftsmanship and lake-life luxury. From the moment you arrive, the home's exterior—wrapped entirely in rock and brick back in 2008—makes a bold first impression and promises quality built to endure. Inside, the details speak volumes: hickory hardwood floors, custom hickory cabinets, quartz countertops in the kitchen and baths, plantation shutters, Roman shades, and gas logs that make chilly mountain evenings downright cozy. Tinted glass windows on the lake side frame those amazing views without the glare, while a generous laundry room keeps everyday living effortless. Downstairs, a spacious game room, two full baths, and a second primary bedroom with ceramic wood flooring create the perfect retreat for guests or gatherings. The large walk-in closet on Lower level was previously a 3rd bedroom, which could easily be converted back to a bedroom again. The outdoor space is where this property truly shines. Weather-resistant IPE wood decks, an outdoor kitchenette, and a back porch positioned to catch glorious sunrises invite you to linger. A finished gazebo with electricity, a private boat dock with lift for a triple pontoon, swim ladder, and sun deck complete the waterfront dream. Brown metal roofs on the house, gazebo, and dock add lasting durability, and a brand-new electrical panel keeps everything modern. Beyond your doorstep, Lake James State Park, the Fonta Flora State Trail, and the Marion Lake Club dining scene are all just minutes away. Subdivision road was just repaved after the City Water lines install was completed. Waterfront quality like this rarely surfaces. Schedule your private showing before it slips away.

Perched in a gorgeous mountain setting with sweeping views, this 3 bed/2 bath home offers the kind of peace and quiet most people only dream about — yet you're right outside the charming town of Old Fort, 20 minutes from Black Mountain, and 35 minutes from downtown Asheville. Waterfalls, hiking, breweries, galleries, live music — all of it when you want it, none of it when you don't. The front porch alone is worth the drive. Morning coffee with a panoramic sunrise. Evening wine as the ridgelines turn gold. The separate studio is perfect for artists, musicians, or a private guest retreat — and with septic lines already in place, a future permanent buildout is a very real possibility. The above ground pool is a bonus everyone will love, and the 3-car garage/barn adds serious practicality. The open pasture land is as buildable as it gets — there's even a second building site with a 3-bedroom septic already installed. Family compound, tiny home community, wellness retreat — the infrastructure is here. The canvas is yours. Real views. Real acreage. Real quiet. Real proximity to one of the most vibrant small cities in the country. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Call today. *Property is being surveyed, and will likely be larger than the listed acreage when complete.

There’s something about the mountains that makes you slow down… and the moment you pull into the drive, you feel it and when we say it's all about location- the location of this home speaks volumes. Perched above a rolling valleys with layer after layer of long-range mountain views and vistas, this nearly new home—completed at the end of 2024—was designed to take full advantage of its setting. Whether it’s the soft morning light rising over the ridgelines or the quiet stillness that settles in at sunset, every part of this property invites you to pause, take a breath, and stay awhile. Step inside and the feeling continues. The main level is warm, open, and welcoming, with a living room centered around a beautiful stone gas fireplace—perfect for cool mountain evenings. The kitchen blends charm and function with granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and gas range, while the dining area opens to a screened porch where you can enjoy the outdoors without ever leaving your seat. And then there’s the deck… over 800 square feet of it. This is where mornings begin with coffee (or Diet Coke ??), where conversations stretch a little longer, and where the views become part of your everyday life—wide, layered, and ever-changing with the seasons. The main floor offers two bedrooms and two full baths, thoughtfully laid out for comfort. Downstairs, the home opens up even more possibilities. With its own entrance—both inside and out—the lower level lives like a completely separate space, featuring a full kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath. Whether you’re hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or creating a second short-term rental, the flexibility here is a rare and valuable find. Step outside again and you’ll find just as much intention in the land as in the home itself. Carefully designed landscaping creates a peaceful, park-like setting, complete with a seasonal creek and a custom rock bridge that adds just the right touch of character. It’s quiet here. Private. The kind of place where you can actually hear the breeze move through the trees. Practical features haven’t been overlooked either, with a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, generous parking, and a large storage space tucked beneath the garage accessible from the downstairs living area—perfect for all the extras that come with mountain living. And while it feels like a world away, you’re still just minutes from it all—less than a mile to the Blue Ridge Parkway and a short drive to Little Switzerland, with easy access to hiking trails, waterfalls, and some of the most scenic spots Western North Carolina has to offer. This isn’t just a home—it’s a place to reset, recharge, and reconnect. Whether you’re looking for a private mountain escape, a full-time residence, or an income-producing retreat, this one offers something special… and once you’re here, you’ll understand why.
