Property Information

Unrestricted Land with Pond & Barn Near Asheville! A rare Appalachian gem in Mars Hill, NC—more than land, it’s your mountain escape. Rolling meadows, a bold creek, and a private pond unfold across a beautiful landscape with long-range mountain views from multiple potential homesites. The classic red barn anchors the setting and offers inspiring possibilities—convert to an event or gathering space, an artist studio, workshop, or a rustic base for a future guesthouse or short-term rental retreat.

Secluded yet convenient: minutes to I-26, downtown Mars Hill, the TN line, and an easy drive to Asheville’s dining, universities, and medical hubs. The land blends open pasture and light woodland, giving you options for privacy, pasture, gardens, and trails. Gentle topography at several knolls makes siting a primary residence straightforward, with room for an accessory dwelling, cabin cluster, or multi-generational layout (buyer to verify with county). Bring the horses, tractors, bees, or big sky dreams.

Highlights you’ll love:
• Unrestricted Western NC acreage with attractive mix of meadow and woods
• Private pond + bold creek for ambience, wildlife, and pastoral views
• Multiple view homesites with easy-building topography in key areas
• Iconic red barn for storage now and creative re-use later (venue, studio, workshop, or STR potential with approvals)
• Natural buffers for privacy without feeling remote
• Close to Mars Hill University, outdoor recreation, skiing, rafting, and the Blue Ridge Parkway
• Convenient access to I-26 for Asheville/Johnson City commutes

Use ideas (subject to permits/approvals): private estate or family compound, hobby farm or horse property, homestead with gardens/orchard, studio-plus-residence, or a thoughtfully planned retreat with guest cabins.

This is legacy land—the kind you hold for decades. Quiet mornings by the pond, long golden evenings over the meadows, stars that actually show up. Dream big. Build bold. Own the mountain.

Qualified buyers may receive a lender-funded 1/0 temporary rate buydown—terms apply; ask your agent for details.
