Property Information

Discover one of Western North Carolina's most extraordinary legacy properties. Spanning approximately 269 acres in the scenic mountains of Madison County, NC, this rare estate encompasses five existing residences, and offers an unrivaled combination of privacy, versatility, and long-term investment potential. Whether your vision is a private mountain retreat, equestrian estate, legacy family compound, boutique hospitality venture, corporate retreat, conservation property, or a thoughtfully planned development, this remarkable property offers the scale, valuable existing infrastructure, and natural beauty to bring it to life.
Enjoy breathtaking long-range mountain views, rolling pastureland, wooded hiking and ATV trails, abundant wildlife, unmatched privacy, and countless potential home sites throughout the estate. The existing residences provide immediate flexibility for extended family, caretakers, guest accommodations, or rental income while preserving incredible opportunities for future growth.
Conveniently located just outside the charming town of Mars Hill, with easy access to Asheville, Hatley Pointe, Wolf Laurel, skiing, hiking, and year-round outdoor recreation, this is a once-in-a-generation chance to own one of Western North Carolina's most significant large-acreage mountain estates.

The property includes four move-in ready log homes plus an additional ranch-style residence, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, staff housing, or income-producing rentals. Additional improvements include a large workshop/garage with an apartment, a picturesque pond, and a massive greenhouse, each ready to be restored. Over a mile of paved roads dissect the acreage with gated access on both the eastern and western boundaries. Underground utilities throughout the property provide a rare foundation for future expansion. Beyond the improvements, multiple rolling pastures give way to hundreds of acres of mature hardwood forest, where an extensive network of trails winds through peaceful valleys and along scenic ridgelines.
Please NO DRIVE BYS and do not disturb the tenants.
