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!
