    Description

    Nearly 50 acres of unrestricted mountain land in Mars Hill, NC - with underground power, private road access, long-range mountain views, and major improvements already in place.
    This rare West Yancey County tract offers the kind of opportunity buyers search for but rarely find: privacy, elevation, usability, infrastructure, and location, all just minutes from I-26, Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort, and Wolf Laurel Country Club.

    Located on Windy Gap Road near the Madison/Yancey County line, this 49.38-acre tract sits in a highly desirable mountain corridor between Asheville, NC and Johnson City, TN. Whether you are looking for a private mountain estate, family compound, vacation rental retreat, recreational property, investment tract, development opportunity, or off-grid homestead, this property gives you the freedom to bring your vision to life. With no restrictions, no HOA, and no city taxes, the possibilities are wide open.

    What sets this property apart from typical raw mountain land is the value already built in. A private gravel road is in place, giving access through the property, and underground power runs along the road corridor. Those are costly, time-consuming improvements that can make a major difference when evaluating mountain acreage. Multiple potential homesites offer breathtaking mountain and winter views, with a mix of hilly, rolling, sloped, and level areas throughout the tract. This is property has that true Western North Carolina mountain feel buyers are looking for.

    The location is another major advantage. Enjoy the peace and privacy of a large mountain tract while still being approximately 5 miles from I-26 and about 9 miles from Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort, formerly Wolf Laurel. Hatley Pointe has brought renewed energy to the area with skiing, dining, mountain recreation, and a growing resort atmosphere. Nearby Wolf Laurel Country Club adds even more lifestyle appeal with golf, mountain views, and established community amenities in the surrounding area. This is the kind of location that works for a second home, short-term rental concept, private retreat, or long-term land investment.

    The property is also in Yancey County, outside city limits, with no zoning, giving buyers additional flexibility for residential, recreational, agricultural, timber, development, tree farm, or private estate use. Timber was logged over 20 years ago, offering potential present and future timber value. The existing road is currently maintained in connection with access to the upper tract/cell tower area, which benefits access and helps preserve the road corridor over time.

    From sunrise views and wooded trails to future cabins, estate homes, tiny homes, glamping sites, vacation rentals, or a private mountain sanctuary, this tract has the scale and setting to support something special. Large acreage near Mars Hill, Hatley Pointe, Wolf Laurel, I-26, Asheville, and the Tennessee border continues to be increasingly hard to find, especially with underground utilities and road access already in place.

    This is more than land. It is a chance to own a piece of the Blue Ridge Mountains with privacy, infrastructure, views, flexibility, and long-term potential. Bring your boots, your vision, and your imagination - this mountain tract is ready for its next chapter.

      "We lived here year round for 12 years, & would NOT be leaving if not for our aging parents & their need for our care. All 4 seasons are a blessing & it makes choosing a favorite season impossible. Western Sunsets will rival any in the world! Read this list of possibilities for anyone who is interested in a second home (for any season) or a wonderful all year getaway. This cabin provides the real cabin experience, not a fabricated version. It's cozy, well heated & in a GREAT, if not THE perfect location on the mountain. It makes coming and going easy & fast by mountain living standards. You have year round access to main roads which are kept cleared & well maintained. There is little mountain traffic on Oakridge & you have a shorter drive in & out of the community than most other residents. If you play Golf, you may never find a place you like to play better than Wolf Laurel Country Club. There is little maintenance to do in an antique cabin as you do not want to compromise the integrity of the beautiful logs which are everlasting! The appliances are relatively new & water pressure is great! There is little yard maintenance due to the abundance of natural fauna. The cabin is a 5 minute drive to the Ski Resort. Mars Hill provides great Grocery Shopping @ Ingles, CVS, & the quaint & great restaurants are there, only 20 minutes away. Weaverville has other shopping & dining & is a 30 minute drive from the cabin. You are also 10 minutes from the TN/NC border & a short drive to Johnson City TN. Walking anywhere @ Wolf Laurel is an adventure in Nature. We are some of the people written about who take food & beverages to the through-hikers to meet people from ALL OVER THE WORLD on the Appalachian Trail which is a 2 mile hike from the cabin. On a personal note: I will forever"
