Exceptional Value - Prime mountain acreage with existing road and underground power. Experience nearly 50 acres of pristine mountain land in Mars Hill, NC, just 5 miles from I-26 and approximately 9 miles from Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort (featuring four restaurants and a coffee/juice bar; formerly Wolf Laurel). This exceptional property features underground power, a private gravel road, and multiple homesites with breathtaking mountain views. With no restrictions, the possibilities are endless—design your dream estate, create a vacation rental retreat, or establish a secluded homestead. The property is in Yancey County, so there is no zoning. Nestled near the Tennessee border, this land offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility, with Asheville and Johnson City just a short drive away. Added perk: the lessee of the tract at the very top has a ground lease and maintains the road. Why that benefits you:
Reliable, year-round access kept up for carrier vehicles (which helps you, too).
Maintenance at their expense inside the corridor (grading/rock/brush/drainage).
Predictable, surveyed location—the road/utility centerlines are recorded.
Professional standards & insurance—national-carrier protocols.
Long-term continuity—5-year terms with renewal options, so upkeep is expected to continue for the life of the lease.
Extra value you’re getting with this tract:
Existing road and power—both are costly improvements already in place, saving you significant time and money versus raw land.
Timber value—the stand is ~20 years old, offering additional present and future value. Whether you're a developer, investor, or off-grid enthusiast, this is a fantastic chance to own prime mountain property in a fast-growing area, on the West end of Yancey County.
