Description
Unrestricted 18.9-Acre Mountain Estate Situated just 5 minutes from the breweries, shops, and outdoor lifestyle of downtown Old Fort, this prime 18.9-acre mountain property offers an extraordinary opportunity for developers, investors, or those seeking a multi-generational legacy estate with large creative workshop potential. Development & Subdivide Potential Featuring over 1, 000 feet of ridgeline with no restrictions, the acreage is uniquely positioned for future development. A road is partially roughed-in to the ridge, and a secondary road is fully roughed-in along the ridge’s entire length. The property boundary extends significantly down the southeastern slope toward Lavender Rd, providing the physical footprint to realistically support numerous additional premium homesites along the ridge. Tucked away for total privacy at the end of a private drive, the estate features a custom-built 2, 892 sq. ft. log home. Stepping inside, a great room opens with vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and massive windows that flood the space with natural light. The open-concept kitchen features custom hickory cabinetry and integrated appliances. Fine hickory flooring and cultured marble run throughout, bridging traditional log construction with contemporary refinement. The flexible floor plan includes 3 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths, highlighted by a primary suite with a dedicated soaking tub retreat. A separate home office serves as a remote-work sanctuary, complete with a half bath, floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, a dedicated 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber line, and glass doors opening to a private 12’ x 18’ deck. The massive 875 sq. ft. three-car garage includes a dedicated workspace for outdoor gear and projects. Thoughtfully engineered, the masonry chimney supporting the main floor’s soapstone wood stove extends directly down to this lower level, providing the built-in infrastructure to easily add a second stove for a heated, year-round workshop. Outdoor living is central to the property’s design. The expansive 800+ sq. ft. wrap-around deck functions as a true outdoor wing of the home. Enjoy quiet mornings enveloped by the lush privacy of your own forest and established trails. Whether envisioned as a high-performing vacation rental, a private sanctuary, or a multi-homesite development project, this property represents a rare and versatile acquisition in the Blue Ridge foothills.
