At 124.99 acres, this is not a small mountain parcel. It is a substantial tract with the space and privacy that come with owning a significant piece of land in one piece. For a buyer looking for acreage that can be held, explored, hunted, and enjoyed over time, this land for sale offers room to make your own decisions without starting with a small footprint.
The property is a big piece of wooded mountain land with considerable old-growth trees. Large tracts with old-growth trees are becoming more difficult to find, making this kind of land for sale increasingly uncommon.
Walnut Creek runs through the property, adding a natural water feature and another layer of character to the land. The creek, mature woods, mountain terrain, and secluded setting make this land for sale especially appealing for buyers who value natural surroundings and substantial acreage.
The property is also well suited for hunting and outdoor recreation. American ginseng may be found on the property, although its presence is not guaranteed.
Legal access is already in place through a 30-foot registered perpetual roadway easement over Old Yellow Mountain Road, connecting to SR 1566 (Peppers Creek Road). Power is approximately 0.4 mile from the property along Peppers Creek Road. Water, septic, well, and other utility availability are subject to independent verification.
The value of this land for sale is in what is already there: nearly 125 acres, mature wooded mountain land, Walnut Creek, a secluded setting, hunting appeal, and established legal access.
For a buyer searching for land for sale in western North Carolina, the scale alone makes this property unusual. There are plenty of smaller mountain parcels. Far fewer offer nearly 125 acres together.
You can own it now, hold it, explore it, hunt, and decide later what comes next. That is the advantage of owning a tract this size.
Near Marion, this land for sale also places you within reach of Lake James, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls, and other western North Carolina mountain destinations while keeping the property itself secluded and wooded.
If you have been looking for land for sale with real acreage, old-growth woods, a creek, hunting appeal, and established access, this property deserves a serious look.
