Welcome to 3151 Lumptown Rd. in Marshall, NC. Back on the market through no fault of the property. Purchased in January 2026 from the original owner/builder. This fully custom 1880 sqft, 3 bedroom, 3 bath mountain home is available once again after unforeseen health issues prevented the current owner from moving in and enjoying the property as intended. The home has remained winterized and maintained, offering a rare opportunity for the next owner to make this special turnkey property their own. Set into a hillside overlooking a peaceful pastoral setting, the home pairs passive solar design, natural materials, and high-performance construction with thoughtful details and enduring quality. Built to exceed Energy Star and Green Built Home standards, it features dense-packed cellulose insulation, insulated slab construction, spray foam roof insulation above vaulted ceilings, and thoughtfully placed south-facing windows and overhangs that support year-round comfort. Mini-splits provide added seasonal flexibility. A fully owned 3.4kW grid-tied solar system with lithium-ion battery bank transfers with the property and can also operate independently off-grid. No solar lease. Inside and out, the craftsmanship reflects a deep connection to the land, with natural lime plaster, locally milled board-and-batten siding, American Clay plaster, BioShield clay paint, aluminum-clad wood Windsor windows, and custom oak, maple, and pine details sourced from the property itself. The land is just as compelling, with multiple springs, open fields, 1.75 fenced acres, wetland area, established garden space, garden shed, and underground irrigation infrastructure. Previously used for market gardening and small-scale livestock. This is a beautiful setting for a mini-farm, homesteading dreams, or a more intentional mountain lifestyle, with long-range views, Appalachian sunsets, and the kind of evenings best spent on the deck or soaking in the hot tub. Lumptown Road is state maintained.
Welcome to this charming home with a European Provenance. Home offers 4 bedrooms & 3 baths, (listed as 3 bedrooms due to septic size) home sits overlooking flat pasture and fields, and end of road privacy that creates an amazing getaway homestead.
