Beautiful acreage with mountain views just off Old Fort Sugar Hill Road on Fox Road. This 25.19+/- acre tract has potential that only your dreams limit. A small portion of the property is located across Fox Road and has road frontage on Old Fort Sugar Hill Road, while the main portion has road frontage on Fox Road. Whether you are looking for a private permanent home, a family compound, a secondary home, a small farm or looking to develop, this unrestricted property has endless possibilities. This wooded tract is very walkable thru some existing ATV trails and has 2 flowing creeks on the property. One creek runs near the northwestern property line and a 2nd spring fed creek is in an ideal location for the construction of your own private pond. Multiple homesites exist or this could be your own private estate with opportunities for pastures, gardens, livestock etc. You are convenient to Old Fort, Marion and I-40 along with the recreational gems of pristine Lake James and the beautiful Western North Carolina mountains. This a great property if you are looking to commute to Buncombe County/Asheville to work but like the appeal of lower taxes and a slower pace of life with McDowell Counties small town atmosphere.
