1623 Ammons Branch Road, Marshall, NC

About the home

Welcome to a rare and extraordinary opportunity to own 137 acres of impeccably maintained land in the heart of nature along with a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom brick ranch home. Whether you’re dreaming of a private estate, working farm, homestead, equestrian property, compound, or development project, this stunning property offers the versatility and natural beauty to bring your vision to life. This is your chance to own pristine mountain land with exceptional potential. Gently rolling pastures transition to steeper, wooded areas, offering a dynamic mix of open, usable space and forested terrain. The majority of the property is fenced (barbed-wire) and hot-wired, ideal for livestock or equestrian use. Currently used as a cattle ranch, the land is turn-key ready for agricultural pursuits or can easily be repurposed for recreation, conservation, or residential development. Multiple potential homesites dot the landscape, including locations at higher elevations with panoramic, long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rough roads/trails are already in place leading to the top of the property, where the views are absolutely breathtaking—perfect for a future dream home or cabin. A spring on the land currently supplies water to the existing home, adding to the property's self-sufficient appeal. There’s also logging potential for those interested in timber resources. The 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath house offers flexibility. It can be renovated to your taste, used as temporary housing while you build, or kept as a guest home. A covered front porch invites you to relax and take in the surrounding beauty. A new septic system (2023), and newer roof (2018) and windows (2017), add to the value. Additional features include an idyllic, large barn that was once used for tobacco, and a tractor shed. The possibilities here are nearly limitless. Don’t miss your chance to explore all that this incredible property has to offer. Ten minutes to downtown Marshall and the grocery store, 30 minutes to downtown Asheville. The home, additional structures, and land are being sold as-is.
