2514 Oakdale Road, Old Fort, NC

The quietude of the Blue Ridge foothills defines this twenty-five-acre estate in Old Fort, where privacy is anchored by a mature hardwood canopy and an established private trail network. Constructed in 2014, the residence spans nearly 4,000 square feet, offering a three-bedroom, five-bathroom layout designed for the pragmatic demands of mountain living. The interior architectural program emphasizes volume and light, featuring a great room centered on a stone hearth that transitions into a kitchen equipped with custom cabinetry and a substantial pantry. A main-level primary suite connects directly to an expansive screened porch, providing a deliberate bridge between the refined living spaces and the surrounding forest. As the Old Fort Gateway Trail System continues to attract investment to the area, large-acreage parcels within fifteen minutes of Black Mountain have become increasingly scarce, representing a stabilizing asset in the regional portfolio. This property provides a sophisticated retreat for those prioritizing seclusion without sacrificing proximity to urban amenities. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
