About this home

Live above the clouds at approximately 4,700 feet in elevation. This exceptional double lot in Wolf Laurel offers the elevation, privacy and dramatic view potential buyers seek in a true Blue Ridge Mountain homesite. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, the property enjoys an extraordinary position overlooking layers of mountain ridges, with the potential for sweeping long-range views through thoughtful homesite placement and selective clearing. With both adjoining lots included, the future owner has greater control over the surrounding trees and view corridor while preserving the natural beauty and privacy of the property. Located within the gated, 5,300-acre Wolf Laurel community near Mars Hill, this high-elevation property places you in one of Western North Carolina's most remarkable mountain settings. Wolf Laurel borders the Pisgah National Forest and offers direct access to the Appalachian Trail from within the gates, including the trail leading to nearby Big Bald. The community provides gated entry, security patrols and year-round road maintenance. Optional memberships offer access to the Wolf Laurel Country Club's 18-hole championship golf course, clubhouse dining, fitness facilities and year-round social activities. The Village Club offers additional recreation with a heated swimming pool, pavilion, pickleball and tennis courts, playground, stocked trout pond and seasonal community events. Hatley Pointe Mountain Resort and Smoke & Timber are also located within the community. Enjoy cool mountain summers, brilliant fall color and mornings when the clouds settle into the valleys below. Approximately 15 minutes from Mars Hill, 25 minutes from Weaverville, 20 minutes from Burnsville and 45 minutes from Asheville or Johnson City, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a private mountain retreat without giving up access to the surrounding towns. Bring your vision, walk the property and imagine the view. At this elevation, the possibilities are anything but ordinary.
