ON TOP OF THE WORLD! Perched on 4.36 private acres within the gated community of Grants Mountain, near Marion in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, this exceptional custom log home offers unobstructed, long-range mountain views year-round. Even when the leaves return, the view remains. From the home you can see panoramic vistas all the way to Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Mississippi. With 2,898 heated square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, and beautifully designed spaces inside and out, this is more than a mountain home. It is a true mountain retreat where you'll feel like you're "On Top of the World." From the moment you arrive, the setting captures your attention, but it's the thoughtful details that make this home so special. The great room is anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert, surrounded by windows that bring the mountains inside. The kitchen and dining area is large and open, filled with natural light, with a wall of windows leading out to the home's many outdoor living areas. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat. Upstairs, two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a loft. The lower level adds even more versatility, with a large two-car garage and a laundry/mechanical room. There is also a finished flex room with a stone-faced wet bar and home theater, plus an impressive 500 square feet of unfinished space ready for your vision. It could become a second primary suite, a game room, a fitness area, a workshop, or more living space. Step outside and you'll understand why this home truly lives above it all. Covered porches and expansive new decking create multiple spaces to relax, entertain, or simply sit quietly and take in the scenery. Morning coffee, afternoon sunsets, evening gatherings: every moment comes with a view. And then there's the detached two-story, three-car garage, with 32-foot-deep bays and 656 square feet on the second level. It's ideal for vehicles, outdoor toys, hobbies, or a workshop, and it offers great potential as a future accessory dwelling unit. A feature like this is rarely found on a mountain property. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system, a basement mini split, an on-demand tankless water heater, and a whole-house water filtration and softening system with UV purification. A reverse-osmosis system provides the purest drinking water. Despite its private mountain setting, you're only about 15 minutes from downtown Marion and I-40, 25 minutes from Lake James, and 45 minutes from Asheville. Linville Gorge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Pisgah National Forest are all within easy reach. Unobstructed long-range views. Exceptional privacy. Room to breathe, relax, entertain, and create. This is mountain living at its finest, a place where the views are extraordinary, the details matter, and every day feels like a getaway.

Unlocking true mountain value requires looking past previous listing history. This property offers an intentional financial entry point designed to offset site development costs. A major strategic advantage of this parcel is its subdividable potential per POA covenants! The land offers the buyer post-closing flexibility to split the property into separate 5 acre and 10 acre tracts. This option allows an owner to build a primary residence on the upper section while holding or liquidating the remaining acreage to offset development capital. The topography features a natural build bench near the upper northwest ridge off the cul-de-sac around the 1,600 foot elevation mark, ideal for capturing long range views while controlling site prep expense. The steady slope moving down to the 1,400 foot level along the private stream provides natural gravity fed drainage, establishing a straightforward layout for traditional septic placement. To subdivide Lot 46 (15.61 acres) into a 5+ acre upper parcel and a 10+ acre lower parcel based strictly on its 20-foot elevation profile and boundary layout, execute the following technical plan: The Upper 5.1+ Acre Parcel (The Ridge Bench): Draw the new boundary line horizontally across the northern section of the parcel, roughly following the 1,540-foot contour line. This captures the highest elevation area (1,600 feet down to 1,540 feet) immediately adjacent to the South View Court cul-de-sac. It includes the widest contour line spacing, preserving the primary natural build bench for low-grade foundation construction and preserving long-range mountain views. The Lower 10.5+ Acre Parcel (The Stream Corridor): The remaining acreage spans from the 1,540-foot contour line down to the 1,400-foot line at the eastern/southeastern boundary. This tract contains the private stream corridor and dense woodland, creating a secluded estate site. Buyer to verify with support from a survey. Short-term rentals are allowed, making this property ideal for a private mountain home, vacation retreat, or income-producing cabin. Located in a gated community 5 minutes from I-40 and under 30 minutes to Lake James, this property combines seclusion with actionable logistics. Complete Property Owners Association covenants and contour maps available upon request and included in attachments.
