About This Property
Tucked within the gates of Rumbling Bald, this private mountain retreat offers the rare combination of walkability to amenities and a breathtaking natural setting. Set on 1.66 acres, the home overlooks the gentle flow of Buffalo Creek, complete with your own cascading waterfalls, creating a truly serene, park-like backdrop. Thoughtfully designed across four expansive levels, this residence effortlessly accommodates both everyday living and hosting extended family or guests. Three spacious decks invite you to take in the sights and sounds of the creek, offering the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The main level features a tranquil primary suite with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, an updated bath, and generous walk-in closet. The heart of the home is a large, well-appointed kitchen that opens to a sunroom, ideal for soaking in the surrounding beauty, alongside an inviting living area with a gas fireplace. Upstairs, a charming sitting area provides a quiet retreat for work or reading. The second level offers two bedrooms with direct deck access, a spacious living room with gas fireplace, and a versatile oversized laundry/game room conveniently connected to the two-car garage. The ground level is designed for entertaining, featuring a screened porch with winding paths leading to Buffalo Creek, a generous living area with a third gas fireplace, a built-in bar, and an additional flex room, perfect for guests or rental flexibility. With its exceptional layout, stunning natural surroundings, and access to all the amenities of Rumbling Bald, this property is ideally suited as a full-time residence or multi-family income producing vacation rental.
About the Neighborhood
Homes for sale in 28746 offer buyers a genuine mountain lifestyle in Marion, the McDowell County seat approximately 75 miles west of Charlotte via I-40, a small city positioned at the base of the Black Mountains with extraordinary outdoor recreation access and an authentic Appalachian character that distinguishes it from more heavily developed western Carolina communities. The residential landscape features mid-century brick ranch homes, traditional mountain cottages, and newer construction on generous lots, with a growing inventory of custom mountain homes responding to increased interest from buyers seeking Blue Ridge access at competitive price points. Downtown Marion along South Main Street anchors a revitalizing commercial identity, and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail corridor and Linville Gorge Wilderness — one of the most dramatic wilderness areas in the eastern United States — provide exceptional hiking and outdoor recreation directly within the county. Lake James State Park, featuring one of the cleanest lakes in the Carolinas for paddling and swimming, is within 15 minutes. The 28746 real estate market delivers mountain access, outdoor recreation proximity, and Appalachian character at price points that remain genuinely compelling relative to Asheville and the broader WNC market.
