About this home
Tucked behind a gated entrance along a quiet paved road in the North Cove area of McDowell County, this 1.32-acre wooded parcel offers the kind of mountain solitude that's getting harder to find. Mature hardwoods, white pines, and native rhododendron blanket the slope, while mountain ridgelines peek through the canopy in summer and open wide come fall. The lot rises with the terrain the way mountain land should, giving a future cabin natural elevation and privacy from the road. Grandfather Mountain, Linville Gorge, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are minutes away, with the small town of Marion close enough for everything you need and far enough to feel like you've left it all behind. Gated community with paved private roads and $250/year HOA dues. Buyer to conduct soil evaluation for septic suitability and verify all restrictions. No perc test on file.
