About this home

Rare opportunity to own 6.500 surveyed acres along the Catawba River just outside Marion. Identified as Tract 3 on the current survey, this distinctive property offers approximately 204 feet of frontage along Old Greenlee Road, extends across the Catawba River and includes land on both sides of the water. The setting combines a wide river channel, natural shoreline, gravel bars, shaded riverbanks, wooded privacy, open areas and abundant wildlife. Bring your vision for a private river retreat, weekend getaway, fishing base, paddling destination, hunting property or peaceful place to reconnect with nature. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, picnicking and relaxing beside one of McDowell County's signature waterways. The acreage may also offer opportunities for walking trails, wildlife habitat, gardens, pasture or other low-intensity agricultural uses. Buyers may wish to explore an elevated home or cabin, small homestead, private campsite, RV or glamping retreat, conservation property or long-term land investment, subject to all required approvals. With road frontage, river access and 6.5 acres to enjoy, the property offers versatility for recreation today and possibilities for the future. The location feels private and tucked away while remaining convenient to Marion, Old Fort and I-40. Tract 3 is shown as 6.500 acres on the current survey. Public mapping identifies portions of the river corridor within FEMA Zone AE. Any proposed residence, cabin, septic system, well, driveway, bridge, ford, camping operation, agricultural activity or commercial use is subject to applicable floodplain, environmental health, access, zoning and building requirements. Access to all portions of the property, road maintenance, utilities, soils, septic suitability and buildability should be independently verified. Buyer and buyer's agent should complete all desired due diligence with McDowell County, NCDOT, Environmental Health, a surveyor and other appropriate professionals.
