Land with Home for Sale in Marshall, North Carolina
55 Laurel Rdg, Marshall, NC 28753
Riverdance at Bear River Lodge sits within one of Western North Carolina's most coveted private communities - where residents enjoy exclusive access to over a mile of Big Laurel Creek, a pristine catch-and-release trout fishery running directly through the property. This isn't a nearby public stream. This is your stretch of wild water - over a mile of it - protected, private, and world-class. The property itself is a fully turnkey three-unit compound at 55 & 53 Laurel Ridge, set behind the gates of Bear River Lodge with sweeping long-range mountain views from every vantage point. The main residence features a primary 1-bed/1-bath suite on the main level, plus a fully self-contained lower apartment with its own private entrance and deck. The adjacent cottage at 53 Laurel Ridge is an open-concept 1-bed/1-bath tiny home with vaulted ceilings, modern finishes, and a private porch framing panoramic mountain views. Whether you use the two additional units to host family and friends, offset your costs through short-term rentals, or simply keep the compound as your own private mountain kingdom, the flexibility is extraordinary. Hot Springs, the French Broad River, and the Appalachian Trail are minutes away - but honestly, with over a mile of wild river at your feet, you may never want to leave. Three units. One gated mountain community, and world class trout stream to call your own.
