Private Mountaintop Estate | 5 Bedrooms | ±11.39 Acres | Solar

Uninterrupted views of Marion from one of the highest homesites in the area.
High above downtown, this two-story estate sits on approximately 11.39 acres of mountaintop land, reached by a paved private drive. The setting is quiet and private by elevation itself. The property borders Mount Ida Wilderness Park — 36 acres of city preserve with a one-mile trail to overlooks of Short Off Mountain and the town below. Downtown Marion is about three-tenths of a mile away. You live above it. You easily go down to it.
Solar panels crown the home — a quieter kind of luxury: lower operating cost, a lighter footprint, and the comfort of generating power on your own roof while the views do the rest.
The main level is built for living well. A fully appointed kitchen with breakfast nook. Formal dining. A great room wrapped in glass, fireplace at the center, views running front to back. The primary suite is its own retreat: fireplace, private bath with jetted tub, and a screened covered deck. The great room opens to a broad entertaining deck above Marion.
Upstairs: four bedrooms and two full baths. One suite is large enough to serve as a second primary, with its own bath, walk-in closet, and a private balcony.
This is a rare combination in McDowell County — acreage, long views, trail access, solar, and Main Street close enough for dinner, the Peavine, and the farmers market. A private mountaintop estate that still belongs to town.
If you want room, elevation, and a home that works as beautifully as it looks, this property deserves a private showing.
