Smithfield Plantation – Prime Hunting Tract in Marion County, SC Welcome to Smithfield Plantation, a beautifully laid-out hunting property located less than 5 miles from downtown Marion. This tract sits just off the Hwy 501 Bypass, providing convenient paved access while delivering a true escape into productive wildlife habitat. The diverse landscape features an ideal mix of habitats that support abundant game. High-elevation former farmland transitions into mature pine stands, while hardwood sloughs and bottomland areas create natural travel corridors and bedding cover. Spring Branch forms the southern boundary, featuring an existing beaver pond that offers excellent duck hunting opportunities along with a reliable water source. Over 35 acres were historically in row crops (now in pines), offering well-drained upland areas throughout the property. An established network of ditches and trails provides excellent internal access for management and hunting. Recent light timber work completed in September created several new wildlife openings: a 5-acre dove field, a site for 2.5-acre duck impoundment, and a 1-acre food plot — ready for immediate use this season. The property is currently being upfitted with a one-acre pond, septic system, water, and RV hookups, adding tremendous convenience and versatility for camping, extended stays, or future development. The property is surrounded by exceptional cover and food sources. Hundreds of acres of active row-crop farmland border the tract to the north and south, while vast mature hardwood forests lie to the west, extending down to Catfish Creek. This combination makes Smithfield Plantation exceptionally rich in wildlife — particularly deer and turkey — with consistent sightings and harvest opportunities. Whether you're seeking a turnkey hunting retreat, a place to build family traditions, or a manageable timber and wildlife investment with added recreational amenities, Smithfield Plantation offers an outstanding balance of accessibility, habitat diversity, and proven productivity. Don't miss this rare opportunity in a highly desirable Marion County location. Contact me today to schedule a private showing and walk the trails yourself. Serious hunters and land enthusiasts will appreciate what this property has to offer.

Some buyers are not looking for a house that already exists. They are looking for the right setting, the right neighborhood, and the right piece of land to create something of their own. Lot 46 in Cross Creek Village offers that opportunity: a peaceful homesite in an established Marion community with usable terrain, natural privacy, and a setting that feels both tucked away and connected. Set on approximately 0.75 acre, this lot gives you a beautiful starting point for a future home in the foothills of Western North Carolina. The property features a level, usable area that appears well-suited for a homesite, along with mature trees and a wooded backdrop that create privacy, shade, and a sense of place. It is not just a vacant lot. It is the beginning of what could become a thoughtfully designed home in a neighborhood that already feels established. This is for the buyer who wants options. Maybe you are planning a full-time residence and want to build something that fits your lifestyle from the ground up. Maybe you are dreaming of a one-level home with quality finishes, outdoor living space, and a peaceful wooded view. Maybe you are planning ahead for retirement and want to secure the location now. Or maybe you are looking for a smart, attainable way to build in a desirable Marion neighborhood without starting in the middle of nowhere. Cross Creek Village offers the feel of an established residential community while keeping you within easy reach of downtown Marion, shopping, restaurants, schools, medical services, Lake James, Morganton, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can have breathing room, trees, and a quieter setting without giving up access to the places and conveniences that matter. Picture a timeless craftsman with a covered front porch, a charming mountain cottage tucked into the trees, or a comfortable one-level design created for easy living. The lot offers a setting that can support a practical build, but it also has the kind of natural character that allows a higher-end buyer to create something intentional, polished, and lasting. Affordable homesites in established communities are becoming harder to find, especially lots that offer both neighborhood appeal and natural beauty. Lot 46 Cross Creek gives you a practical place to begin, but it also gives you something more important: a setting worth building around. Bring your builder and walk the property. Take in the lay of the land, the wooded backdrop, and the quiet neighborhood feel. Buyers interested in a more streamlined path to building may contact the listing agent to discuss potential land/home package options and explore what building on this lot could look like. This is your chance to secure a homesite in a desirable Marion location and begin planning the home you have been waiting to build.

Two loading docks allow efficient loading and unloading of equipment, inventory, and deliveries. Ownership has invested heavily in capital improvements. A premium Berridge Zee Lock standing seam metal roof and new shingle roof were installed in 2025. A brand-new flat roof was added in 2026, along with exterior paint.

Room to build. Room to breathe. And a location that puts Western North Carolina at your doorstep. This 0.77-acre homesite — the larger of two newly created parcels just outside Marion, NC — offers a generous building envelope with the rare advantage of city water and sewer already accessible. No HOA, paved road frontage via US 221, and a shared private drive providing secondary access make this a genuinely ready-to-develop opportunity in a market where buildable lots are increasingly hard to find. The lot's natural topography gives it character. With some slope to the terrain, a thoughtful home design can take full advantage of the elevation — think covered porches, a walk-out basement, or elevated views that a flat lot simply can't offer. Buyers who've built on sloped land in WNC know that grade often creates the most interesting and livable homes when worked with rather than against. It's worth noting that a power line easement runs along the side of the property. This is reflected in the recorded plat and should be factored into your site and home placement planning — your builder or designer can help you work with the lot layout to maximize the usable footprint. City water and sewer access eliminates two of the biggest hurdles on rural land — no perc tests, no well installation, no septic system to engineer. That means a cleaner, faster, more predictable path from vacant lot to finished home. The location is one of this property's strongest suits. Minutes from downtown Marion's restaurants, shops, schools, and healthcare, and just a short drive from Lake James — one of WNC's most beloved recreational destinations. Boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and some of the most scenic mountain and water views in the region are practically in your backyard. Pisgah National Forest, Linville Gorge, and the Blue Ridge Parkway round out an outdoor lifestyle that draws people to this area from across the country. If you're ready to build now or securing land for what's next, this parcel delivers meaningful acreage, public utilities, and a mountain location that's hard to replicate at this price point. Your next chapter starts here.
