TBD Lewis Drive, Marshall, NC 28753

First time on the market in more than 125 years. Held by the same family for generations, this extraordinary 124± acre legacy property presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the largest privately held tracts along the French Broad River in Western North Carolina.

With nearly a mile (5,000+ feet) of French Broad River frontage and approximately five acres of level river-bottom land, the property offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty, privacy, and versatility. Towering hardwoods, open bottomland, mountain views, abundant wildlife, and one of North America’s oldest rivers create a setting that is both timeless and inspiring.

Properties of this scale and character are exceedingly rare. Whether envisioned as a private riverfront estate, sporting retreat, equestrian property, boutique lodge, wellness sanctuary, family compound, conservation holding, or long-term investment, the possibilities are limited only by imagination. The extensive river frontage invites fishing, kayaking, tubing, and riverside recreation, while the surrounding acreage provides ample room for trails, horseback riding, hunting, and outdoor adventure.

Located within easy reach of Asheville, the property combines remarkable seclusion with convenient access to restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and regional attractions, making it equally appealing as a private retreat or hospitality destination.

Steeped in history, this land tells a story that stretches back centuries. Long before European settlement, Cherokee people traveled and camped along the banks of the French Broad River. For more than a century afterward, the same family carefully stewarded this land, farming its fertile river-bottom fields and preserving its natural beauty for future generations.

Today, that legacy is offered to the market for the very first time.
This is far more than acreage—it is an irreplaceable riverfront legacy, a rare investment in one of Western North Carolina’s most coveted natural corridors, and an opportunity that may not present itself again for generations.
