Buyer was not able to execute the contract. Septic Eval is good to 2029. 3 Bedroom. Property is fine. There is a kind of knowing that comes from the body before it reaches the mind. John Updike, in Hoeing, writes toward that truth-the slow, honest rhythm of work, the way land answers effort, the way attention itself becomes a form of prayer. The poem isn't really about farming so much as it is about relationship: between hands and soil, time and patience, effort and reward. This land lives in that same conversation. Here, the ground is not asking to be conquered or corrected. It lies open and level, as if already prepared-inviting rather than demanding. The ease of the terrain is not an accident; it's the result of years of care, of being worked and respected by a neighboring farm that understands the quiet intelligence of soil. You can feel it underfoot. This is ground that knows what it means to be useful, and also what it means to rest. The views stretch outward without effort. No climbing, no carving, no strain-just space unfolding naturally, the horizon meeting you where you stand. It's the kind of openness that gives you room to breathe, room to think, room to imagine what life could look like if it weren't rushed or crowded. And then there's the creek. Not ornamental. Not seasonal. Not an afterthought. It moves with its own steady purpose, offering sound and motion and life to the land. Water like this doesn't just decorate a property-it defines it. It draws wildlife, cools summer afternoons, and anchors the land in something timeless. Sit nearby long enough and you'll notice how it recalibrates your sense of time, how conversations slow, how plans feel less urgent and more intentional. This property offers flexibility without chaos-rare ground that allows you to choose how you want to engage with it. Build a conventional home and settle in with permanence, confidence, and clarity. Or keep it recreational: pull in your camper, park with ease, and enjoy the land as it is, when you want it, without pressure or deadlines. The land doesn't rush you. It never has. There's also the very real potential for a hobby farm-one that doesn't require heroic effort just to get started. The level ground, the history of cultivation nearby, the water, the openness-it's all already here. This is land that remembers how to be worked and welcomes it again, if that's what you choose. Like the act of hoeing in Updike's poem, this place isn't about spectacle. It's about rhythm. About showing up. About letting effort be honest and reward be quiet. It's about mornings that begin with mist over the creek and evenings that end with long shadows across open ground. It's about land that doesn't need to prove itself because it already knows what it is. Some properties shout. This one listens. And for the right person-the one who understands that stewardship can be both practical and poetic-it answers back. ## Location - **Address:** Old Fort Sugar Hill Road, Marion, NC 28752 - **County:** McDowell - **Coordinates:** 35.60870607, -82.09475025 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=35.60870607,-82.09475025 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Thomas Cure - **Brokerage:** LandCrazy.com - **Broker Phone:** (828) 400-3475 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/State-Rd-1135_Marion_NC_28752_M58953-38393?f=listhub&s=CMLSNC&m=4338306&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3552116378r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f4067871861r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f950269648r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f509457775r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3536120606r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f150527021r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2262334421r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3414647486r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3792029849r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2520696726r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3262704000r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2696793377r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2141772311r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f995815932r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f1811723574r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f1841884890r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f1856353768r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3126381026r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f198268747r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 20](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2387605649r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 21](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2611820709r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 22](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f224043204r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 23](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3544429014r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 24](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f88359469r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 25](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3133121655r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 26](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f4072623460r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 27](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3891085454r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 28](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f4173875921r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 29](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3202871930r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 30](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3534746291r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 31](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3677950721r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 32](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f1341044116r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 33](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3733116488r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 34](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f3458343611r.jpg) ![Old Fort Sugar Hill Road - Photo 35](http://lh.rdcpix.com/4e566aafbfb2cb6860f29b2c22b1b544l-f2157666502r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 4338306 | **Updated:** 2026-10-20 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Canopy MLS.
