About McDowell County
McDowell County is served by request, for the rare property that justifies the trip: a Lake James waterfront home near Nebo, where Lake James State Park holds the lake's southern shore and the Linville Gorge lies upstream to the north; a residence on private Lake Tahoma, about five miles northwest of Marion, the county seat; or a high-country retreat at Little Switzerland, the century-old resort village that straddles the Mitchell County line beside the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The western end of the county, around the small railroad town of Old Fort, is surrounded by Pisgah National Forest and holds large-acreage mountain tracts within reach of Catawba Falls, on the headwaters of the Catawba River, and a growing network of Forest Service trails. Jennifer takes on McDowell County listings and buyers selectively, when the property itself is exceptional.
