Wolf Mountain
Realty, Inc. is located in the area known as Wolf Laurel in Mars Hill, North
Carolina. We are located in Madison County.
Madison County was created in 1851 from Buncombe and Yancey counties.
The county has had a long and colorful political history that dates to
its creation, for the county was named after President James Madison.
The county earned the nickname "bloody Madison" for the fights over
political ideology that became polarized during the Civil War.
Marshall is the county seat of rural Madison County, which is now home
to the Wolf Laurel Ski resort and Mars Hill College. The county also
boasts some of the most beautiful mountain scenery, and the
Appalachian Trail cuts through Madison County. |
Today, the county is becoming more and more of a bedroom community
to Buncombe County, as nearly half of Madison's residents drive to
work in Buncombe. One of the biggest highway construction projects
in Western North Carolina's recent history is underway, as
state-contracted builders finish the construction of 10 new miles of
Interstate 26.

 Wolf
Laurel Resort was founded in 1965. It began as a 5,000 acre
resort/golf & ski development located 27-miles North of Asheville,
NC with elevations ranging from 3700' to 5600'.
The William Lewis designed golf course was finished in 1970. It is a
challenging 18-hole course with some of the most breathtaking and
dramatic mountain vistas in the country. You will find fairways
that drop more than 100' from tee to green and holes that wrap
themselves around the sides of mountains.
Our area is always a haven for snow lovers as Wolf Laurel Ski Slopes
operate within
the resort boundaries. It has 54 acres of skiable terrain. Fourteen
challenging slopes are offered featuring varying degrees of
difficulty to accommodate the novice beginner or the most
experienced expert skier. The longest run is approximately one mile,
and the overall vertical drop is 700 feet!
Other fun activities within resort boundaries
include swimming, tennis, horseback riding,
and fishing.
If you like hiking and biking you'll love
Wolf Laurel Resort as it is host to a section of the Appalachian Trail
that runs across the top of Big Bald Mountain. Several acres
surrounding the AT have been sold to the National Forest to protect
this pristine treasure. Hiking and biking is a favorite pastime here.
