You've been looking for the kind of land that gives you peace and privacy-but still feels like a smart long-term move. Something you can enjoy right now and build on when the time's right. This 1.25-Acre property in Ashe County, North Carolina offers exactly that. It's made up of two side-by-side parcels, sold together, with a live creek, gravel road access, and power at the road-all in a quiet mountain setting, just minutes from the New River.
You'll find it tucked just off Blue Jay Drive, less than 15 minutes from West Jefferson and only 35 minutes from Boone. It's a place where you can relax, explore, and enjoy the cool shade of the trees. There's room to move, no HOA telling you what to do, and no timeline forcing you to build before you're ready.
But what really sets this land apart-what makes it worth owning-is its layout and location. These two lots are thoughtfully arranged with direct road access to both. The space between them gives you options: you can keep them together, use one and hold the other, or develop them as one retreat. It's easy to imagine pulling in, setting up a basecamp, and walking down to your own creek.
And here's the part that's even harder to find: you're just a stone's throw from the New River, one of the oldest and most beautiful rivers in the country. Even better, a public New River access point is only minutes away, giving you a direct spot to fish, paddle, or simply watch the water flow. For anyone who wants to be near the river without the floodplain or price tag that usually comes with it-this is the one to watch.

The Land You Can Actually Use
The land here feels open but private, peaceful but connected. There's a live creek running through it that brings the kind of quiet sound and natural life you just can't replicate. The road runs right along both parcels, giving you easy access and full control over how and when you use the land.
This is not the kind of property that needs a lot of grading or planning just to get started. You can walk it, explore it, and picture exactly where you'd set up a fire ring or park a camper. It's also an ideal canvas if you're thinking about a small mountain cabin in the future.
And because there's no Hoa, you won't have to ask permission or follow someone else's rules. That means no dues, no building deadlines, and no restrictions holding you back from using the land your way.
Nature, Water, and Access - All in One Place
For a lot of buyers, the sweet spot is finding land that has natural features, is close to water, and still has the right kind of road access and utilities. This property has all of that.
You're just minutes from a New River access point, so you can fish, float, or kayak without driving half an hour to put in. And the river itself winds just around the corner from your property, offering that rare mix of proximity without risk-close enough to enjoy but far enough to stay out of flood zones.
The creek on the land gives you year-round movement, sound, and value. It brings wildlife to your doorstep and gives you a natural gathering place. Whether you just want to relax by the water or make it part of your future homesite, it's there and it's yours.
And the power line at the road gives you an affordable, ready-to-use utility setup when the time comes to connect. Water and sewer will be by private well and septic-standard in this area.
Location Benefits
Being just 35 minutes from Boone gives you a built-in backup plan. Whether you're commuting once a week, grabbing supplies, or just spending the day in town, everything you need is close. Grocery stores, outfitters, breweries, and doctors are right there when you want them.
And when you want small-town charm, West Jefferson is only 15 minutes away. It's known for its walkable downtown, art galleries, Saturday markets, and family-owned restaurants. You can spend your morning exploring shops or trails and still be back on your land before sunset.
The land sits in a quiet, low-traffic area with no through roads or major developments nearby. It's quiet. It's clean. And it stays that way.
What You Can Do Here
You don't need to have your full plan figured out to start using this land. You can start simple and grow into it over time.
Here's what this land is perfect for:
Weekend camping
Creekside relaxation
Tiny home or cabin later on
RV basecamp with solar + water catchment
Investment hold - use one parcel, sell or keep the other
Outdoor retreat space
Long-term legacy for your family
It's rare to find this kind of flexibility. Because you have two legal parcels, you can get creative. Develop one, keep the other. Or use them both together to create your perfect mountain layout.
Why This Land Makes Sense
This is land you can use now and build on later. It already has the things most buyers are hunting for: water, access, power, and freedom. It's in a location that's not just scenic-but practical. You're not miles away from help, but you're far enough to feel like you've escaped.
You're not just getting raw land with potential. You're getting a property with usable features from the start. That includes the creek, the road access, the power at the road, and the proximity to the New River and Boone-all of which make it desirable now and more valuable later.
And because it's being sold directly, you avoid realtor fees and complicated approvals. The financing is straightforward, and you can start the process with a simple deposit and your first payment.
