When you step onto this 2.66-Acre parcel in Ashe County, North Carolina, you'll quickly understand: this is not just dirt, it's permanence. Tucked into the trees on a sloped hillside, this land feels private, natural, and steady. The elevation offers wooded seclusion while still keeping you connected to the surrounding community.
This isn't a parcel about quick use or short-term plans. It's about family. It's about ownership that lasts. It's about being able to stand on your own land and say with pride, “This is ours.” With an unrestricted deed, no outside group can tell you what to do. No Hoa. No covenants. Just freedom - the kind that can be passed down to children and grandchildren.
Reserved River Access - A Rare Benefit
What makes this property especially valuable is its reserved river access. If you look at the recorded plat for the sanctuary, you'll see a small sliver of land marked “reserved.” That parcel was set aside specifically for all property owners within the sanctuary to use.
This means even though you don't own direct riverfront, you still have guaranteed access to the river. It's not private property you'd have to cross, and it's not dependent on neighbors' goodwill. It's yours by right. That access opens the river for fishing, kayaking, or simply sitting on the bank and enjoying the current. Without it, you'd be cut off - because all the surrounding riverfront lots are privately owned. That reserved parcel is critical, and it's what makes this land so special.
A Landscape for Privacy
The terrain here is a wooded slope, rising from the base toward a more level area as you move upward. It's not flat land, but that's part of its character. The slope offers elevation, privacy, and views through the trees, giving your family a retreat that feels truly set apart. With the right touch, it's a hillside property that can be enjoyed for generations.
Water Close By
While there isn't a stream directly on the property, one flows nearby, adding to the sense of connection with water. Combined with your reserved river access, you have the best of both worlds - wooded seclusion on your lot, and the ability to step down to the river whenever you choose.
Wildlife & Seasons
Deer pass quietly through the forest. Birds fill the trees with sound. Squirrels and rabbits make their homes in the brush. The land is alive, and each season brings its own change: cool mountain summers, autumns of color, crisp winters, and springs filled with new life. This is the kind of natural cycle your family can return to year after year.
Simple, Honest Access
The property is reached by a dirt road that ties into the nearby routes. It's straightforward and reliable. Power is available at Island Ford Road if you ever want it, but this land doesn't depend on modern amenities to be valuable. What matters is that it's reachable, walkable, and ready to be yours.
Affordable to Keep
Taxes here are just $60 per year, making this land practical to hold long-term. That's another reason it works as a legacy property - it's not a financial burden, and it's easy to keep in the family for decades to come.
