Location - Laurel Springs, North Carolina
Laurel Springs is located in Ashe County in the northwestern part of North Carolina. The area is known for mountain scenery, rolling terrain, and year-round outdoor recreation.
The New River is one of the most recognized natural features in this region. With reserved river access, you have the ability to enjoy fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and time along the water without needing to own riverfront property.
Mount Jefferson State Natural Area and New River State Park are nearby. Jefferson and West Jefferson provide groceries, dining, and small-town services while keeping the rural character buyers value.
Many buyers choose Ashe County for its mountain setting and direct access to outdoor recreation.
Reserved River Access
This property includes reserved access to the New River.
River access is a major feature in this area. It allows you to enjoy the water without paying riverfront pricing.
You can spend time fishing, paddling, or relaxing along the river, then return to your private wooded parcel.
Reserved access adds both lifestyle value and long-term appeal.
As part of your due diligence, you should confirm the specific access location and any applicable use guidelines.
Road Access
Clear access matters when buying rural land.
This property is accessed from Island Ford Rd, a state-maintained paved road. From there, you turn onto Dancy Lane, a dirt and gravel road that leads into the countryside. A short internal dirt road leads to the parcel.
Legal access has been confirmed.
Defined access is an important advantage for Ashe County land.
Buyers should verify road conditions and maintenance details during their inspection period.
