This wooded acreage is for someone who wants lofty magnificent views, and a strong sense of privacy on the upper mountain slopes.

Several high-quality homesites are positioned along  a ridgeline in the center of the property. The panoramic views are truly magnificent.

If this sounds like your kind of place, please give me a call at 828-253-7055, to discuss it further. A survey plat is available, and some restrictions apply. NOTE: Temporarily off the market. Call for details, 828-253-7055.

This property is perfect for someone who wants to get off the beaten path, but not too far. Accessed by a state-maintained paved road, this private wooded retreat fronts on a pretty mountain stream—the headwaters of Paint Fork Creek in eastern Madison County.  The state road terminates less than a mile beyond the property, so there’s very little traffic. The acreage is positioned on the upper end of a deep valley, and is surrounded with high mountains, with plenty of wildlife and solitude.

The boundaries of this beautiful acreage describe a true mountain cove—you are protected on three sides by high ridgelines, with the fourth (front) side of the property being the road and stream.  A substantial concrete bridge has been built across the stream to access the interior.  Walking trails lead from the stream into the uplands, where a few very private building sites have been marked off deep in the hardwood forest, near clean mountain springs. This is the perfect setting to enjoy your privacy for a season, or year-round, far from the noisy crowds. 

As with all of our properties, the Paint Fork parcel is shown by appointment only, to qualified prospective buyers. If this sounds like your kind of property and you would like to know more, please call the Listing Agent, Robert Towe, at 828-253-7055, or email me a mountainacreage@frontier.com.

One of the most beautiful areas in western North Carolina, Yancey County has its own distinctive and friendly mountain flavor.  This is the home of the highest mountain in the eastern U.S.–Mt. Mitchell, at 6684′. The Black Mountain range is the birthplace of two large and beautiful trout rivers–the South Toe and the Cane, which flow together with the North Toe to form the wild Nolichucky River, with exciting rapids for canoeing, rafting and kayaking.

But Yancey county is also home to an interesting and eclectic mix of mountain folk, both native and newcomers. A wide variety of artists and craftsmen live here. Asheville is about a 35 minute drive to the southwest. Interstate 26 is just 16 miles away, and getting closer, as Hwy 19 is presently being four-laned. The gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway traverses the high ridges along the southern borders of the county.

The land of Yancey county is a highly scenic mix of smaller farms, river valleys, and high forested slopes, a good percentage in National Forest ownership.  Burnsville is the county seat, an attractive, growing, yet low-key mountain town.

One of the best places to start getting acquainted with Yancey County is through the website of the local Chamber of Commerce.  Visit their site listed above, and you will find a great deal of information about this intriguing place. Yancey is a wonderful area to visit, to vacation, or to invest in. A great location where you can grow, or retire. Check it out!

Lickskillet is a very private, yet open and high property with astounding views. This beautiful and secluded tract is 27.72 acres, by survey. (See plat above). The acreage represents Lots 15 &16 of  ‘Harmony Acres‘, a small restricted community of larger, very private lots on the headwaters of Lickskillet Creek. It is located about 35 minutes NE of Asheville, 15 minutes East of I-26, and  20 minutes NW of Burnsville, the county seat of Yancey County.

Lickskillet Creek is a rushing mountain stream which flows along the entrance to property. Much of the acreage is comprised of old fields and sloping pastureland, with magnificent multi-layered views across and down the valley, and out to the distant mountain ranges beyond. The meadow near the entrance makes an excellent pond-site, fed by springs that flow out of the hillside behind it.  The higher slopes offer several outstanding home-sites with wide and unspoiled vistas. Due to its secluded location and good access, the property works well either for vacation or year-round living. With local Hwy 19 being 4-laned nearby, this acreage is also an excellent investment for future resale, considering the expanding growth of Asheville, Burnsville, and the surrounding communities.

PLEASE NOTE:  This property is posted, and shown by appointment only, and has a locked gate. It is  protected by restrictive covenants of  ‘Harmony Acres’.  Please call the Listing Agent, Robert Towe, for more details, at Mountain Acreage of Western North Carolina, Inc.  828-253-7055, or email me at mountainacreage@frontier.com.  We appreciate your interest, and look forward to hearing from you.

137+/- acre Cane River Property :  NOTICE: Temporarily off the market.  Please call for details:  828-253-7055

Truly one of the most beautiful properties in Yancey county, this exceptional tract features 35 acres or so in rolling bottomland, with long frontage on the Cane River and Hwy 19W. The balance of 100+ acres is forested with upland hardwoods interspersed with stands of white pine. The interior uplands are accessed by 4WD roads and trails.  Topography is varied, with much of the acreage gentle to moderately sloping, offering numerous very private homesites with extraordinary views of the river valley and surrounding mountains.

Wildlife is abundant, with white-tail deer, turkey, grouse, black bear and many smaller species. The location, access and rural community setting are superb. Improvements include several barns in good condition, and an old homestead farmhouse (not-liveable).  Much of the lower acreage is under fence, and is ideal for pasturage, hay or crop land. The tillable acreage is leased out to a local farmer on a seasonal basis. The entrance road has a locked gate, and trespassing is prohibited.

This high-value acreage has been in the same family for many years, and has been well-managed and cared for. This is an excellent investment property, perfect for family or corporate retreat, or dividing into smaller choice parcels, featuring privacy and magnificent views. PLEASE NOTE: This property is shown by appointment only. Please call the Listing Agent, Robert Towe, owner of Mountain Acreage of Western North Carolina, Inc. at 828-253-7055.  If you have questions relating to this or other properties, please call, or comment below.
