New on the market, this south-facing surveyed 35.8 acre tract is located about an hour northeast of Asheville, and less than a mile from the high mountain village of Little Switzerland and the Blue Ridge Parkway. With frontage on paved State Road 226A, the property is accessed by a private gated road.
This wooded acreage is for someone who wants lofty magnificent views, and a strong sense of privacy on the upper mountain slopes. The property overlooks thousands of acres of unspoiled National Forest. Several springs originate on or above the tract, and flow down through it.  Small headwater streams form two of the boundaries. 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.

We’ve just listed this secluded mountain forest property, ideal for a private retreat.  Located approx. 40 min. NE of Asheville and 25 min. NW of Burnsville on upper Elk Shoals Creek Rd., giving state paved road frontage to the property.

Several high-quality building sites are located on the middle and higher ridges.  A wide variety of wildlife is abundant here in these beautiful hardwood forests of large trees and deep solitudes.

The shell of an old barn is still standing, near the center of the property, on a gentle sloping knoll with a large area suitable for pasture or gardening, near the headwaters of the stream and the springs that feed it. An old trail leads to the top of the property, just below lofty Thunderstruck Knob, giving commanding panoramas across many miles of mountain ridges.

Attractively priced at just $6900/acre, this beautiful forest acreage is a real value in mountain property for those who enjoy privacy, wildlife, stream and views in a very secluded mountain setting. Call 828-253-7055 for more details.

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!

The 85+/- acre Evans Branch farm, located off Jack’s Creek Road northwest of Burnsville, in Yancey County is a very beautiful and private “end of the road” property.  The acreage runs with the ridgetops around the whole boundary, thus containing the headwaters of an entire mini-watershed. A sring-fed stream originates on the land, and flows down through the center of the property, along the access road. This mountain “cove” farm gives complete privacy.

This is a well-kept and managed farm property, with the majority of the acreage in open pasture, fenced and cross-fenced, presently being grazed by a small herd of Black Angus cattle, a brown mule and a donkey.  The old farmhouse is in good condition, and along with the barns and outbuildings, is being sold ”AS-IS”.  The present farm manager (one of the heirs who lives closeby) is quite knowledgeable and available to be retained by the new owner as the caretaker and farm manager.

The property is being sold to settle and close an estate, and is one of the best buys on an excellent Grade A acreage that we have seen in many years. Please note: the entrance to this property has a locked gate, and is shown by appointment only. Please do not venture onto the property unaccompanied. If you are interested in seeing the property, please call the Listing Agent, Robert Towe, at 828-253-7055, to schedule a showing or answer questions you may have about this, or other properties.  We appreciate your interest, and look forward to talking with you.
