Description
Steeped in more than two centuries of mountain heritage, this historic 111-acre Ashe County farm is a living story of North Carolina’s High Country. Once part of the early agricultural backbone of the region, the farm has been lovingly preserved under a conservation easement that ensures its pastoral landscape and legacy will remain unspoiled for generations to come. Rolling meadows, mature woodlands, and Silas Branch Creek weave together across the property, forming a setting of remarkable peace and permanence. The renovated 1,542-square-foot farmhouse offers two bedrooms, two baths, and a partially finished walk-out basement with a second kitchen and bath. Exposed beams, wood floors, and a brick fireplace echo the warmth of an earlier era. At the same time, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a sun-filled sitting room provides every modern convenience. Outside, multiple porches and decks overlook the surrounding fields and distant ridges, inviting quiet mornings and long evenings in the open air. A true rarity, the property also includes Ashe County’s oldest standing barn — an 1821 saddle-notched structure listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Its hand-hewn timbers and weathered patina are a timeless reminder of the region’s agrarian roots, offering more than 2,600 square feet of covered farm use. Additional barns and outbuildings stand ready for equipment or livestock. The land itself offers exceptional variety: approximately 47 acres are currently leased for Christmas trees and landscape crops, while 37 wooded acres support a managed forestry plan. Long-established farm roads and fencing define access and boundaries throughout the property. A second well supplies water for livestock and future development, with easement allowances permitting two additional homesites. The ridge homesite, surrounded by century-old trees, offers sweeping 360-degree views of the mountains — a setting worthy of a new chapter in this farm’s story. Conveniently located less than fifteen minutes from West Jefferson, this farm’s proximity to the New River and Blue Ridge Parkway underscores its rare combination of accessibility and authenticity. For those who value heritage, stewardship, and the quiet continuity of rural life, this property offers an opportunity not just to own land, but to become its next guardian. Large, intact historic farms of this scale rarely reach the market. For the buyer who values authenticity, natural beauty, and the privilege of preservation, this farm offers the rarest gift — the chance to own not only a remarkable piece of land, but a lasting legacy.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI absolutly love mt. view teachers and staff....all my children attended there. I am having an issue with how just anyone is allowed to work in afterschool program with our children without background checks in mental stability. I know for a fact sarah oliver has been in mental hospital several times and social services had a protection order on her against her own chid for unsupervised visits. yet she is now working there. I and friends have heard her talking bad of many of the kids and then ridaculing parents behind their backs to others for the childrens behavior. I would think this would not be tolerated in a community.children are just that children and who is she to judge others. I think it is horrible that she refers to some kids as that fat one or poor ugly thing. while encouragng her own child to badmouth and be judgmental on other kids just as harshly. for this error in employee judgment i give the afterschool program in Ashe County NC an F. who knows who else has slipped thru the cracks to help our children after hours.Parent Review15y ago - Ashe County High
