Description
Tucked into the folds of the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside Barnardsville, this 27.33 +/- acre tract offers a rare blend of accessibility and untouched wild character with no restrictions or HOA. The property enjoys frontage along paved, state maintained Paint Fork Road, with an easy entrance and gently sloping topography near the road that offers welcoming building potential before the land rises into the mountainous terrain beyond. Site evaluation suggests the favorable building areas near the road could support two separate 3-4 bedroom septic systems.
The current owner has been a thoughtful steward of this land, and a forest stewardship plan along with a full ecological evaluation are available for a future owner to continue that legacy of care.
An existing utility right of way winds through the property's interior, and each summer it transforms into a sunny wildflower meadow, alive with pollinators and open sky in an otherwise forested landscape. Beyond the meadow, the land climbs into rich cove forest, chestnut oak woodlands, and dramatic exposed bedrock outcrops as tall as 30 feet. Paint Fork itself, a small but ecologically valuable stream, traces the western boundary, joined by spring fed seeps that stay green and lush through the seasons.
Wildlife is abundant and diverse, with black bear, wild turkey, bobcat, and dozens of bird species documented onsite, alongside rare finds like American ginseng, goldenseal, and a lampshade weaver spider found nowhere else but a three county pocket of western North Carolina. Just minutes from the Barnardsville community, close to Asheville, and within easy reach of Pisgah National Forest and multiple conservation areas, this well tended property offers both the privacy of deep woods and the practicality of easy access.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWith Covid and the crazy schedule changes I was not sure if this would be a good year for my 7th grader. I have to say every teacher and staff member worked hard to make this year as easy as possible. Dr. Johnson is a top notch Principal. She is compassionate and pro active. I feel my son had a great year despite the full virtual, 2 day in person, full virtual, full in person, quarantine for 14 days, back full in person. The teachers are great! They hold students accountable but always willing to work with them to help any way they can. They are flexible and ready to give extra tutoring if needed. Hoping next year is a more normal experience and even better school year.Parent Review5y ago - North Windy Ridge
