Property 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.
