BACK ON MARKET 6/10/26. NEW SURVEY, MORE ACREAGE. Very nice 20.1 acres of sloping wooded mountain land in secluded rustic location in NW Ashe County. Two running branches, at least one steady spring, and a fast flowing creek provide pleasant ambience to this unique property. This is an old family homestead that has never been occupied by the owners over a period of more than 60 years, although several other family members do (or did) live on adjacent land. Multiple pleasant homesites featuring open woods, mature trees, and elevations above 3,000 feet. Wildlife abounds on this pristine property, including signs of large deer and bear. Convenient to Pond Mountain Game Lands for more hunting, hiking and recreation. This UNRESTRICTED property could be kept as a secluded personal estate or split into multiple desirable homesites. Also suitable for tiny homes or even a remote campground. Long frontage (almost 1,000 linear feet) on state maintained gravel road provides multiple access routes into the property. Old rustic barn could be restored, and several open areas with sunny southern exposure could be used for grazing livestock or planting crops and/or a large garden. Several great spots for a cabin overlooking the rushing creek. APPROXIMATE corners that directly touch on John Alley Road are marked with real estate pointer signs and bright pink ribbons. These are based on the tax maps as well as Seller's understanding of the property boundaries. Upper boundary line for the smaller portion on the South side of the road follows the course of a small branch from where it crosses the road. This line has recently been surveyed by the adjacent landowner and is prominently flagged. NEW SURVEY MAY 2026 shows 20+ acres and all boundaries are marked with Blue/Yellow survey tape. Seller has had property cleaned up and all trash removed from old barn, so it's in perfect shape to show and to use. NEW PERK HOLES are dug in field above old barn to show soil consistency for septic permit. Electric power line runs through property on South side of the road, and Skyline fiber optic cable connection post is nearby. Buyers and Agents should park along the road and walk into the various sections of the property. Use Tax Maps for the overall layout of the land. Listing Agent is available to assist with showings as needed, with advance notice. Don't delay, see today!
