With 3.2 wooded acres, a trickling creek, and an unrestricted deed, this property offers permanence and freedom for a buyer ready to secure it with strength and confidence.

Some land changes. This land endures. With a creek running through it and permanent rights to a reserved riverfront parcel, this 3.2-acre tract in Ashe County is more than just dirtits a legacy. Its a piece of earth your family can hold forever, returning to season after season, generation after generation.

Land isnt a passing purchase. Its permanence. When you buy natural land with water and river access, youre buying a promisea promise that your children and their children will always have a place to explore, to fish, to wade, to paddle, and to walk under the trees. This land in Ashe County delivers that promise. It comes with its own small spring-fed creek inside the boundaries, plus deeded rights to a rare reserved river parcel along the South Fork of the New River. That means you dont just own landyou own permanent access to one of North Carolinas most treasured rivers. And because this property has no HOA and no restrictions, you own it in the truest sense.

Picture it: 3.2 wooded acres resting at 2,872 feet, where fresh mountain air greets you each morning and the sound of water trickles gently through the land. The terrain is sloped and natural, a wooded mountain parcel that feels raw and steady. Located near the quiet town of Laurel Springs, the property balances privacy with convenience. Charlotte is just a couple of hours away, close enough for family visits but far enough that this still feels like your own private retreat.

This isnt a place to try out land ownership. Its a place to hold with pride. No restrictions mean you decide its futurewhether you keep it as a family retreat, build one day, or simply hold it as a legacy investment to pass down. But what truly sets this property apart is the river connection. Most landowners in Ashe County can only dream of owning rights to the South Fork of the New River. Here, you own 3.2 acres plus permanent deeded access to a reserved riverfront parcel, giving you a private connection to fishing, kayaking, or simply sitting at the waters edge. This is not direct frontageits better. Its secured, reserved river access that cant be replicated or taken away.

The access to the land itself is dependable. You can enter from Island Ford Road, a state-maintained road that offers stability and reliability year-round. Or you can take the right-of-way dirt road that runs alongside, giving you a private alternative route. Power and internet are located nearby if you ever choose to connect, and a well and septic system would be needed for long-term use. With an unrestricted deed, the choice is entirely yours. This isnt a property with conditionsits a property with freedom.

What makes this land rare cannot be replaced. Inside your property is a trickling spring-fed creek, a small but timeless source of water. Beyond your boundary lies the crown jewelthe reserved river parcel on the South Fork. That means permanent, deeded rights to a parcel along one of the oldest rivers in the world, a river that runs north through the Blue Ridge. Imagine summers where your family launches kayaks, afternoons spent fishing in quiet pools, or simply knowing that you have a private stretch of river access that belongs to you. Very few properties in Ashe County come with this benefit. Its not just scenicits irreplaceable.

Beyond the land itself, the location ties everything together. Laurel Springs, your nearest town, offers quiet charm and everyday convenience. The Blue Ridge Parkway, famous for its endless mountain views, is just a short drive away. The towns of Jefferson and West Jefferson bring dining, art, and Appalachian culture when you want community. State parks and trails surround you, giving you opportunities to hike, camp, and experience the mountains. But the greatest treasure of all is knowing that no matter how much the world changes, your family will always have this place to return tothe creek inside, the woods around you, and the river just down the road.
