Tbd Lot #5 South Fork Farm Ln West Jefferson, NC 28694

Imagine waking up to the peaceful sounds of the New River, surrounded by beautiful mountain views and the quiet beauty of the North Carolina High Country. This special 2.279-acre river property offers a wonderful combination of water, mountains, usable land, privacy, and convenience-all just minutes from downtown West Jefferson. Leave the paved state-maintained road and turn onto quiet South Fork Farm Lane, where a short drive along the river on a peaceful gravel road leads you to the property. The lane dead-ends at a picturesque farm and serves only a small number of properties, giving this setting a wonderfully private and tucked-away feel. At the lower end of the property, the New River becomes your front yard playground. Large stepping stones have already been placed for easy walk-in access to the water-perfect for fishing, floating, kayaking, or simply finding your favorite spot along the river to relax and enjoy the sounds of the water. One of the most appealing features of this property is the lay of the land. Unlike many mountain and river properties, the acreage is mostly level with only a gentle rise toward the northern end, providing potential building space outside the flood zone. Imagine your future mountain home positioned to enjoy the surrounding scenery, with beautiful mountain ranges visible from both sides of the property and the New River only steps away. A current septic permit is already in place for a 3-bedroom home and may be upgraded to accommodate a 4-bedroom home if approved. Very light restrictions help protect the beauty and character of the neighborhood while still allowing owners the freedom to enjoy their property. Both short-term and long-term rentals are permitted, opening the door to possibilities as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, vacation rental, or investment property. And while this property feels wonderfully removed from the rush of everyday life, you are only approximately 10 minutes from downtown West Jefferson, where you can spend the afternoon exploring specialty shops, local restaurants, art galleries, parks, and everything this charming mountain town has to offer. Boone is approximately a 20-minute drive away, and hiking trails, fishing streams, parks, and countless outdoor adventures are all within easy reach. River access, mountain views, usable acreage, potential building space outside the flood zone, and an incredible High Country location-this is the kind of property people dream about when they dream of owning a place in the North Carolina mountains. Come walk the land, step into the New River, take in the mountain views, and imagine what you could create here.
