292.2 Acres - Wilkes/Ashe Counties

292.2± acres of pristine mountain land adjoining the Blue Ridge Parkway, one of the most scenic and protected corridors in the eastern United States. This remarkable tract features a diverse landscape of mature hardwood forests, bold mountain streams, ridgelines, and secluded hollows, with potential long-range views. Rich in biodiversity, the property provides exceptional habitat for wildlife, making it potentially suitable for conservation, recreation, or a private mountain retreat. A 261.7±acre portion (Wilkes PID #2002823) was surveyed and revised in 2003, this tract spans approximately 260± acres in Wilkes County, with the remaining acreage located in Ashe County. The 30.5±acre portion (Wilkes PID #2000813) has not been surveyed in a very long time, and it appears to not have a legal access from the public road, although this would need to be verified through a title search. This property lies within the protected Reddies River Watershed (WS-IIP), further enhancing its environmental significance. The land directly adjoins both the Blue Ridge Parkway (National Park Service) and Blue Ridge Conservancy lands, highlighting its potential conservation value and long-term ecological importance. Access is via Bear Den Lane (a private road), with additional frontage along Old NC Highway 16. Existing ATV trails provide internal access to various sections of the property. With its unspoiled character, abundant wildlife, and proximity to conserved lands, this tract is well-suited for nature enthusiasts, hunters, or buyers interested in land conservation opportunities. Showings are by appointment only, and a listing agent must be present.
