This Yancey County tract feels like a piece of old North Carolina. It is quiet, beautiful, and deeply rooted in the surrounding Black Mountains. From just about anywhere on this property, you'll catch long-range views of Mount Mitchell and short-range views of the river valley spread out below. Its woods are a near-even mix of hardwood and pine, most of it mature timber that hasn't been cut in decades. Two year-round creeks can be found on the property along with several smaller springs and seasonal streams. Two spots have already been rough graded, both areas would make natural sites for a cabin, a barn, or equipment storage. One was formerly set up as a shooting range, and would still work well for that purpose if you are inclined to do so. Deer, bear, and turkey are all spotted regularly on trail cameras, and it's easy to see signs of game when walking the land. The most unique feature that this tract offers is its incredible access. It has paved frontage on both Dover Branch Road and Highway 80, and connecting those two points is a thoughtfully laid out, well-graded, gravel road that runs all the way through the property, gated on both ends. That alone sets this place apart. This property has been cared for, and it shows. 148 contiguous acres (+/-) bordering the Blue Ridge Parkway doesn't come to market very often, especially not in the South Toe Valley.
