Description

Roughly 15 acres of unrestricted mountain land in rural Yancey County is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking privacy, recreation, and the beauty of a mature Southern Appalachian forest. With direct state-maintained frontage along Riddle Branch Road and power already on the property, it's easy to get to. Riddle Branch itself follows the road, adding the calming sound of running water as you enter the property. The land rises from about 3,100 feet at the road to roughly 3,590 feet atop Holloway Ridge....Roughly 15 acres of unrestricted mountain land in rural Yancey County is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking privacy, recreation, and the beauty of a mature Southern Appalachian forest. With direct state-maintained frontage along Riddle Branch Road and power already on the property, it's easy to get to. Riddle Branch itself follows the road, adding the calming sound of running water as you enter the property. The land rises from about 3,100 feet at the road to roughly 3,590 feet atop Holloway Ridge. Terrain is mostly steep and fully wooded, making it best suited for hiking, camping, hunting, and long-term timber potential though there are a couple spots along the creek and in the power line easement that have less slope. The upland hardwood forest is well established, and the upper areas feature a diverse mix of mast-producing species including white oak, red oak, chestnut oak, and hickory. In the upper cove and along the east slope, poplars experienced wind damage from Hurricane Helene, creating natural openings, wildlife habitat, and early-successional regeneration. This tract is rich with deer trails, scrapes, and rubs, reflecting the strong local wildlife presence. Several large rock outcroppings provide natural interest, views through the trees, and quiet places to explore. A small old tobacco barn with small stalls beneath it stands near the road, offering a nostalgic reminder of traditional mountain agriculture and potential storage area if repaired. For those seeking a rugged, raw, and authentically Appalachian landscape, perfect for recreation, conservation, or a quiet escape, this property offers true mountain character.
