Charming country property with a beautiful setting on 2.246 acres in a convenient Southern Ashe County location. The land lays well and is mostly open pasture, offering great potential for gardening, a small homestead, or a few farm animals. A small stream and multiple outbuildings (one with electricity and a woodstove) add to the property’s appeal and usability. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features a spacious open kitchen and dining area, along with a cozy living room. A separate unheated room off the back porch offers great potential to be finished as a laundry room or additional functional space. Recent improvements include three mini-split systems installed in 2023, providing efficient heating and cooling. The home also has a metal roof and additional heat sources, including propane in the living room and a woodstove in the kitchen. Please note: portions of the home are older with some uneven flooring, and the property is being sold as-is. This is a great opportunity for a buyer looking for a project, investment, or mountain getaway with potential in a highly desirable area. Conveniently located just 11.8 miles to West Jefferson, 19.3 miles to Boone, and 22.9 miles to Wilkesboro. An additional 18.243-acre tract owned by the same seller is also available nearby on Canoe Gap Road (not contiguous).
