Single Family Residence In Fleetwood

Nearly 40 acres of fenced pasture directly across from the New River, in the Fleetwood area of Ashe County between Boone and West Jefferson. Properties like this rarely come up in the High Country. The land is open and usable, with rolling pasture, wooded edges, and almost 2 miles of board fencing already in place. From the property you look out over the New River to long-range mountain views, and pastoral farmland in every direction. Boone is about 20 minutes away and West Jefferson about 15, so you get real farm living without being far from town.

The centerpiece is a custom 8-stall horse barn built with care and character: board-and-batten siding, a green metal roof with cupola and dormers, stone-faced columns, and a full-length covered deck across the front of the upper level. Upstairs is almost 3,000 square feet of unfinished space ready to become a main residence, guest quarters, or an apartment over the barn. The hard infrastructure is already done. A 4-bedroom septic system and a private well are in place, which saves a buyer significant time and cost on the path to finishing the living area. A paved drive leads up to the barn, and small hay storage outbuildings sit in the pasture. The pastures also have water running to them as well.

This is a rare fit for horse owners, a small cattle or hobby farm, or anyone who has been waiting for a sizable, well-fenced tract near the river with the groundwork already laid. Railroad Grade Road is one of the most scenic drives in the county, running along the New River, and paddling, fishing, and tubing are right across the road. Finish out the upstairs and live with your horses, or build a separate home on the acreage and keep the barn for the animals.
