In my 22-years of selling mountain land, I can only remember a couple of times where I was fortunate enough to market property adjoining United States Government land! This 261.70-acres +/- is hidden deep within the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with elevations soaring to 2,440' above sea level! The property extends into two counties, Wilkes and Ashe, and also adjoins 62-acres owned by the Blue Ridge Conservancy! Within shouting distance of the Blue Ridge Parkway, this property has all of the features that mountain folks want......long-range views, privacy, streams, springs, mature hardwood timber, logging trails, hollows, ridgetops, and an abundance of deer, turkey, and occasional black bear! Property adjoins Old NC Highway 16. Access is via private road named Bear Den Lane. Check and verify Deed 627 Page 045 of Wilkes County Register of Deeds for right-of-way description.
