Mill Creek Road

Ashe County, NC

Acreage for Sale –
TBD Railroad Grade Road, Fleetwood, NC 28626

A rare opportunity to own 6.97 unrestricted acres in the mountains of Western North Carolina, stretching all the way to the New River. This beautiful tract is surrounded by Appalachian forest with a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees, offering privacy, serenity, and endless potential for your mountain retreat or future home.

Rhododendrons bloom from May through July, complemented by wildflowers throughout spring, summer, and fall. The property begins with an easy turn off Mill Creek Road, gently sloping down to the river’s edge where you’ll enjoy private river access for fishing, swimming, wading, canoeing, and kayaking. Several desirable “mountain flat” homesites are available, and with selective clearing, you can capture views of a bend in the New River.

A natural spring creates a small waterfall over a boulder near the lower portion of the property, and this area may be suitable for a small pond if desired. The current owners have recently graveled the driveway, added a turnaround area, and created a picnic spot complete with a table and grill. Underbrush has been cleared in this area, making it ideal for camping and outdoor enjoyment.

Located just minutes from historic Todd, approximately 20 minutes to Boone or West Jefferson, and only 3 minutes from Todd Island Park, this property offers peaceful seclusion while remaining close to dining, shopping, outdoor recreation, cultural events, and festivals throughout the High Country. Whether as a quiet getaway or a basecamp for adventure, this land offers exceptional versatility.
