About this home
Looking for a peaceful retreat or the perfect spot to gather generations? This 5.287-acre gem is bordered by the North Fork of the New River and Little Phoenix Creek—offering N. Fork New River frontage. Paddle a kayak from your backyard, plant a garden, or just relax and listen to the water roll by. The New River is one of the oldest rivers in the world—some say second only to the Nile. It flows north through the Blue Ridge Mountains, carving a path through time and tradition. With its gentle waters and natural beauty, it’s long been a favorite for fishing, canoeing, and quiet reflection. The land offers plenty of open, sunny space for a truly abundant garden—whether you're dreaming of fresh veggies, berry patches, or a cutting garden bursting with blooms. The property is not in the New River Flood Zone. Just 15 minutes from West Jefferson, a vibrant mountain town known for its galleries, music, eateries, and community spirit. Browse antique shops, visit the cheese factory, stroll the farmers market, and return home to your quiet slice of paradise. The main home includes a two-car attached garage, first-floor laundry, and a detached workshop. There's room for horses, hobbies, or just breathing room. The layout is great for additional cabins—suited for your family retreat. The sellers would consider owner financing to a highly qualified buyer. Great neighbors, gorgeous views, and the potential for the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
