Where do we begin? This remarkable property carries with it generations of history. Once among the largest plantations in Ashe County, it played a defining role in the growth of the region. In fact, the City of West Jefferson itself was built on land originally purchased from the Phillips family. Now, for the first time, this legacy property—still held by the family’s third and fourth generations—is being offered for sale. Rarely does an opportunity of this magnitude arise. This is a one-of-a-kind tract that has the potential to make a lasting impact on the future of both West Jefferson and Ashe County. One important fact is there are no restrictions that runs with the land. Another key note is that Natural Gas, City Water and City Sewer are available. If one so chooses to connect to these available utilities it would require that the land be annexed into the City of West Jefferson. The gentle terrain, scenic landscape, and desirable location of this parcel of land offers endless possibilities for development, a quant and charming village, retail, restaurants, recreation, entertainment, single family and multi-family use or even an estate or ranch. You really need to come and take a personal tour of this remarkable parcel of land to fully understand its potential and the many ways it can benefit our community. OWNER FINANCING IS AVAILABLE WITH THE RIGHT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
