HORSES ARE ALLOWED! Riverfront mountain living in desirable Ashe County — a 1.39-acre homesite perched atop a beautiful ridge with long-range views overlooking the North Fork New River. The river is the star here. This lot runs all the way down to the water — the frontage is yours, not shared or common area. Put your own kayak in from your own land, drop a line, wade in on a hot afternoon, or just sit and listen to the water. The New River system is long regarded as one of the oldest in North America, and one of the prettiest stretches of the North Fork runs right along this property. Cool mountain air, the sound of moving water, and mature natural surroundings make this one of the more peaceful settings in the High Country. Ready to build. The lot has been cleared, and a 3-bedroom septic permit is already in hand — valid 9-13-24 through 9-13-29. That's a real head start: no waiting on soil evaluation, no guessing what the site will support. Modular homes are allowed, giving buyers flexibility on build method, timeline, and budget. Established, growing subdivision. River Rock is a well-kept community with several homes built over the last few years and construction underway in 2026. This is not a quiet paper subdivision — it's growing, and neighbors are investing here. Located in the quaint town of Lansing (Lot 19, River Rock Subdivision), the property offers elevation, seclusion, and river frontage of your own, all just 8 miles from West Jefferson — known for its walkable downtown, restaurants, galleries, breweries, and year-round mountain charm. The lower portion of the lot naturally falls in the flood zone due to its river frontage, but the designated building site is not impacted; see plat for details. Buyer is responsible for verifying all applicable state and local waterway, riparian buffer, watershed, and floodplain regulations governing use and development of the river frontage. GPS may not recognize the road. If needed, enter McNeil Rd, Lansing. River Rock Subdivision and River Landing are directly off McNeil Rd, accessible via NC-194 to McNeil Rd, then left onto River Landing. HOA: $400 annual fee covering subdivision road maintenance, common area maintenance, and mowing of undeveloped land twice per year. ALL ADVERTISED LOT LINES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A SURVEY. Pictured lot lines are not official survey lines and only depict the approximate shape of the lot.
