One of a kind Equestrian Estate!!! Nearly 40 acres of fenced pasture directly across from the New River, in the Fleetwood area of Ashe County between Boone and West Jefferson. Properties like this rarely come up in the High Country. The land is open and usable, with rolling pasture, wooded edges, and almost 2 miles of board fencing already in place. From the property you look out over the New River to long-range mountain views, and pastoral farmland in every direction. Boone is about 20 minutes away and West Jefferson about 15, so you get real farm living without being far from town. The centerpiece is a custom 8-stall horse barn built with care and character: board-and-batten siding, a green metal roof with cupola and dormers, stone-faced columns, and a full-length covered deck across the front of the upper level. Upstairs is almost 3,000 square feet of unfinished space ready to become a main residence, guest quarters, or an apartment over the barn. The hard infrastructure is already done. A 4-bedroom septic system and a private well are in place, which saves a buyer significant time and cost on the path to finishing the living area. A paved drive leads up to the barn, and small hay storage outbuildings sit in the pasture. The pastures also have water running to them as well. This is a rare fit for horse owners, a small cattle or hobby farm, or anyone who has been waiting for a sizable, well-fenced tract near the river with the groundwork already laid. Railroad Grade Road is one of the most scenic drives in the county, running along the New River, and paddling, fishing, and tubing are right across the road. Finish out the upstairs and live with your horses, or build a separate home on the acreage and keep the barn for the animals.

First time on the market in many years, this incredibly unique property sits just beyond the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork of the New River, where the two rivers come together to create a big, beautiful, wide stretch of water and you get an impressive amount of frontage to enjoy it. With over 8 acres of remarkably usable land, this property opens the door to just about anything you can dream up. The acreage lays exceptionally well, is easy to walk, and offers multiple potential building sites, both along the river and across the road overlooking it. Build your dream riverfront home, create a private family compound, add cabins or vacation rentals, or simply enjoy the space exactly as it is. Already in place is a modestly updated 1980s ranch-style home offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a spacious kitchen, dining area, living room, large laundry room, and beautiful views of the New River. Live here full-time, use it as your mountain getaway, or move right in while you design and build something new on another portion of the property. There was even once a pond beside the home that could potentially be restored for another great outdoor feature. Then there’s the riverfront. For years, a portion of the property has been home to Zaloo’s Outpost, giving this tract a history unlike almost anything else you’ll find along the New River. The existing business itself does not convey, but much of the infrastructure remains—including an outpost/bathhouse with separate men's and women's restrooms, shower stalls, and hot water. That creates some seriously exciting possibilities. Continue primitive camping along the river. Explore RV sites. Add glamping tents, tiny cabins, or other vacation rental concepts. Create a private river retreat for friends and family. Or forget the business side altogether and turn the outpost into your own private riverfront party spot, complete with bathrooms and showers already in place. Whether your vision is residential, recreational, investment-minded—or a little bit of all three—this property gives you the space and flexibility to make it happen. Wide New River frontage. Over eight usable acres. Multiple building sites. Existing residence. Bathhouse infrastructure. Potential income opportunities. And a location immediately downstream from one of the most iconic stretches of the New River. Properties with this much river, this much usable land, and this many possibilities simply do not come along often. Bring your plans, bring your imagination, and come walk this one—you’ll understand very quickly just how special this one is! Small cemetery on property.
