Ashe County

One visit is enough for most people to see why Ashe County is considered to be one of North Carolina's best-kept secrets. With mild winters and cool summers, the climate is ideal. The surrounding beauty along with an abundant supply of outdoor activities make Ashe County a perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast or those who just want to get away from it all. Recent growth within the county has been spurred by the rare opportunity to purchase pristine mountain property with breathtaking vistas, clear mountain streams, and unspoiled natural beauty. All this while located near a thriving small community of open-minded and friendly residents who care deeply about their community and preserving their low stress lifestyle.

With a population of 26,577 residents spread out over 426 square miles, Ashe County has a variety of restaurant and shopping opportunities. Large chain stores are conveniently placed close to towns and main highways. Lowes Home Improvement, Walmart, Ingels, and CVS are just a few stores within a mile of West Jefferson and Jefferson. Grab a quick bite at Mcdonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, and many others. Enjoy quaint shops and southern hospitality in downtown West Jefferson. Bigger than Mayberry, but with the same charm and an artsy flare.

Location

Ashe County occupies the northwestern corner of North Carolina and shares a common border with both Virginia and Tennessee. Located within the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ashe County elevations range between 2900 and 5195 feet. West Jefferson, the county's largest town, is located only 25 minutes north of Boone and 30 minutes northwest of Wilkesboro. While West Jefferson and Jefferson are only one mile apart and contain the majority of commercial activity, several nearby communities such as Todd, Laurel Springs, and Lansing each have their own small-town appeal. Although the county has maintained its rural feel, it remains in close proximity to many larger cities such as Winston-Salem (90 minutes) and Charlotte, NC (2 hours).
