We are proud to present a truly once-in-a-lifetime estate nestled in the heart of Laurel Springs, offering over 265 breathtaking acres in one of the most scenic settings the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer. This remarkable property is bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway on one side and adjoins NC Game Lands in Wilkes County on the other, providing unmatched privacy, protected surroundings, and direct access to thousands of acres of preserved land. The driveway to the land is one of the few directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway because this old farm predates the Parkway. As you approach the house you cross a beautiful stream with wild flowers, then fields for horses or cattle open up around you. There is the pond and the house on a site where people have lived for at least 150 years. Driving or walking past the house you climb the old road through thick woods with a bold creek beside you with small water falls your children or grand children will love. The road opens out at the top to a broad and open highland straddling the eastern continental divide and offering unmatched views for potential home sites. The broad mountain top was in the past used for agriculture and grazing sheep. The tract forms its own protected watershed and is rich with springs of the purest water. The main residence offers a living room, kitchen, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 bathrooms. There is a guest house designed for pond views and access with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and laundry area (permitting in progress), and a charming cottage overlooking the pond—perfect for quiet mornings or visiting guests, and an old barn full of rustic character, ideal storage or creative reuse. Approximately 33.67 +/- acres are unencumbered around the existing house near the Parkway. , while 231.808 +/- acres of higher elevation are protected under a conservation easement with the Blue Ridge Conservancy, allowing just a few house sites while ensuring the long-term preservation of the natural beauty. The possibilities here are truly exceptional: a private mountain estate, wedding or event venue, bed and breakfast, wellness or retreat center, hunter’s paradise, a farm, or a thoughtfully designed combination of uses. Whether your vision is personal, a business, or legacy-focused, this property offers the rare scale, setting, and flexibility to bring it to life. Come home to your very own sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains—where nature, privacy, and opportunity converge.
