Ashe County, North Carolina, for many, is all about its remarkable people, its remarkable scenery, remarkable natural beauty, and, of course, the remarkable mountains that, in fact, are Ashe County. Yes, it is a remarkable place to visit or live…you make the choice!
Nestled in the Northwestern corner of beautiful North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ashe County is surrounded to the West by the State of Tennessee and to the North by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ashe County is the mountains, a look and a drive in any direction proves the same. Whether marveling at the elegance of Mt. Jefferson at 4900 feet, enjoying downtown West Jefferson at 3000 feet, or pondering the awesomeness of "The Peak", majestically reaching 5500 feet, it remains quite clear that you are in the mountains.
Ashe County is clean fresh air, incredible layered mountain views, unobstructed for miles and miles, and charming mountain towns…West Jefferson, Jefferson, Todd, and Lansing. It is the historic American Heritage and Scenic New River, and sparkling mountain streams, perfect for your relaxation and enjoyment and a welcome challenge for the fly fishing enthusiast. Ashe County enjoys four distinct and refreshing seasons, never ending natural beauty, a panorama of constantly changing native flowering shrubs and wild flowers, and an abundance of precious wildlife…deer, turkey, raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, an occasional black bear, and a multitude of colorful song birds. Ashe County is also sunrises, and sunsets…if you love a brilliant gold and red sky, then hold on!
Can you imagine a "warm" summer day, say a high of 85 degrees, but with no humidity, and no bugs, or how about a cool summer night, maybe 55-60 degrees, certainly no need for AC, let’s open the windows, turn on the paddle fan and snuggle under a light blanket…this is mountain living, this is really Cool! Ashe County is all about relaxation, a little more peace and quiet, a different climate, a slower pace, and simply "taking time to smell the roses" as they say, or the rhododendron, mountain laurels, Fraser Fir Christmas trees, and our abundance of seasonal wild flowers.
