The High Country of North Carolina can be described as one of the most beautiful regions in the state. West Jefferson, NC is no exception. As with many other towns in the High Country, West Jefferson is a tight-knit community with strong values and great people who understand the importance of taking care of their neighbors.

Over the last several years, West Jefferson’s downtown has grown significantly, but in a responsible way. Many empty storefronts have made way for independent coffee shops, and retailers, as well as an incredible butcher shop, and a great restaurant scene. 

Visitors of West Jefferson often seek out the following places when they are in town:

  • Ashe County Cheese: What began as a cheese factory is now so much more. While they still make some of the best cheeses in North Carolina, they also offer sweet treats and local handmade goods.

  • The Hobby Barn: From RC cars to model trains and everything in between, Hobby Barn has just about everything you could imagine. Don't forget to stop by the old-fashioned candy counter and grab some homemade fudge on your way out the door!

  • Ashe County Frescoes:  In the 1970s, artist Ben Long crafted beautiful pieces of art to adorn two historic churches in the county.

  • New River Brewing: Incredible beer and great meals make New River Brewing a must-stop location when in West Jefferson. Its downtown location has ample parking and is central to a day of exploration throughout the main street and beyond.

Buying And Selling Land In And Around West Jefferson

As West Jefferson and the rest of Ashe County experience growth, there is no better time to make land deals than now. Not only are prices rising, but more land is becoming available as families see opportunities to sell unused properties from their portfolios. 

For Buyers 

Buyers looking to acquire property in West Jefferson should be sure that they understand that this is the mountain region of North Carolina. Not all properties are created equal, and that is especially true when you take things such as slope, elevation, and access into consideration. 

There are plenty of stories of land investors purchasing properties without stepping foot due to it being listed as “mountain land,” only to find out that it is an unusable parcel on the side of a cliff. Working with a real estate agent can help you avoid the pitfalls that many inexperienced buyers may fall victim to. 

For Sellers

If you are looking to sell property in West Jefferson, now is the time. As more and more people move into the area, prices are only going to continue to rise along with the demand. To ensure that you get the most out of your property promptly, it is vital to work with a real estate agent.
