About the Property
This property has 40 acres of pristine mountain and river assess. Southtoe River Ranch has miles of walking trails and over a ½ mile of river access where you can fish, picnic, explore, swim, tube/canoe and float the river. The property once had a working mica mine on the property that now has been turned into an awesome picnic area which also has a deep swimming hole that has been used by past generations over the last 100 years. Also unique to this property is that you have both long distance Mountain views and river views on the same property. The river ranch has horses to look at and a working orchard and vineyard. There are many walking trails from the lodge down to the river to explore. Walking down to the overlook platform from the lodge to relax and drink your coffee and listen to the river is an awesome experience. This is a very private secluded property to which there are many places to sit and relax and just enjoy the peace and quiet of the North Carolina Mountains.

The Location
The Southtoe River Ranch is incredibly easy to get to and conveniently located between two very scenic mountain communities of Burnsville NC and Spruce Pine NC. You can reach either historic town in about 10 minutes for grocery shopping or dinning out at some fantastic local restaurants and or visiting several breweries in which to choose from. Scenic golfing is only 20 minutes away to Mount Mitchell Golf Club which is rated 4 ½ stars by Golf Digest, and voted #1 semi-private course in the region by the readers of the Asheville Citizen Times. There are a lot of hiking trials with majestic waterfalls in the area. Half mile further from Mount Mitchell Golf Club is a trail head into the Pisgah National forest that leads up to the Roaring Fork waterfall which is one of the regions prettiest falls, and one of the easiest to hike. Another one of our favorite things to do is a trip to Linville Falls which is only about 25 minutes away. Pack a picnic when you go and after your hike from seeing the huge waterfalls we suggest you stop by Linville Falls Winery on your way back. The wine and atmosphere there at the vineyard is gorgeous. Make a day trip to Asheville. It’s only 45-55 minutes away and has some of the best restaurants, microbreweries, galleries and outdoor adventure activities like ziplining in the Southeast. Another must see if you have not been to Asheville is a visit to the incredible Biltmore Estate. A visit here is a must as its one of the most iconic estates to visit in the United States.
