Escape to Your Private Riverview Sanctuary
What is the true value of owning a piece of heaven along the crystal-clear Toe River?
In a world where true, untouched beauty becomes rarer with each passing year, here lies an opportunity almost too extraordinary to describe — an investment not just in land, but in legacy, experience, and soul.
This is not simply a parcel of property; it is an heirloom asset — a place where generations will gather, memories will be made, and the river’s timeless song will fill your days.
Part I - The Home
Built in 2005 with technology in mind! The home offers a EV charger for folks that have electric vehicles.
Generator sub panel. The home will come with a generator that has already been wired into the home with a sub panel. This ensures you’ll have the ability to have power to the necessities incase of a power outage.
Wood Boiler- the home has a wood boiler installed and can be used as the primary or secondary source of heat.
Part II — The Land
The Jewel of the Toe River Valley
3.26± Acres of Prime Appalachian Majesty
Nestled quietly along the wild and pristine North Toe River in the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, this acreage offers the best of both worlds: absolute serenity and practical accessibility.
— a jewel-toned, boulder-strewn river so pure it draws anglers, kayakers, and nature-lovers from across the nation.
Imagine:
Morning mist rising off the water as you sip coffee on your future porch, the soothing babble of the river a constant companion.
Unlike most mountain properties, this land is fully usable — with gentle topography, rich soil, and abundant sunlight. The elevation ensures you experience all four distinct seasons in their finest expressions without the harshness of higher elevations.
Essential infrastructure is in place:
Ample room for additional home or garage
Easy private access via a gated enteryway
Underground electric
Mature hardwoods, native wildlife, and open field
The feeling here is unmatched: a rare sense of vastness and intimacy, wide open yet private — a canvas ready for your dreams.
Part III — The River
A Sacred Waterway
The North Toe River is not just beautiful — it is legendary.
Fed by countless springs and mountain creeks, its waters flow so clear and cold that they remain a sanctuary for some of the largest native brook trout in the Southeast. Known nationally for world-class fly fishing, the North Toe is also a playground for kayaking, tubing, swimming, and simple riverside relaxation.
From this property, you can enjoy miles of pristine river adventures, winding through dense forest, hidden coves, and open farmland — a true wilderness experience with civilization just a short drive away.
Access to the river is just below the gate before you cross the tracks.

ToeCane:
Toecane is a historic, unincorporated community nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Mitchell County, North Carolina. Located near Bakersville, it sits at the confluence of Cane Creek and the North Toe River, offering scenic riverfront views and a tranquil mountain setting.
Established in the late 19th century, Toecane gained prominence with the arrival of the Clinchfield Railroad, which transformed it into a bustling hub for commerce and industry. The community featured a depot, general stores, and manufacturing facilities, including the Jordan Manufacturing Company’s bobbin plant, supporting the regional textile industry. Innovations like the introduction of electric lights, powered by a local mill, marked Toecane as a progressive settlement of its time. ā
In 1919, the completion of Mitchell County's first paved road between Toecane and Bakersville further boosted local commerce and connectivity. ā
Today, Toecane retains its historical charm and natural beauty, with several old, large buildings standing as silent witnesses to its vibrant past. The community's serene environment, coupled with its rich history, makes it a unique and peaceful place to live or visit.
