Lots & Land-Other in Grassy Creek

HISTORIC GRASSY CREEK-OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY on this 14.671 acre tract of land where Mount Carmel Baptist Church still stands tall. Even though the church is 150 years old, it is still standing and could be restored. According to Ashe County Historic records, church services were held on this property the fourth Saturday of each month. According to the same records, this church was built around 1876 and church services continued there until about 1952.There is also a small cemetery (possibly a second) on the subject property. The property is about one third in pasture and the remainder is in wooded. There is a stream on the back side of the property. The old road that begins at Weavers Ford Road and runs through this property was the original horse and wagon road than ran from Jefferson to Virginia according to historic records. This property is definitely a one of a kind. Four- wheel drive needed to navigate one small area of the access road.
