Alleghany County, North Carolina
Alleghany County occupies North Carolina's northern High Country along the Blue Ridge Parkway, bordering Virginia, with Sparta as its only incorporated town and the New River winding through pastureland and forest. Real estate activity centers on second-home and vacation-rental demand in Roaring Gap and along the river, where large unplatted tracts and steep-slope terrain shape what parcels can actually be subdivided or built on.
