Ashe County, North Carolina
Ashe County occupies North Carolina's High Country near the Virginia border, a mountainous landscape of Christmas tree farms and the New River, anchored by Jefferson, its seat, and neighboring West Jefferson. It is the nation's top Christmas tree producing county, and demand leans on second homes and vacation land near Boone, making steep-slope zoning and septic limitations more decisive than typical subdivision growth.
