The name Paradise Ridge came from the area my family settled in during the late 1600's. That place is
now called Joelton. I love the old name and I love that my family came through North Carolina to Tennessee, so I
decided to bring the name back east with me.
Creating Paradise Ridge as a permaculture paradise is my life's work. It is a slow and painful process in a world set on instant gratification but very rewarding to see it step by step each year.
We hope to share our passion with you.

Paradise Ridge is on a dead end road, with a gated community at the top of the mountain. It is a wonderful place in Fairview, NC. A small 5-acre lot completely off grid, we have no animals due to the storm that rocked the area.
Most of the property has been untouched for the past 30 years. The small area kept under hand is managed with a permaculture approach to make as little disturbance as possible and to keep it protected for the wildlife around the area. The property has been chemical free for the past 20 years under Paradise Ridge; thus, it has plenty of wild edibles around for your pleasure. Mushrooms, weeds and added edibles for your experience.
At the moment, we accept tents, hammocks, and the like for anyone to enjoy this little piece of paradise on Flat Top Mountain.
We are located between Asheville and Chimney Rock. There is SO much the area has to offer; it is too much to list here. You can find great food, good beer, and lively music in either direction from Paradise Ridge. Or you can enjoy a simple quiet shared camp fire area.
We are in the process of repairing fences, reseeding the pastures, and restructuring the hen house.
Amber and Jerry were great hosts to my wife and I staying in our small RV. Their property had some damage but our stay was still very pleasant. We enjoyed the sunset (prior to spring growth), easy access and exploring the property. Great location with fun local spots and ~30 mins from bigger attractions and Asheville
Thanks to Amber Jerry and Woody for making us feel so at home on their amazing land. Land is intentionally designed providing perfect amounts of cleared space, wild woods, and nice seating areas in between. Animals are all sweethearts and added lots of personality to our time there. Hosts are kind, accommodating, and insightful. So much great regenerative agriculture sprouting about as well. Highly recommend. Thanks for a wonderful stay ☺️
What a lovely place. Both Amber and Woody are soo helpful and willing to share info on the property. The compost bathroom was great and very useful. The fireplace was wonderful to relax around. Love the location. Would defiantly come back.
Such Unique spot! Amber has created a little slice of heaven! So fun to visit with the resident horses pigs chickens and pup named coco! Amber was a wonderful host! Gracious and generous with her time. My dog got a much needed play session with her dog! I would definitely stay again!
