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, its only inhabitants at the moment are the two horses that call it home, Navarre and Sweet Pea.
Most of the property has been untouched for the past 20 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 10 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 camp fire while listening to the horses chew their hay and frolic in their pasture.
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!
We really enjoyed our stay on Amber’s land! Amber and Woody were both kind and helpful, and they offered recommendations of activities in the area, showed us around the property, and gave us bitter melons! We were only able to stay a night, but we’d happily come back to spend more time there in the future :)
