Several years ago, a young aspiring and self-reliant family had a dream. They wanted their children to thrive and explore nature. They traded in conventional life for one that celebrates local food and the land it comes from. They successfully set out to restore this circa-1940s cottage farmhouse near downtown Albemarle NC and convert the land into a sustainable organic small homestead - fresh eggs, heirloom tomatoes, and blueberries too numerous to harvest. The land offers open pasture spaces and forest with a seasonal creek. Fruit trees. Grape trellis. Wired greenhouse, chicken coop, and metal workshop. They worked hard to create rich raised bed gardens. Beautiful flowering trees and bushes surround the home including dogwoods, azaleas, and peonies. The current owners are relocating to another state. A new story is ready to begin, bring your animals, bee hives and plenty of canning jars. Stainless refrig stays. New stainless dishwasher. New HVAC. Totally updated electrical service.

R-8
Neighborhood Residential District
The R-8 Neighborhood Residential District is intended to emphasize a more standard, medium-density district like those found in Albemarle's early suburbs in closer proximity to the downtown core. The principal use of land is devoted to a wider mix of housing types while still promoting an overall residential character. The R-8 Neighborhood Residential District is commonly found outside of walking distances to downtown and commercial areas, but is still well connected and is a good district for infill development in such areas. This district allows for single-family detached and attached dwellings and two-family dwellings along with limited home occupations and private and public community uses.
