12 mins to Asheville. 5 mins to Weaverville. Adorable! Previously a short-term rental Airbnb. Steady reservations! Some high-end Old Hickory furnishings are negotiable. Blending nicely with her surroundings, she sits on a knoll, surrounded by 1.4 private, gated & partially fenced acres. Just across the road is loud Flat Creek. The French Broad River is a few minutes away. I’ll miss evenings on the porch where the sounds of the creek never cease. Some amenities include a great room w/ cathedral ceiling & gas fpl, a large kit w/5-burner gas range, & large capacity w/d. The enormous bath has pebble-stone flooring, hammered-copper sink, & multi-head shower. Just outside, there’s a large deck & 6-person spa. Excellent as an Airbnb, some very nice Old Hickory furnishings are negotiable. The cabin has been upgraded & includes all-new underfloor structural supports, new insulation, new air-handler, new gas lines to kitchen, new disposal, new gas range, new washer & dryer.

OU
Open Use District
The OU Open Use District is established as a district in which all uses are allowed by right, except for certain uses that are regulated as conditional uses so as to ensure that neighborhood impact is mitigated. Additionally, those uses which are specific to the Airport Industry District (AI) are excluded from the OU Open Use District. The neighborhood impact from conditional uses will be mitigated through the use of minimum specific site standards combined with general standards which provide the flexibility to impose a higher level of specific site standards dependent upon the degree of neighborhood impact. No zoning permit shall be required for permitted uses in the OU Open Use District.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Gas station
General retail
Restaurant
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
