A peaceful nature-lover’s haven close to Downtown Asheville! 40 Rocking Porch Lane in Haw Creek Heights combines a quiet wooded setting with a wonderfully convenient location. Tucked into a pleasant, walkable neighborhood, this well-designed one-level home offers an easy, functional layout and has been well loved by its current owner. The covered front porch provides a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the flowering landscape, plus regular visits from hummingbirds, squirrels, rabbits, and even the occasional black bear!

Shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, and recreation are all just minutes away. You can be downtown in less than 10 minutes! Listed below a recent appraisal and with a 2-10 Home Warranty in place, this is an opportunity worth seeing. Come take a look!
Haw Creek, located between Downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway, is a residential and outdoorsy Asheville neighborhood with a creekside valley and wooded ridgelines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Haw Creek Road corridor near the Haw Creek Overlook, where a steady stream of cyclists and dog-walkers meets a low-key, local rhythm. Mid-century ranches and classic brick homes sit along curving streets, with pockets of newer builds tucked into the hills. Haw Creek Park and the John B. Lewis Soccer Complex set the tone for afternoons outdoors and weekend games. Highland Brewing Company and the Folk Art Center add two distinctly Asheville anchors—one for pints and patios, one for craft and culture. The landscape shifts quickly from neighborhood blocks to trailheads and scenic pull-offs.
