One of a kind property in an unbelievable location. Over 5 acres of riverfront, with 1000' of river frontage. You could have horses in the Asheville city limits! Walk to the WNC Nature Center, the soccer fields, or across the street to the public park with lakes and a dog park. The log building is a total of 3,073 sf., with 1,333 sf. finished into a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and 2 full baths, with a 1,740 sf attached workshop/garage. Also has a separate 1,142 sf garage/workshop. The singlewide was rented for $600 per month. Previous owner was a cabinet maker and used the workshops to build custom cabinets. The large attached workshop garage would be perfect for a car/bike collector, wood worker, artist, or, potter, or could be converted to barn/stable space for horses. Would also be a great place for someone that owned a landscaping business and needed lots of storage space for equipment. Zoning would only allow a home based business with restrictions.
