Available again! A classic Farmhouse situated in the middle of 12.5 or more beautiful acres of pasture. The old homestead has seen better days and the value is mostly in the land. There are a couple of outbuildings including a newer 900 sf garage and and older 500 sf garage so storage is not an issue. Public water runs along Olivette road and the zoning allows for all types of different uses. Development, commercial usage, farming you name it. The land is absolutely accessible and usable and a property like this only comes along once in a century(which happens to be about how old the house is!). Close to Asheville and heaven too! County roads take me home............
