About this home
Lavender Hill – Your Mountain Sanctuary Awaits Perched on a mountaintop 12-acre sanctuary in the North Carolina mountains, Lavender Hill is far more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. This thoughtfully built 2008 sq ft, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence combines rustic charm with modern practicality, offering the perfect retreat for those seeking privacy, self-sufficiency, and breathtaking natural beauty. A View Worth Living For Imagine waking up feeling as though you’re floating above the world, with nature as your constant companion. Winter views of 30-40 miles. Inside: Warmth & Character Step inside to discover heart pine floors that warm the space with rustic elegance. The heart of the home—a wood-burning fireplace in the generous living room—invites you to settle in with morning coffee or gather loved ones on crisp mountain evenings. In addition to the main kitchen, there is a galley kitchen, anchored by a large farmhouse sink that’s perfect for everything from meal prep to craft projects and mudroom activities. The spacious main kitchen features both a modern propane stove and a vintage-style wood-burning cooking stove (think Pioneer Princess charm meets practical functionality). Whether you’re whipping up weeknight dinners or hosting gatherings, this dual-fuel setup keeps meals warm and the kitchen cozier than any heating system could achieve. Your Private Retreat Awaits Outside The home’s wrap-around porch and screened side porch are designed for mountain living—perfect for morning meditation, evening cocktails, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air. The 12-acre lot is a nature lover’s canvas: mostly wooded for privacy, yet planted with fruit trees, berry bushes, and herb gardens. A greenhouse and chicken coop support the homesteader’s dreams, while maintaining the serene, natural aesthetic. The Workshop Studio – Your Creative Sanctuary A detached garage with attached workshop and upstairs studio (complete with its own wood stove) gives you space to create, work remotely, or pursue passionate projects year-round. This is equally compelling for artists, craftspeople, or those seeking private office space with a view of the forest. Move-In Ready & Future-Proof This home has been maintained and upgraded: new heat pump, water heater, well infrastructure, fully encapsulated crawl space, roof with transferable warranty, and a Generac 22kw whole-house generator ensuring reliable power in any season. The whole house water filtration system gives some of the best tasting well water around. You’re ready to move in and simply enjoy. Location: Remote Yet Connected Just 15 miles from the charming town of Black Mountain and 13 miles from the scenic beauty of Lake Lure, you enjoy genuine privacy while staying close to restaurants, galleries, outdoor recreation, and community. Perfect For… • The family seeking a spacious, character-filled mountain home • Entrepreneurs building a boutique bed & breakfast or Airbnb • Homesteaders committed to self-sufficiency and sustainable living • Creative professionals craving a retreat with studio space • Anyone dreaming of mountain living without compromise Lavender Hill isn’t just a property—it’s an invitation to live your best mountain life.?”

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.
