A nature lovers dream cottage on almost an acre with a stream bordering the large back yard filled with perennial flower beds .This home is cozy and comfortable and has a bohemian vibe with open Living room - Kitchen area and vaulted ceilings . A large main bed room on the right with another room to the left currently used as a guest room, ( not counted in the HLA , due to ceiling height).Back covered deck overlooks the spacious back yard as well as the neighbors horses, maybe you'll want to bring your own! If you enjoy being in the country, but easy access to downtown Asheville , this home could be your dream come true.( During Helene the creek water came up to the bottom of the door on the door to crawl space , and completely subsided the next day)
Attention investors and first time home buyers! Cute little fixer-upper on almost 1 acre in Candler. With some TLC, this could be a great opportunity to transform this home into a dollhouse. Abundant flower gardens have been tended by the owner for decades to make the back yard an oasis. Heated square footage is represented as 0 as all ceiling heights are under 7', and the heat source is a ductless mini-split in the living room. Total square footage under roof is 818. Property is being sold AS-IS

R-3
Residential District
The R-3 Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for a variety of residential development depending upon the availability of public water and sewer services. Some areas within the R-3 Residential District will have no public water and sewer services available and will thus be suitable primarily for single-family residential units on individual lots and mobile homes on individual lots. Other areas within the district will have public water and/or sewer service available and will thus be suitable for higher density uses such as multifamily residential units, planned unit developments, and mobile home parks. The R-3 district also provides for various recreational, community service and educational uses that will complement the residential development.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Community / recreation center
Religious facility
Housing-Group
