Welcome to this cozy cottage nestled into a quiet, peaceful setting that's still close to everything you need — 12 miles to downtown Asheville, 7.5 miles to the shops and restaurants along Haywood Rd in West Asheville, and just 3 miles to the grocery store. At 640 sq ft and fully updated in 2020 this is a wonderful home to call your own. Everything's on one level: 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry area. It's bright and welcoming, with a covered back porch that looks out over the open field behind the homes. The owners also put real money into the important stuff — basement waterproofing, sump pumps, and structural repairs all backed by a transferable warranty. Shared well and septic system and with a 3-part water filtration system. Out back, there's a big, sunny field with long-range mountain views, fenced garden bed, and level area at the top — perfect if you've been dreaming of a garden, some chickens, or just wide-open space to spread out. Come see it for yourself — the setting is peaceful, and the possibilities are wide open. All furnishings negotiable.
Property offers a lot of potential. Both houses need extensive rehab. Main house offers 2 bedrooms, home office, den with fireplace, living room and a full basement. 2nd home offers 2 bedrooms and a large den. Shared well and septic system.

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.
