Located only 25 minutes from downtown Asheville, this charming farmhouse is a homesteader's dream. The property has an expansive fenced in yard, with 5 different paddocks. There is one bedroom on the main level, with two heated bonus/bedrooms upstairs falling just under seven feet in height. The sun room has a built-in bar seating that passes through to the kitchen, and offers extra living space. The property includes a barn, two-story mud/laundry room with an additional dwelling unit upstairs, a two bay garage workshop, and a carport - all offering endless opportunities to the future homeowners. From the large yard and outbuildings, to the additional bonus space upstairs in the home, there is plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy. Situated on two and a half acres, there is ample room to plant and play in the oversized yard. You are sure to love the rocking chair front porch, and the back patio and fire pit are perfect for hosting outdoor gatherings.

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.
