Nestled at the end of a private wooded drive on 2.59 acres, 135 Whitaker Road is a true retreat—surrounded by nature yet only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. This home blends space, seclusion, and convenience in a way that’s rarely available. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is designed for flexibility, featuring two primary suites—one on the main level and another upstairs—perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or a growing household. Light-filled living spaces with hardwood floors and a cozy fireplace flow seamlessly onto the expansive wraparound porch and oversized back deck, ideal for entertaining or relaxing under the trees. Outside, this property offers more than just scenery: enjoy a full concrete basketball court with professional-grade backboard, a standalone outdoor shop, and a generous yard surrounded by mature trees. Whether you’re hosting, working, or playing, there’s room for it all. Opportunities like this don’t come often—privacy, acreage, and a rare 5-bedroom floor plan just minutes from Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, and Blue Ridge Parkway adventures.

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.
