Distinctive country farm house in the heart of Fairview, a few miles east of US 74A. Mountain views, character and history all on level to gently sloping land! Major renovations to the kitchen, upstairs bedrooms, both baths and a fresh coat of paint throughout! New roof installed in 2014. New AC 2020. Small barn and storage shed on property with ~1/3ac of pasture. Seller's goal was to maintain the historical integrity of this home with all upgrades, including trim work, beaded ceiling, fireplaces, built-in cabinets, etc. All are reminiscent of the original farm house. The home was originally located on the former Sleepy Hollow dairy farm. The beautiful view to the north is Flat Top Mountain that overlooks the Swannanoa Valley. The home is vacant and easy to show in a quiet and peaceful setting. Come see it now!

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.
