The perfect vacation rental! Located in the heart of the beautiful Fairview community this 2.5 acre private estate offers peaceful, country living, yet is a short 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville and 5 minutes to shopping and restaurants. This lovely, custom home was built with multi-generational living in mind. The main level features a full living area on each side of the home, with two full kitchens, two great rooms with beautiful fireplaces and hardwood floors, two dining areas, two half baths and a massive covered back balcony that has long range mountain views and is accessed from both living areas. The upper level has 2 large master bedrooms, 3 full baths as well as 3 guest bedrooms. The lower level features a huge family room, craft or exercise room, workshop, a 2 car garage and a separate 1 car garage, along with a full bath. This would also make the perfect VRBO!

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.
