Welcome to 30 Red Oak Forest Road! Wake each morning to the soft glow of mountain sunrises, surrounded by rhododendron, mountain laurel, and crisp mountain air. This special property spans five very private, wooded acres—a rare offering of two adjacent parcels—within Fairview Forest, a 700-acre mountain retreat, one of Western North Carolina’s most sought-after private large-acreage communities. The residence is situated on a three-acre parcel along Red Oak Forest Road, with an additional adjacent two-acre lot accessed from Rock Springs Road, offering exceptional flexibility. Keep the second parcel undeveloped for added privacy, sell it to offset your investment, or build for long-term rental income, a second home, or an accessory dwelling. Enjoy walkable trails on the property, perfect for daily strolls and exploring your own wooded sanctuary. Modern convenience meets mountain living with SkyRunner fiber-optic internet available, making remote work and streaming effortless. Relish the peace and privacy of mountain life while being situated just 20 minutes from Asheville’s best, including downtown restaurants and breweries, the historic Biltmore Estate, and the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. The home itself is a 3BR/2BA contemporary retreat, meticulously maintained and truly move-in ready. For added peace of mind, the sellers are offering a one-year home warranty. An open layout and large windows invite natural light and bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. A spacious wrap-around deck offers a “treehouse” feel with mountain views—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The sunlit yard is ideal for pets and gardening, and the property also features ample parking, a garage, and additional tool sheds. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence where every day feels like a retreat, or a part-time mountain escape with long-term rental potential (six-month minimums permitted; no short-term rentals), this home delivers. Life at 30 Red Oak Forest Road is about slowing down, breathing deeply, and embracing the beauty of the mountains—without sacrificing convenience. This isn’t just a home; it’s the mountain lifestyle you deserve.

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.
