About this home

Gorgeous 3BR/3BA chinked log home with additional parcel in highly desirable Fairview, NC. Beautiful forest setting with great mountain views in the winter, flowering rhododendron in the summer, and the sound of a nearby stream year round….yet minutes to everything. The sellers have spared no expense in updating this beautiful property. Newly paved road and driveway to house for easy access. A partial list of improvements since 2019 includes four mini-splits, a new gas log fireplace kit, new kitchen cabinets, new rear deck and hot tub, new flooring and walls in the master BR, new front staircase, new radon mitigation system, and new windows throughout. The lower level was completely finished off, with the addition of a new full bath, new laundry room, new flooring and a game room addition. There is a FOURTH sleeping area in the basement. Home is currently set up as a successful, full-time vacation rental but would make a great primary residence or vacation home. Buyers will have the opportunity to purchase this as a turnkey, low maintenance rental property. Located just minutes to grocery store, post office, dining and two popular breweries....and only 20 minutes to Asheville. This home checks all of the boxes!

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.
