About this home
This mountain chalet in beautiful Fairview is a rare find. Located in the community of Crystal Falls with gated entry - about 25 minutes from Asheville and just under 30 minutes to Black Mountain. This 11.93-acre tract offers privacy and a possible second homesite already cleared with roughed-in driveway. Throughout the home, you will find many built-in features that maximize the space. With convertible fixtures like the drop-down table in the kitchen and desks in the loft, a murphy bed in the living room surrounded by built-in shelves and cabinets, and other hidden storage areas, you will appreciate the thoughtful and practical design. Original owners lived on a sailboat for many years and understood the importance of smart design when living in small spaces. Comes with a generator and designated generator panel in the breaker box for peace-of-mind in an outage. The outbuilding offers flexible space for a shed or workshop. Relax in a hammock by the stream or enjoy a long soak in the hot tub. The Rinnai tankless water heater ensures a steady supply of hot water. This is pure mountain living. (Pre-Listing Home Inspection Report available. *Note: Main Level living area is counted as the lowest below-grade level because earth touches two of the foundation walls, but it cannot be listed as main level due to Real Estate Commission Rules."

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.
