Been dreaming of moving to the countryside, but want to be close to the city? This is truly a special place — with endless possibilities, under 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville . The current owners tend their tremendous garden and raise rabbits, ducks, chickens, and goats. Start small or jump right into it! Or if possible build another structure to create the best family compound — with room to run and enjoy activities of all kinds. Space for big bonfires and tents if guests want to sleep outside. This home was custom-built in 2018 with everything the family wanted, including open and spacious downstairs, large bedrooms, hot water on demand, and lots of windows. Located among the Fairview/Fletcher farming community, this home sits on 3.48 acres in the center of a quiet valley overlooking the mountains and bordering 200 acres of protected land. Pick blueberries at the neighboring Cloud 9 Farm or take a short walk down the gravel road to Barn Door Ciderworks.

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.
Permitted uses
