About this home

Opportunity beckons. Stunning Persimmon Green Farm spans 73 acres of serene countryside, a short 25-minute drive to downtown Asheville. The diverse land features 15 acres of level bottom, 24 acres of gentle to moderate rolling terrain, and 32 acres of steep land. It offers numerous build sites, including layered, long-range views at its summit. There is versatility for various endeavors, with ample road frontage ideal for a boutique development. Natural features such as meandering creeks, a pond, and a canopy of mature trees enhance the allure and functionality. 2 houses are included, one of which is a spacious 5,000-SF long-term rental comprising 7 bedrooms, 6/3 bathrooms, and a newer roof. Additionally, there is a motorcycle garage, 5-stall barn, greenhouse, and hay barn. There is limitless potential here as a working farm, ranch, family compound, or small subdivision. Don't miss the chance to own this remarkable piece of land, offering tranquility and opportunity in equal measure.

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

Include but are not limited to:

Gas station
General retail
Restaurant
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
