Live the rural, private life in Leicester, with Asheville just a short drive away! This 2.56-acre spot has it all — it’s fenced in, gently sloped, filled with trees and flowers, and it even has a pond and amazing views. Open-use zoning allows for many possibilities, as you could build a home, open a business, or start a farm. The house has a nice kitchen, three bedrooms, and a great room with awesome views. The primary suite has its own deck and hot tub, also with great mountain views and expansive nighttime skies. Downstairs, there’s a finished basement with a separate entrance, perfect for guests or potential rental income, should you decide to add a kitchen. Plus, there are two outbuildings — one for a shop and the other one set up as an art studio. The sellers are including a home warranty. You need to see this place!

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.
