About this home

Well-maintained Private Mountain Homestead in beautiful, quiet valley setting. Well established fruit trees and a variety of flat sun/shade mix areas ideal for growing a wide array of vegetation. Multiple fenced pastures previously used for raising goats; fenced backyard for dogs. Built-in grill with cover structure in the backyard. Stone fireplace with wood-burning stove really ramps up the wintertime charm for the large living room! Partially finished basement previously used for sound recording could easily be converted into a nice home studio with most of the work already done for you; and there is still workshop space. Terrific back porch looking up through the valley, and renovated finishes that leave the buyer with only areas of personal preference to change. Close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough away to provide the back-to-nature feel. If you are looking for a serene country retreat under 10 miles from downtown Asheville, here is your chance!

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
Housing-Multiple units
Manufacturing
Warehouse
