Another 1020 Rock House in need of total rehabilitation. Many times people have asked for a place to park a Recreational vehicle or a tiny home. This could be used for that or it could be made into a rental property. It could be made into a nice home with LOTS of work. In any case, the location is very convenient to Leicester and Asheville is a short drive down the new 4 lane to Asheville. It has great long range views and is over an acre of good useable property. Priced so your buyer can feel good about buying it. CAUTION, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN SHOWING. THERE ARE NO STAIRS INTO THE BASEMENT AND THERE IS NO FLOOR IN ONE CLOSET. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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
Include but are not limited to:
