About this home

Looking for a solid home with land to build your dream home? Don't miss this lovingly built and maintained one-family-owned home. The 8+ acres contain fruit trees and bushes, a stream, a creek, your very own waterfall, and per family members, possibly several additional homesites, including one with a potentially gorgeous long-range view. Newer windows in majority of the house, newer appliances, custom-built fireplace insert, and per family, oak hardwood under most current flooring. The home is nestled close to the waterfall (behind the house) where a seating area and firepit could easily be installed, overlooks the creek, and is an easy and beautiful 6 mile drive from I40-approximately 33 minutes from downtown Asheville. Built by the family of the sellers, the home contains much history and many materials from the area, including the mantle, which was made from a mulberry once growing on the land. Tax value reflects "Elderly Exclusion." Motivated seller. Bring an offer.
