About this home

Elegant homestead set amidst nearly 40 acres of rolling hills with glorious views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and overlooking stocked ponds. Originally operated as an apple orchard in the early 1900's, this southern, elegant estate home has been lovingly cared for and tastefully updated with a neutral, soft palette, timber beamed ceilings, large picture windows, modern baths and a refined kitchen. Enjoy stunning views of the surrounding mountains, private ponds or expansive pasture from nearly every room. Sprawling rooms and spaces can accommodate many guests or large families. Continue using the home as a private estate- or easily convert it into a stunning wedding venue, B&B, working farm or equestrian estate. Located just 15 minutes to vibrant downtown Asheville or quaint downtown Black Mountain and convenient to grocery, shopping and entertainment. Possible development opportunity. Separate guest home & additional garage on site.

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
