The possibilities on this peaceful 1.23-acre property are endless! Take a deep breath and feel your nervous system slow as you step onto the thoughtfully designed grounds. Character, versatility, and intentional updates are found throughout. Inside the west- and south-facing home, vaulted ceilings and a beautifully updated kitchen create a bright, welcoming living space with a highly functional layout. Served by a two-bedroom septic system, the home features one bedroom, two bathrooms, a soaking tub, and a stylish wood-burning stove. The property offers exceptional flexibility with a large barn/workshop, a separate studio building (ideal for additional living space, creative work, or guests), plus three additional outbuildings for animals or storage. Established garden area with raised beds and a fully fenced yard make the land ready to enjoy. With open-use zoning, over 150 feet of road frontage, and just 20 minutes to Asheville, this unique property offers endless possibilities—mini-farm, homestead, subdivide, creative studio, short-term rental, or small business.

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.
