If you want convenience, yet privacy coupled with beautiful land and a beautifully updated home, this is it!  Seriously, it is difficult to find a property that “checks all the boxes”, but this one does it in grand style.  Consider the following:

  • 70 acres just four minutes to I-40 west of Asheville, yet very private and quiet. No road noise here.  In fact, the road it fronts is a dead end road, meaning few people even know its here.  But you can be in Asheville or Weaverville in 15 to 20 minutes!
  • Approximately 12 acres of some of the most gently laying pasture/fields we’ve found.  This provides ample land for livestock, grazing as well as agricultural uses such as an orchard or row crops and gardens.
  • Not one, but TWO year round streams on the property.  First there is a large stream along one side of the property that actually enters the property at one point meaning you would own both sides of the stream.  This is rare.  Second, there is a spring fed stream that is sourced from WITHIN the property itself.  This is important because it means you control the water and could use it for irrigation or a backup water supply if desired.
  • The property encompasses a “bowl” with the property line following the ridgetop all the way around.  This is beneficial in that there is no offsite runoff or contamination.
  • There is even a pond!  Yes, the on site spring fed creek furnishes water to the lovely 1/3 acre pond.  The owner has provided photos of having caught fish up to 16 inches.
  • The property has two access points on the publicly maintained and paved road.  This is not always the case.  But here, you can get onto the property without sharing a driveway with neighbors.  An added bonus is that most of this frontage is at road grade meaning you don’t have to do a lot of grading.  The current driveway is via a recorded right-of-way that could continue to be used or abandoned if desired.
  • The topography is exceptional.  We are in the mountains, and most often the old timers only cleared the most gently laying portions, leaving the steep woodlands alone, but in this case, the majority of the wooded portion lays as well as that of the pasture.  That means you could add pasture or use these areas for additional homesites.  There are multiple flat building sites within the woods, including one that sits on a knoll that would provide tremendous mountain views.
  • South facing property.  Much of the property, including the pasture is south facing meaning you’ll have maximum solar gain and thus could install efficient solar panels if desired.
  • The House:  The house is an immaculately fully updated house.  It features three bedrooms with two full baths. (two bedrooms on the main level)  The updates include new flooring, new HVAC, new paint, new kitchen cabinets and appliances, new bathrooms and plumbing fixtures, new crawl space encapsulation system, etc.  There’s an attached two car garage making it very convenient during inclement weather.  Plus, all furnishings at time of listing convey!  Note: the septic system is permitted for two bedrooms, so technically, the house can only be marketed as a two bedroom dwelling, but the reality is that in this area, this house lives and functions as a three bedroom house.  How you want to use it is up to you.  A third septic drain line could likely be installed if desired.

SUMMARY:  This is one of the best all around properties we’ve have the joy of marketing.  If you value privacy yet convenience; quality of both land and dwelling, then this is it.  The property is perfect for homesteading, prepping, building multiple dwellings.  Call today for a private showing.  ONLY qualified buyers can tour after providing proof of funds in the form of a financial statement or letter of reference from one’s financial advisor attesting to financial capability.  A “pre-qual” letter from something like Quicken Loans won’t cut it.
