About this home
A rare opportunity awaits with this 1.16-acre parcel at the peak of River Crest, one of the most desirable hamlets within Olivette, a nationally recognized agrihood just 6.7 miles from downtown Asheville. This homesite offers both practical readiness for building and access to an extraordinary community lifestyle. The land is gently rolling and already partially cleared, providing flexibility for multiple build options. From nearly every angle, you'll enjoy year-round mountain views and a southern exposure that maximizes natural light and supports energy efficiency and solar potential. Natural buffers create tucked-away private spaces, making it easy to design a home that balances openness with privacy. This lot includes city water, state-maintained roads, underground utilities, and a septic permit-helping reduce both cost and time in the building process. Living here means becoming part of Olivette Riverside Community and Farm, a 411-acre community designed around connection to land, food, and neighbors. At its heart is a working organic farm that provides fresh produce and fosters a true farm-to-table lifestyle. Amenities include: An expansive riverfront park on the French Broad River, with river access, pavilion, and fire pit; hiking and biking trails, community gardens, orchards and edible landscaping; dog park, pickle ball court, and community spaces for gathering. Olivette has been featured nationally as a model for modern agrihood design, blending mountain beauty, sustainable living, and community connection. This large parcel represents one of the few remaining premier homesites available at Olivette. It is to be subdivided from the parent tract, see survey and deed attached. If you've been seeking a homesite that combines natural beauty, convenience, and a vibrant sense of place, this lot delivers. More than just land, it's an invitation to join a thriving community that celebrates nature, nurtures connection, and embraces sustainability. Build your dream home and experience a beautiful life at Olivette. Documents (incl: Olivette ECR, Deed, Survey, Plat, Mineral/Gas/Oil Rights) available upon request.
