About this home

Own a rare modern container retreat just minutes from Asheville—featuring two designer turnkey tiny homes (fully furnished), Pearl and Onyx, with added development potential and city utilities already in place. Pearl and Onyx Container Homes present a distinctive opportunity to own two thoughtfully designed modern container homes while also securing a highly usable homesite in a desirable location. With city water and city sewer already connected, the property offers flexibility for future expansion, redevelopment, or building a larger custom home while maintaining the existing structures. Each home showcases contemporary design with efficient, low-maintenance living, including sleek kitchens, well-appointed full baths, and curated interior finishes. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with spacious decks ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the surrounding mountain setting, along with private bedroom decks for added outdoor space. Whether you choose to maintain both homes as a short-term rental investment, live in one and rent the other, or utilize them as guest accommodations for a future primary residence, the options here are rare and versatile. The existing homes can remain as part of a larger vision or be removed to fully maximize the property’s potential. Located just minutes from Asheville’s dining, shopping, breweries, and outdoor recreation, this property combines immediate usability with long-term development potential—an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity in Western North Carolina.
