About this home
High-visibility commercial property for sale in Candler, NC located along Smokey Park Highway just minutes from Asheville. This 0.5-acre site features a ±580 SF building and a rare on-site billboard generating $2,000 per year in income through 2027, with future potential for owner-use advertising. Positioned on a high-traffic corridor, the property offers strong exposure for retail, office, or service-based businesses seeking visibility in the growing Asheville MSA. Zoned Open Use, allowing for flexible commercial applications including retail, café, boutique, office, and other business uses. Ideal for an owner-user or small business operator, the cost to own may be comparable to leasing while providing long-term equity, control of location, and built-in signage visibility. The existing billboard structure offers a unique branding opportunity not typically available with similar small commercial properties. This is a rare small-format commercial opportunity near Asheville with value-add potential through renovation, repositioning, or lease-up to a tenant. The bathroom downstairs in not functional and there is no bathroom upstairs. The septic system cannot be located and there is nothing on file. We have an estimate from a local contractor that the buyer can use to build a new bathroom upstairs. Owner Financing available.
