About this home

PRICE IMPROVEMENT!! Incredible opportunity in the highly desirable South Asheville/Arden area! Nestled on a beautiful 0.76-acre lot in the heart of Averys Creek, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, mature trees, lush landscaping, and a picturesque creek bordering the property. Enjoy the peaceful setting while being just minutes from Asheville Regional Airport, I-26, the Asheville Outlets, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the NC Arboretum, Biltmore Park Town Square, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, Bent Creek Experimental Forest, and an abundance of shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. Downtown Asheville and historic Hendersonville are both within an easy drive. The existing bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for renovation, restoration, or reimagining, making it ideal for investors, builders, or buyers looking to create a home tailored to their vision. While the home is ready for updating, the exceptional homesite, natural beauty, and unbeatable location provide a tremendous foundation for future value. Imagine relaxing on the covered porch while listening to the peaceful sounds of the creek just steps away. Properties offering this combination of privacy, convenience, and natural beauty are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Bring your vision and discover the possibilities this special property has to offer.
