About this home

Prime 61-Acres commercial & mixed-use land on Charlotte Hwy (US 74A). Unrivaled development opportunity in the highly sought-after Reynolds/Fairview corridor, just minutes Southeast of downtown Asheville. Spanning 61 contiguous acres, this is the only sizeable tract along this key 5 lane commercial corridor featuring both City Water and MSD Sewer availability. Zoning is open Use (OU) providing maximum flexibility for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development. Approximately 600 feet of high-visibility frontage along Charlotte Hwy (US 74A). Approximately 6 acres cleared frontage for immediate development or retail/commercial buildout. Property transitions from highway-frontage flat land into many acres of rolling terrain, then steeper culminating at a spectacular 3–4-acre natural plateau at the pinnacle where there are breathtaking, unobstructed views of Cedar Cliff and distant mountain ranges looking toward downtown Asheville. 1,600 sq. ft. metal building currently hosting a VW repair shop with ~1 acre of fenced storage/yard space. Short-term income/flexibility as current tenants (VW repair shop, mulch yard, and equipment storage lot) can remain in place for immediate income or receive a 60-day notice to vacate upon purchaser preference. Old house of no value sits beside small pond. Some 4wd access but most old logging roads are overgrown for vehicles.
