About this home

READY TO BUILD with long-range, year-round mountain views! This one-acre homesite offers a great head start for your mountain home, with a well already installed and easy access to the property. The lot rises to a more level area at the top, providing a natural location for the future homesite, while woods along the back add privacy and a peaceful mountain setting. Located in an established, friendly neighborhood just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, the property combines beautiful views with convenient access to restaurants, shops, and everything the city has to offer. With the well already in place, the next steps are simply adding a driveway and septic system before bringing your home plans to life. See attached documents for an FAQ sheet with additional HOA information, expired septic permit, and other property details.
