*The property weathered Hurricane Helene with no apparent damage to the home. Are you looking for privacy? Seclusion? An oasis in the woods? Less than 30 minutes from downtown Asheville, turn up your private driveway to the home, well off the main road. Zoned Open Use, the cleared areas around the home create options for homesteading, gardening, small animals (there's a chicken coop!) or just relaxing. The rest of the 30+ acres is yours to explore - trails up to the ridgetop views, clearing more land if you want, whatever your heart desires. There is an abundance of wildlife, and stars at night are big and bright. A major renovation was completed 5 years ago with great attention to detail and including a new well, new mini-splits and new appliances. Move-in ready, sit back on your front deck and exhale. *This listing is for 30.45 acres. Current parcel on County GIS shows 38.45 acres. 8 acres have been approved by the County to be subdivided off to the neighbor. Details available.
