About This Home

Priced below recent appraised value! This versatile property offers endless possibilities with no restrictions, creating excellent potential for a primary residence, vacation home, or short-term rental (buyer to verify). Tucked away at the end of a dead-end road in a private, wooded setting, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience—just 10 minutes from the entrance to Pisgah National Forest and 15 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport. The home sits on a spacious, usable lot with a fenced backyard and plenty of open green space for gardening, pets, or outdoor entertaining. Inside, you'll find fresh interior paint and new carpet in all three bedrooms, making it move-in ready. The septic system was pumped in January 2025. A true standout feature is the 1,538 sq. ft. detached garage/workshop with 3-phase power. This exceptional building offers outstanding flexibility for a woodworking shop, automotive or trade business, studio, equipment storage, or other small business opportunities. With its size and utilities, and room in gravel drive for up to 8 parking spaces, it also presents exciting potential for conversion to a separate living space or short- or long-term rental (buyer to verify zoning, permits, and intended use). This unique property combines privacy, convenience, and exceptional versatility in one outstanding package.
