About This Home

Intentional living meets everyday comfort on 2.04 private, wooded acres in Greenwood. This high-performance, green-built home sits within a sustainably planned 10-home community bordered by 13 acres of Buncombe County conservation greenway. Step outside to mature tree canopy, birdsong, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget you're just minutes from downtown Asheville. Built in 2014 by Southlight Builders with 2x6 construction, a sealed building envelope, extra insulation, and triple-paned windows and doors throughout, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, three-level home was designed to perform. Monthly utilities $25–$35. Twelve integrated energy systems work together to keep operating costs near zero. Twenty roof-mounted solar panels provide 50–100% of the home's electricity through net metering. A water-sourced, open-loop geothermal heat pump handles heating and cooling using about a third of the electricity of a standard HVAC system. Heat recovery ventilation serves the kitchen and bathrooms, while a destratification system maintains even temperatures across all three floors. A whole house fan, hybrid hot water heater, passive solar orientation, Energy Star appliances, induction stovetop, LED/CFL lighting, and a 240V EV charging line in the garage complete the package. Private well and septic mean no monthly water or sewer bills. Greenwood's $500/year HOA covers the paved private road and contracted snow removal when winter arrives. But the numbers are only half the story. This is a home built for slow mornings on the porch, evening fires under the trees, and weekends where you never need to leave — unless downtown's restaurants and galleries are calling, just a short drive away. The wooded lot offers natural privacy and direct trail access to the adjacent conservation greenway.
