Build your perfect urban homestead on this 1.65-acre homesite in the heart of Olivette Riverside Community & Farm. This beautiful, easy-build lot offers level to gently sloping topography, abundant sunshine, and a mix of long-range mountain vistas and pastoral views overlooking Olivette Farm. With its open, usable land and ideal orientation, the site is well-suited for a variety of home designs and lifestyle visions—from a modern farmhouse with a kitchen garden to a nature-inspired retreat with seamless indoor/outdoor living. Just minutes from downtown Asheville, Olivette is a nationally recognized agrihood where modern convenience meets farm-to-table living. As one of the Southeast’s premier sustainable communities, Olivette blends thoughtful design, ecological stewardship, and community connection. Here, residents enjoy a lifestyle deeply rooted in food, nature, and wellness while benefiting from cutting-edge infrastructure like fiber optic internet, underground utilities, city water/sewer, and state-maintained roads. The community’s centerpiece is a fully operational, four-season organic farm that offers a CSA program, farm stand, and tailgate markets, along with farm-to-table events and educational programs. Residents also enjoy miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, community gardens, orchards, a large private river island with pavilion and stone fireplace, a fire circle amphitheater, a walking labyrinth, dog park, and even a suspended bridge connecting to a private island on the French Broad River. For those who love outdoor adventure and community connection, Olivette is designed to enrich daily living in every season. The community also features a 7-acre riverfront park, perfect for kayaking, picnicking, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. Beyond nature and recreation, Olivette fosters a rich cultural life with neighborhood events, wellness gatherings, concerts, and art initiatives. Connections to food, nature, community, and the arts are essential concepts of Olivette’s design—and they’re woven into the everyday rhythm of life here. Property is subject to a $2,000 Culture & Conservation fee to Olivette Arts Resources, a 501(c)(3) supporting cultural programming and land stewardship. Taxes TBD. Guided showings with on-site brokers are strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that Olivette has to offer. Conveniently located just 6.9 miles from downtown Asheville, Olivette feels like a retreat yet keeps you close to the vibrant restaurants, arts, and culture of the city. As described by Martha Stewart Living: “Tucked along the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina, lies the neighborhood of our dreams: From the lush open spaces to the picturesque homes to the working farm, Olivette Riverside Community and Farm is full of local food, charm, and community.” This homesite is more than land—it’s an invitation to live in a place where sustainability, creativity, and community thrive.
