About This Property

Just three miles from the heart of downtown Asheville, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to either create a family compound or a new residential development project. Spanning over 12 acres, this sprawling estate combines end-of-the-road privacy with the convenience of being moments from downtown Asheville.

The home's position on the property allows for multiple development options. The existing estate could stay as is and the additional eight acres (approximately) could be developed, or the entire 12-plus acres could be developed. Buyer to confirm utility connections for development purposes and development potential with City of Asheville. Please see attachments for more development information.
