Set in the heart of highly sought-after Beaverdam Valley, this four-bedroom, two-bath home comes with nearly four acres of woods, running streams, and close-range mountain views, all just minutes from downtown Asheville. Built in the 1940s and lovingly tended by the same family for decades, this single-level home is move-in ready, with custom woodwork throughout, abundant charm, and room to make the land your own. Inside, the spacious living room has a stone gas fireplace, generous windows to let the light in, black walnut floors, and a pair of antique doors repurposed as barn doors, complete with hand-carved detail and original hardware. The updated kitchen features expansive granite countertops, custom white oak and pecan cabinetry, black walnut trim, and a window over the sink. It opens to a dining area with built-in cabinets, room to seat a crowd, and a window looking out into the backyard. The mudroom off the kitchen is perfectly located by the back door and carport, and includes the laundry area plus ample storage. White oak and chestnut run through the hallway leading to the bedrooms, and two custom-built sliding barn doors serve the bathrooms. All four bedrooms have views of the yard and streams. The garage/outbuilding is currently set up as a workshop, with a second smaller building for outdoor storage. Step outside and the property opens up to a broad, level front yard, framed by lovely mature landscaping and rock outcroppings, with room for a garden, a fire pit, a gazebo, or a long table set for friends on a summer evening. From there, two trails wind back through the woods to the rear acreage, where a clearing surrounded by tall trees is ready for your vision: an outdoor entertaining space, an additional hobby or workshop structure, a peaceful retreat. Two streams run through the property, and the sound of moving water adds to the quiet of this special place. This is a home with real warmth, in a relaxing natural setting, yet you're still a short drive from the vibrant energy of Asheville's restaurants and shops downtown. Enjoy chasing sunsets with a view? Pack a picnic! You're only 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway with its stunning overlooks and Craven Gap Trail. Potential development opportunity: RS-4 zoning permits up to six units within the city, and multiple building sites may offer flexibility for expansion, guest homes, or investment.

There are mountain views, then there are BIG mountain views, then even more rare are BIG mountain views with extremely gently rolling fields and buildable ridgetops. This one has it all! All we do are land and farms, and this is one of the most stunning we've listed in years. Along the rear is a football field sized flat ridge with 180 degree views stretching out 26 miles to Mt. Mitchell and beyond. You read that right, 26 mile views! Yet you can easily drive to this spot and build your house or camp out. Down below, you'll find approximately 20 acres of gently laying, open fields ideal for farming, grazing, horses or building a house. Public paved road frontage with a new driveway to the key parts makes getting on and around a breeze. No need to share a driveway with anyone. There is even a house site already improved with a driveway, a flat graded building site complete with electrical service, high speed Spectrum internet (420mbps download), water and a 4 bedroom septic system installed! There is even a second septic permitted elsewhere on the property. This is as "turn-key" as you'll ever find. Folks, the unknowns and delays of permitting all these improvements are removed. Submit your building plans and start hammering away! But it gets even better. The 36 acres consist of two adjoining parcels of 26 and 10 acres. It may be possible to subdivide the 26 acres into two large parcels. Furthermore, you'll find a spring fed creek that is sourced within the property. Along the rich soils of the bottom land, there is a well conditioned hay barn, a classic drying barn with cellar built into the hillside and an open framed shed complete with air conditioned walk in cooler. Then there is an even larger equipment barn to one side. All of this is just 16 minutes to the Ingles in Leicester. There are no comps like it in the Leicester or Sandy Mush area, and of those listed, they are priced 25% or more higher per acre but without these views and features. This is an incredible opportunity. Showing agent will attend to lead around the property, and we'll have a blast! (please: appointment showings only)

Creekside property just minutes from Asheville offering two adjoining parcels and exciting development potential. Much of the costly site and infrastructure work is already in place, including poured foundation and block work, floor-joist framing, septic, city water, electric utility, gravel driveway and turnaround. A framed structure is included and remains unfinished inside, allowing the next owner flexibility to complete it to their vision. Cleared areas, mature trees and a peaceful creekside setting combine with convenient access to Asheville. Two existing parcels provide flexibility for an owner, builder or investor, with potential for an additional homesite or future development, subject to buyer verification of zoning, permitting and other requirements. Both parcels offered together.
