Description
Located in the rapidly appreciating foothills of West Asheville, this exceptional 2.31-acre estate represents a rare “buy and hold” opportunity that perfectly pairs immediate, high-performing cash flow with massive long-term development upside. At the heart of the property sits a beautifully renovated, fully turnkey 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage that effortlessly defines “mountain modern” living. Inside, the home boasts a bright, open-concept layout with updated appliances and crisp contemporary finishes, while the oversized viewing deck serves as an outdoor living room with a front-row seat to long-range mountain sunsets. Generating revenue from day one, the cottage is ideally suited as a premier short-term rental, a chic primary residence, or a proven long-term income producer. Beyond the immaculate home lies the property’s true crown jewel: 2.31 acres of expansive, mostly cleared, and gently rolling land. Zoned for Low-Density Multifamily, this highly scalable acreage is a developer’s dream or a homeowner’s private sanctuary, offering ample room to build additional dwellings, guest houses, or a private family compound. The “easy-build” gentle slope significantly reduces future site-prep costs, and the property comes equipped with practical infrastructure, including extensive parking for multiple vehicles or equipment and a large central storage shed perfect for a workshop conversion. Positioned to offer a peaceful, “deep-woods” feel without isolation, the estate is located less than 10 minutes from the breweries and boutiques of Haywood Road, and under 15 minutes from the world-class culinary scene of Downtown Asheville. Ultimately, this is a highly strategic acquisition for the forward-thinking buyer who recognizes the unmatched value of combining immediate cash flow with smart, equity-rich land banking in Western North Carolina.
