Community: Barnardsville in Buncombe County
35-Acre Private Mountain Homestead — Turnkey Infrastructure, Cabin Awaiting Finish. Tucked above Barnardsville on 35.14 private acres with year-round long-range mountain views, this is Western North Carolina the way it used to be — and mostly still is. A partially constructed log cabin (2020, 1,472 SF, 3BR/2BA footprint) sits at the top of a steep gravel driveway that keeps the world at the bottom of the mountain. The bones are in: log exterior, metal roof, crawl space foundation, framing, subflooring, rough plumbing. Well and septic are installed. A covered porch, deck, and side porch frame the views. The cabin is sold as-is — an opportunity for the buyer who sees what it will become, not what it is today. Infrastructure already on site (conveying with the property): Two 20-foot shipping containers for secure storage, two travel trailers for temporary accommodations (both powered with water and septic), and a Bobcat side-by-side for navigating the terrain. That's $40K+ in homestead infrastructure included. 35+ acres of wooded, sloped terrain with a creek, mature timber, and the kind of privacy most people only read about. Electric gate at the access. No HOA, no CCRs, no restrictions. For the buyer who values privacy, self-sufficiency, and a canvas to finish their way: this is the one. DO NOT USE APPLE MAPS: It leads to the WRONG PROPERTY and upsets neighbors. Google Maps is correct.
