Welcome to 54 Schoolhouse Drive in Canton — a classic WNC opportunity with history, potential, and room to grow. This 1940 home was hand-built by the original owners on what was once the Green family farm, later platted as Green Hill in the late 1930s. The property includes two adjoining lots, offering a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home on one parcel and future possibilities on the second parcel, subject to town approvals. With city water connected and city sewer available, future planning becomes more straightforward. Canton continues to evolve since the paper mill closure and is moving steadily into its next chapter. Its location is one of its strengths: about 20 minutes to Asheville, close to local conveniences, and within easy reach of Pisgah National Forest, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Haywood County Gateway to the Great Smokies. Everyday essentials, riverfront recreation, and small-town charm are all nearby. The home, sold as-is and with low ceilings, offers a manageable footprint and a practical path for someone ready to make it their own. First-time buyers will appreciate the approachable entry into homeownership, and investors will recognize the value-add potential both in the residence and in the second lot. This community in Canton retains a friendly, established feel and is well positioned for long-term upside as the area continues to grow and redefine itself. If you’re seeking a property with history, flexibility, and room for future ideas — with the benefit of city utilities and a location close to both town and mountain recreation — come see what’s possible at 54 Schoolhouse Drive.
