Community: Barnardsville in Buncombe County
62+/- acres of prime Barnardsville NC real estate, stretching from a pond area complete with wild orchids up to the peak of Wildcat Knob where the hawks soar! Seller finance is available for qualified buyers! A well maintained private community road wends its way uphill through the parcel, dividing this large tract into three general “neighborhoods” -- ~32+/- acres around the old pond and along a creek to the top of Wildcat Knob, ~21+/- highland acres of stately old oaks and majestic west-facing vistas for epic sunsets, and a lovely grotto area of ~9 +/- acres along Shelton Branch Creek, with additional spring water sources and dramatic rock outcroppings to incorporate into your landscaping. This diverse layout offers plenty of intriguing homesites for extended families, developers, or anyone interested in creating synergy with the nearby native plant gurus and mountain craft experts. Nestled into the famous organic farming and sustainable living community of Barnardsville, this is the ideal place to grow your own healthy food in the rich mountain soil! Whether you are looking to work from home, transplant a small business or to retire and enjoy the finer things in life, why put up with high-stress and high-cost areas elsewhere when you can embrace the peace of mind that these mountains provide? Nearby Asheville NC adds to the allure with world-class restaurants, yoga studios, Ayurvedic and TCM healers, health food stores, and a variety of artists and shops, along with two major hospital chains (one is VA for our honored military retirees). Or make it a daytrip and escape into the nearby Pisgah National Forest to hike, bike or fish the day away! Life is GOOD here.
