BACK ON MARKET THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE PROPERTY, OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY OCT 18 2-4!!! Every house tells a story. This one begins in Asheville’s Riceville Valley, where a quiet gravel lane leads to something increasingly difficult to find in the mountains…three quarters of an acre of open, level, sun filled ground, paired with a thoughtfully designed, energy efficient home. Imagine the possibilities. Grow tomatoes. Plant flowers. Expand the gardens. Let the dog run. Gather friends for dinner under the stars. Or simply sit on the screened front porch and listen to the birds carry on in the trees. Built in 2017 with GreenBuilt NC certification, this Arts and Crafts cottage offers three bedrooms and two baths on one comfortable level. Vaulted ceilings with warm wood T&G, abundant natural light, and an inviting kitchen create living spaces that feel open and connected without unnecessary square footage. Thoughtful construction and energy efficiency contribute to a comfortable, quiet interior, while the home’s manageable footprint leaves more time for living and less for maintaining. Step outside and the story continues. Established garden beds, fruit trees, broad southern exposure, a fenced backyard, private rear deck, and detached garage offer the makings of a little homestead, with plenty of room to cultivate whatever comes next. And while the setting feels decidedly rural, Asheville’s restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences are within easy reach. The Blue Ridge Parkway and miles of mountain trails are just up the road. Another welcome distinction? No city taxes. It’s a place for growing things, gathering people, and enjoying a little more breathing room. What will your story be?
