A remarkable amount of the groundwork is already in place. This 2-acre homesite in the gated High Hickory community comes with an unusually comprehensive package of planning and pre-construction work, including a professional topographic survey, site planning for a proposed home, a 3-bedroom septic authorization with detailed system design, and private well permitting. Rather than beginning with a raw piece of mountain land and a long list of unknowns, the next owner can begin with meaningful groundwork already in place. Set in a wooded landscape shaped by a mountain creek running through the property, the homesite offers privacy, natural beauty, and a genuine sense of retreat. High Hickory is a low-impact mountain community shaped around conservation, with walking trails, community gardens, and shared gathering spaces, all within easy reach of Asheville and Black Mountain. Bring your architect, your builder, and your own point of view to a homesite where the setting has already done much of the work.

Completely reimagined from the studs out, this beautifully renovated home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, thoughtful updates, and an exciting location in the heart of Swannanoa. Originally configured as a duplex, the home was transformed during a comprehensive 2022 renovation into a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family residence featuring 1,334 square feet of open-concept living. Virtually every major component has been updated, including new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, spray foam insulation, crawl space insulation with vapor barrier, drywall, interior and exterior paint, fixtures, appliances, window blinds, and select replacement windows. The original hardwood floors have been beautifully refinished, while luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed in the kitchen, laundry room, and bathrooms, with new carpet in the primary bedroom and newly created walk-in closet. The stylish kitchen features new cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless appliances, while both bathrooms have been completely refreshed with new vanities, toilets, tile backsplashes, and tub/shower surrounds. Outside, you'll appreciate the updated front porch with new deck boards, new front and rear doors, off-street parking for 2-3 vehicles, and a private backyard complete with an 8-foot privacy fence, newly planted Green Giant privacy trees, and a Honeycrisp apple tree that's expected to begin producing fruit soon with help from a nearby crabapple pollinator. For added peace of mind, the home sustained no flooding or structural damage during Hurricane Helene, with only minor fence damage from a fallen tree in the rear corner of the property. Location is another standout feature. Just minutes from the exciting new Beacon Park and Beacon Bike Park development, scheduled to open in Fall 2026, you'll enjoy access to future community green spaces, a walking track, playground, pavilions, a world-class bike park, bouldering walls, and an event lawn.

This is a property for people who want to actually feel where they live. A private drive winds through 1.4 wooded acres to a home where a babbling creek sets the soundtrack and a horse pasture fills the view from the back deck.

The primary suite is genuinely restful, with a separate sitting area, a large creek-view window, and french door access to the deck. Out back, a detached garage serves double duty as a workshop, with 415 sq ft of attic storage above. Front porch or back deck. Creek or pasture. Morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Here, the choice is always yours. And when you do venture out, everything you need is just down the road. Locally owned businesses like Short Sleeves Coffee, Town Hardware, Okie Dokie's BBQ, Good Company Pizza, Grovemont Public Library & Park, Oven Bird Bakery, Papaw's Place, and a bike park are all within easy reach — the kind of small-town conveniences that make staying close to home feel like a lifestyle, not a compromise.

Exceptional development or estate opportunity in Swannanoa. This offering includes 8.756 acres of gently lying, wooded land, plus an additional .079-acre road right-of-way, parcel B on survey, at the front providing over 100+ feet of road frontage for excellent access (ROW not owned by seller but benefits ingress/egress). Public utilities are nearby, with a 6-inch public water line available to the northern property line along Gibbs Street right-of-way, and there's a 6-inch public sewer line located a short distance from the property. With the extension of water and sewer, preliminary evaluations indicate the potential for approximately 25–30 lots. Current zoning would allow duplex construction of those lots, creating the possibility of 50–60 total units, subject to approvals. The property features multiple small streams, is not located in a designated flood zone, and offers highly buildable topography—a rare combination for a tract of this size. A site development opinion has been completed, and when considering topography, access, and utilities, the property presents strong development potential. Alternatively, the property would make a beautiful private estate, family compound, or long-term investment hold, offering privacy, natural beauty, and convenient proximity to Swannanoa, Black Mountain, and the greater Asheville area. A rare opportunity combining scale, infrastructure access, and zoning flexibility in a rapidly growing market. Zoning, density, and utility availability to be verified by the buyer with Buncombe County, the Town of Swannanoa, and applicable utility providers.
