This beautiful homesite offers excellent southern exposure and a private, forested backyard bordering the Blue Mind trail system, providing direct access to miles of community hiking trails. The homesite is also adjacent to a riverside park easement, creating the feeling of an expanded virtual backyard with additional privacy and protected green space. Seasonal river views are possible, and the gentle sound of the French Broad River can be heard from the property. Just 6.9 miles to downtown Asheville, the Olivette agrihood is a 411-acre planned community featuring a riverfront park along the French Broad River. The heart of Olivette is a fully operational 4-season organic farm offering a CSA, farm stand, tailgate markets, and other farm-centric activities. Connections to food, nature, community, and the arts are essential concepts of our design. Residents enjoy access to miles of hiking trails, community gardens, orchards, a large private river island with pavilion and fireplace, fire circle amphitheater, suspended bridge to a private island, walking labyrinth, and dog park. Community infrastructure includes fiberoptic cable, underground utilities, city water and sewer, and state-maintained roads. Buyers may choose their builder, subject to architectural review guidelines (geothermal heating and cooling and a HERS score of 55 or better required). We encourage additional green building practices such as passive and active solar design.
