A rare opportunity to own 13.83 acres adjoining permanently preserved land protected by a Conservation Easement, offering privacy, natural beauty, and a remarkable setting just approximately 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville. Located in the desirable Cane Creek area of Fairview/Fletcher, this property provides convenient access to Highway 74A, Hendersonville Road, Asheville Regional Airport, shopping, dining, hiking, and everyday amenities while maintaining a peaceful mountain setting. Enter through pastoral pastureland and rolling, south-facing terrain before climbing toward the ridge, where the property offers beautiful long-range mountain and valley views to the northeast and south toward Bob Barnwell Valley. Existing logging trails have been maintained throughout portions of the property, providing access for walking and exploring. Previous soil evaluation and perc testing were completed. The land has a rich history dating back generations. Evidence of an old wagon road dating to the 1800s can still be found, along with pathways created during logging operations in the early 1960s and again during a professionally managed select timber harvest in 2005. Remnants of exceptionally large American Chestnut trees, believed to have been harvested in the 1920s, remain on the property and provide a fascinating connection to Western North Carolina’s mountain heritage. This acreage was intentionally separated from a larger tract while the surrounding property was placed under conservation protection. The result is an exceptional homesite surrounded by land where future development is significantly restricted. The south-facing orientation offers an ideal opportunity to design an energy-efficient mountain home that complements the natural terrain. The property has benefited from decades of thoughtful forestry and land stewardship. White pine seedlings were planted beginning in the 1970s, followed by professionally managed forestry practices and continued monitoring. Conservation efforts on the adjoining property have included rotational grazing improvements, invasive-species management, controlled burning, pond restoration, and ongoing forestry work. Following Hurricane Helene, additional cleanup and forest restoration efforts were undertaken throughout the surrounding property. With a combination of pastureland, woods, ridge-top views, established trails, conservation-minded surroundings, and convenient access to Asheville, this is an increasingly difficult type of property to find in Buncombe County. Build your mountain dream home, create a private retreat, and enjoy the security of knowing much of the surrounding land has been preserved from future development.
