Here you can have what everyone wants – a private mountain home that is only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville! This large lot in the exclusive Crest Mountain neighborhood is your blank slate - prepped and ready to go for building. Pre-clearing and initial grading was done and underground utilities including electric, high-speed internet, natural gas, city water, and city sewer are ready for connection- no guesswork on septic or a well! The architect the sellers consulted said it is a good and relatively easy building lot due to the natural shelf in the middle (see attached topo survey). Building plans included with an acceptable offer. Current winter view and likely year-round view once a home is built and even better once other lots are cleared for building. See link for videos showing potential views. The community is gated and the lot is on a cul-de-sac where no other homes have been built so quiet and privacy are outstanding. No scary, steep roads and it is paved all the way to the lot! Trivia question: who was Ben Lippen? Answer: it's actually not a who but a what - Ben Lippen is a Scottish phrase meaning "Mountain of Trust" and was indeed the name given to a school that was in the area in the 1940s.

Is this the most interesting property available in Asheville? Even without the eclectic furnishings (some of which are available), the unique and versatile layout is flexible for a variety of uses: single-family, multifamily, rental, live/work, artist studio, retail/commercial, or a mix. Zoning is the rare and coveted Neighborhood Business. So many extraordinary touches and endless customizations make it special, showing the high quality and thoughtful design. The studio apartment is being left fully furnished/turnkey and has been a reliable rental at $1700+ per month. Second floor living area has been rented for $2500+ per month. The first floor live/work space has been rented for $1500+ per month. Amazing location in a friendly neighborhood in between Charlotte St and Merrimon Ave and just a mile to downtown. 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3 kitchens, plus a bonus loft at the top which is a favorite spot! City verbally confirmed homestay short term rental STR possibility with two of the units with minor modifications if you live onsite. Sellers explored connecting the first and second floors to make it a more traditional two-story home but preferred the current layout so that hasn't been done but is possible according to the sellers and the City. It is well built and well-maintained. Check out the 3-D walk-through to get a sense of the layout and efficient design. Sellers are willing to consider owner financing - make an offer!
