Located in the highly desirable Fairview community just minutes from Asheville, this unique offering combines authentic Appalachian heritage, exceptional craftmanship, flexible use potential, and highly sought-after mountain lifestyle setting.

Potential uses may include a boutique inn, destination lodging property, vacation rental enterprise, executive retreat, wellness retreat, creative arts retreat, educational venue, corporate gathering space, special event destination, or other tourism-related enterprise. The combination of authentic historic construction, mountain ambiance, and proximity to Asheville creates a compelling experience for guests, visitors and clients seeking accommodations and venues with genuine character and regional authenticity. Western North Carolina continues to attract visitors, retirees, second-home owners, entrepreneurs, and investors drawn by the area's naturals beauty, outdoor recreation, cultural amenities, and strong tourism properties possessing authentic historic provenance are increasingly rare, particularly those offering flexibility for income-producing or commercial applications. Opportunities of this nature seldom become available. This property is zoned OU (open use) by Buncombe County.
