The Fairview, NC Real Estate Market

Fairview attracts buyers who want more space, more privacy, and more of a mountain feel than they can get in closer-in Asheville neighborhoods — without sacrificing reasonable access to the city. Properties here tend to sit on larger lots than you'd find in Weaverville or North Asheville, and the terrain gives many homes the kind of long-range views that are genuinely difficult to find at comparable price points elsewhere in Buncombe County.

What surprises a lot of buyers about Fairview is the range. This isn't a one-note market. You may find starter homes for first-time buyers working their way into Buncombe County, established mid-range homes on wooded lots with mountain character, rural properties with acreage, and multi-million dollar estates with the kind of views and privacy that justify you would expect.

This inspiring home and property will astound you! Its 7+ acres (primarily open pasture bordered by native trees and shrubs) with unobstructed mountain views are the heart and soul of a peaceful mountain oasis. The Fairview location affords a sense of privacy, yet quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, I-240, and Asheville services. Fairview's local grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, and quaint retail offerings make it far from secluded. The main-level great room with a cathedral ceiling, soaring stone fireplace, and desirable wood stove is a perfect gathering place for family and friends; the adjoining dining room and large kitchen round out the easy flow of the living space. The main level deck is partially covered and its location just off the great room and dining room will make entertaining a delight. The two main-level bedrooms are steps away from one of the home's best amenities: a huge all-glass solarium with heated in-ground pool and mountain/pasture views. Privacy is assured with the second-level primary suite featuring an en-suite bathroom, exceptional closet space, and a private exterior stairway leading to the garden. On the lower level, a private apartment with a full bath and kitchenette is accessible from the interior stairwell as well as a separate exterior entrance, and it has its own secluded patio. Additionally, the basement has abundant storage and laundry space, ample enough to accommodate a workshop area. The separate 2-car garage is steps away from the main house. Deep enough for a workbench area, it also contains a separate inside storage/work room and adjoining large bay that is ideal for storing lawn and gardening equipment. But there is more! Over the garage is a bright and spacious studio that is waiting for its use as a home office, artist's retreat, home theater--convenient to the main house, yet ideal for maintaining separate privacy. Don't delay making a showing appointment for this warm and inviting property. It is a unique opportunity to own a piece of mountain beauty, boasting views, pasture land, and diverse living spaces--everything that speaks to a peaceful Western North Carolina lifestyle.
