Some properties offer a place to build. This one offers a setting worth building around. Lot 10R, known as The Woodland, is tucked at the end of Sunnybrook Drive in Asheville. This 1.185-acre wooded riverfront homesite offers approximately 159 feet of frontage along the Swannanoa River. A mature hardwood canopy and wooded boundary create an uncommon sense of privacy. Walk beneath the trees toward the river and the appeal is immediate—the sound of moving water, filtered light through the hardwoods, and a landscape that already feels established. The setting feels removed, yet the property is conveniently located for enjoying both Asheville and Black Mountain. It is a rare combination: meaningful Swannanoa River frontage, river views, and a natural wooded setting without giving up convenient access to the restaurants, culture, and everyday amenities of Western North Carolina. Much of the uncertainty that can come with buying mountain land has already been addressed. The property has an approved 4-bedroom septic permit, verified city water availability, and buildable area outside the mapped floodplain. There is no HOA, with limited deed restrictions intended to protect the character of the property. The house can be designed. The land cannot be recreated.

602 Hidden Springs Drive sits on 1.35 acres in North Asheville, screened by mature hardwoods that keep the house and yard shaded and private — a rare commodity this close to town! A creek runs the length of the front yard, providing natural sound and habitat for the front porch which is elevated and sits at canopy level among the trees, catching the cross-breezes in the warmer months. At the back of the house, a screened porch looks out over the wooded slope behind the property; birds are active in the yard year-round, and the sound carries into the porch through the screens. A multi-level deck steps down from the porch, with a pergola shading part of the outdoor space which features a stunning Japanese maple tree . Inside, the home has three spacious bedrooms and three and a half baths across roughly 3,100 square feet. The primary suite is on the main level, along with the principal living and dining spaces, which have vaulted ceilings and remote controlled fireplaces. The lower level is fully finished and walks out to the yard — it's currently flexible space, suited to guests, a home office, a media or rec room. The house has had a substantial round of updates: popcorn ceilings removed throughout, hardwood floors refinished, fresh neutral paint, new carpet, a new hot water heater, new landscaping, SmartCore Ultra flooring in the lower level, and the decks refinished. The combined effect is a house that shows well without having been over-renovated — original woodwork, layout, and character are still intact. Practical features include a two-car garage, a walkout basement with a large amount of conditioned (heated/cooled) storage not included in the square footage, and no HOA. Despite the wooded, set-back feel of the lot, the property is a short drive from North Asheville and Weaverville — both with restaurants, shops, and highway access — and from downtown Asheville itself.
