land for sale asheville: Adventures of a Land Broker - FSBO Mountain View Land Near Asheville - 08/09/11 03:50 PM
Mountain View "Land For Sale 43 Acres! " read the FSBO (owner's) hand-painted sign tacked to the fencepost next to the property my client and I had come here to see. We looked at each other. "Should we?" we asked in unison. "Seems like we outta'... " And so we stopped in our tracks on that country road.... I'm still recovering from my broken shoulder, so my client had to steer as we backed up... carefully. Just then, who should arrive at that very FSBO Land for sale sign but a man whose blue eyes you could see twinkling from across the (11 comments)
land for sale asheville: Investing in Eco-Friendly Land Purchases -Asheville Style - 06/21/11 12:04 PM
Asheville Real Estate Journal An eco-minded client once asked me, "Why would I choose to buy acreage?" Good question! "Land has intrinsic value," I answered. A lengthy discussion of the financial benefits of the environmentally-sensitive land purchase, and the delights of eco-friendly land planning and use followed. Even though I love the land, my response was not biased. Land is synonymous with natural, social, and economic capital. In terms of the law of supply and demand, think of it, there is only so muchland. Land in our bioregion is appreciating rapidly. And whether it is a large rural tract, or (6 comments)

With Asheville's many welcoming settings, things to do and see, cultural amenities, and wonderful locally-grown and harvested organic food, it is easy to see why Asheville is on so many Top 10 Lists.

land for sale asheville: Caveats and Steep Slopes- Asheville - 12/12/10 02:46 PM
Asheville real estate is in high demand. Building sites can be breathtakingly beautiful here in the Asheville area mountains. (see photo) But there are some caveats. And buyers can benefit from sitting down with an informed local real estate expert when planning to build on the slopes surrounding Asheville. Take, for example, the case of the Texas Buyer who back in 2007, invested in a 2 AC parcel just north of Asheville without such counsel. This glorious south-facing building site with incredible views of the valley below within 7 minutes of downtown Asheville and all of Asheville's notable amenities, simply (12 comments)

land for sale asheville: Land For Sale by Owner Asheville - 05/22/10 05:53 PM
"Land For Sale Asheville Just 20 Minutes" read the FSBO (owner's) sign on the side of the road. I skidded to a stop. Pulled over to the side. Backed up... carefully. Scouting the Asheville mountain area for land for sale is always an adventure, especially if it is mountain land for sale by owner, although it is not always fruitful. This time, I felt a "nudge." Over the years, I have learned to pay attention to such things. If you have ever walked land that simply "speaks" to you, you will know what I mean.

land for sale asheville: Land for Sale Asheville - 12/30/09 07:18 PM
Land for Sale Asheville (series) We ventured out in search of unique LAND for sale between snow storms this week- our objective: to find retreat-like settings for families. That translates to abundant water sources (possibly a swimming pond, streams for trout fishing, and waterfalls for inspiration) trails for hiking, meadows and sunny places for gardens and a community meeting place. An ideal community might have only 19 or 20 homesites on good-sized (3+acre) lots and be carved thoughtfully into a larger parcel-say of 250 acres or so that could not be developed and would stay forever wild. The protected land would (0 comments)
land for sale asheville: Land For Sale By Owner- Finding the "Right" Acreage- (2) - 12/29/09 08:43 PM
Following up on my earlier post, Land For Sale By Owner- Finding the "Right" Acreage, a few more thoughts . . . Over the years I have discovered that "the thing" about finding the "right " acreage is that those seeking LAND tend to be quite particular. I wonder , given this, how the seeker of land is to find such acreage --especially if it is in the Land For Sale By Owner category-- without the help of someone (a local expert and land broker) who really knows that land- In fact, I ask myself this question time and again . I receive requests (8 comments)

Hunting for land on which to build that offers you a sense of place in the mountains takes time and effort.
