LAND FOR SALE- Asheville Mountain Land -The LISTING CHECKLIST

As I mentioned in Part 1 of this LAND FOR SALE series -  I saw pure potential in a large acreage, that might have appeared NOT to be in buyer-investor-friendly shape because:

• Most all the acreage (almost 50 acres) was overgrown.. . .

Early Farming Practices in the Carolinas - Alive Today in Asheville !
It makes me smile to think that my ancestors helped to shape the farms, farming and settlement patterns of the southern Appalachian mountain region.  Maybe that's what drives my strong interest in preserving the integrity of our Appalachian farmlands and mountainscapes.
