Land with Home for Sale in Asheville, North Carolina
23 Old Farm School Rd, Asheville, NC 28805
Craftsman opportunity with great bones, unique architectural character, and strong upside in the highly desirable Riceville community - just outside city limits for added flexibility, yet only minutes to the VA and Tunnel Road amenities. Set on just over 2 private, wooded acres, this property offers a peaceful, sun-filled setting with mature hardwoods, a creek, and no HOA. Directly adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway, the setting creates an expanded natural buffer, enhanced privacy, and immediate access to trails and outdoor recreation - a rare lifestyle opportunity just minutes from town. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with comfortable one-level living and spacious rooms, and distinctive architectural details that add warmth and character. A full unfinished basement (~1,769 SF +/-) provides excellent potential for expansion, fitness room, workshop, studio space, or storage. While the home would benefit from updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, it is fully livable as-is - offering flexibility for buyers to renovate over time or execute a full value-add project. Dual access from Old Farm School Road and a potential secondary access from Miller Branch Road add additional versatility for future use or investment. Whether you're an investor, renovator, or buyer looking to build equity in a special setting, the combination of location, land, layout, and proximity to the Parkway makes this a compelling opportunity.
