203 & 205 Lime Kiln  Lane, Pisgah Forest
$590,000
1 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 4438851 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status
Amazing, unique property near the Transylvania/Henderson County line offering endless possibilities! Conveniently located so you can bounce between Brevard, Hendersonville, and Asheville, this 4.4-acre tract offers so much more than just an amazing location. It features a pond stocked with fish and borders a beautiful creek for incredible summer days of playing and enjoying your own private piece of heaven. The land catches great sun and has a wonderful atmosphere. On the upper part of the property sit two Green River Log Cabin tiny homes. They offer covered porches, granite countertops, built-in drawers, shower/tub combos, sleeping lofts, and full appliance packages—including dishwashers and stackable washer/dryers. They have been used as long-term rentals for family since 2023, but with minimal storage space, they are probably best suited for the short-term rental market. These homes are not to be compared to standard single-wide or double-wide homes, as they do not follow HUD standards; they are true park model homes that come with RVIA ANSI certification and clean titles. They are on-frame, and while the tongues have been removed, they remain on-site for your use if you ever need to move them. These two homes currently share a 3-bedroom septic system. Under updated rules, another 1-bedroom tiny home could easily be added to that existing system if you choose to maximize the upper homesite. The lower portion of the property borders the creek and lies in the floodplain, which our family has truly enjoyed just as much as the pond—the creek setting may just be the best part! Best of all, this property has a perc approval for an additional 6-bedroom septic system. This creates an incredible opportunity to add more tiny homes on the other side of the pond toward the back of the tract, or even create an amazing boutique venue if you have the vision. Schedule your showing today and see how great it is for yourself! Please do not drive up the driveway without an appointment, as one home is currently occupied. Property is agent owned. Each home is 12X34 (400sq ft.) not including the loft.

$534,000
4439060 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status
You've been waiting for more than 3 years to find this property! And it's so rare you won't see it again anytime soon! Solomon Jones Road, Cedar Mountain Open, rolling pasture with a cold-water trout stream running the full width; you own both sides, and there are no restrictions in sight. This is 7.12 acres in Cedar Mountain that’s already cleared, already green, and ready for whatever you’ve been planning. The land is made up of three contiguous deeded parcels from the same plat, offered together as one tract. Unrestricted use means the decisions are yours. Bring the horses and set the barn and paddocks where the ground suits them. Put in the garden, the orchard, the chickens. Build the home exactly where you’d want to sit and take in the view, because the view here is the kind that stops people mid-sentence. Walker Creek runs along the full width, a clear, cold mountain stream that holds trout. It’s not a big river, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s year-round water on your own land. While the top is slightly wooded, there’s no forest to clear and no guesswork about what you’ve got. The pasture is open and gently rolling, with easy access right off Solomon Jones Road. You can see the whole property from the moment you pull in. Cedar Mountain acreage like this, open and unrestricted with live water, rarely comes to market. Brevard, DuPont State Recreational Forest, Pretty Place, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are all an easy drive, and Greenville, South Carolina, is within reach for the day. Room to ride. Room to grow. Room to breathe. Come walk it.
