Picturesque mountain estate with endless potential – 20 minutes from Asheville. Nestled in a serene, Southwestern-facing cove, panoramic views of mountain peaks and ridges, framed by green meadows and bold rivers stretch out before you. Sleepy Barnardsville lies just outside of Asheville and hosts a variety of local craftsmen and artists, while retaining its grass-roots heritage.

Once a working farm, this estate is comprised of rich fertile soil, functioning barns and natural water sources that lend themselves easily to mini-farm idea/development. Sold in 5-10 acre plats, home buyers could experience life “off the grid”, complete with farmable acreage, room for the horses, barns, workshop, and, of course, high-end lodge and events committee.

Sustainable living and green construction are the buzz words of the 21 century. With an unobstructed South-Western Exposure, passive solar heat along with solar panels, could easily be utilized to support an entire community at the Williams Branch Estate. With elevation close to 4000 ft, wind power could be an option. Likewise, water power along the Big Ivy River would definitely be a viable option.
