Rare opportunity to own 25.82 acres in Fairview with mountain views, privacy, and an existing homesite already in place. Located at 214 Ballard Creek Road, this property offers a strong starting point for someone looking to build a private estate, mountain retreat, or investment property in one of the Asheville area’s most desirable communities. The land features a mix of wooded terrain, natural beauty, and elevated areas positioned to take advantage of the surrounding views. An existing structure remains on the property; however, the home is considered non-habitable and will require removal, making this an ideal setup for buyers planning new construction while benefiting from an established homesite location. Conveniently located just a short drive from Asheville, Fairview is known for its blend of rural character, scenic farmland, and easy access to restaurants, shopping, hiking, and outdoor recreation. Large acreage tracts in this area are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you’re looking to build now or hold for the future, 214 Ballard Creek Road offers space, views, and potential in a highly sought-after Western North Carolina location.
