Lots and acreage enjoy a special position in the real estate investment market, especially in Asheville NC where our clients have a vested interest in maintaining quality of life in the mountains. More and more we 
are seeing thoughtful development where homes on the land, such as this horse property in Asheville (see photo of FSBO) take into account eco-friendly features.
That vested interest contributes to the viability of the market.as demonstrated by the increasing demand for value-added, sustainable properties such as NC HealthyBuilt ® Homes that are being built on lots and large parcels of land in our area. .
For example, more and more investors are choosing "eco- communities"- looking at eco-developments and private land trusts not only for their economic investment potential, but for their value in terms of social and natural capital.

janeAnne, Your community is wonderful for building and thinking that way. It's strange that it seems more popular in the City then it does here on Long Island. I'm not sure why but most places are not building "green" or leaving enough of what little land we have left.
janeAnne, great information and resources. What we take care of and preserve today will be there tomorrow for others to enjoy. I'm so glad "Green" is gaining the importance it deserves!
JaneAnne know ledge is key to maintaining a balance . In my area preservation is big, my town have spent money buying development rights to maintain open space.
