Asheville Homes on the Land For Sale
Asheville Real Estate Journal
Western North Carolina’s first settlers helped to shape the farms, farming and settlement patterns of the Asheville 
Appalachian mountain region that people in the Carolinas carry on to this day, as detailed in Parts 1 and 2 of this series. After reading the previous posts, you may find that you are curious about the
availability of sustainable farms and farmland real estate in the Asheville area…especially sincea few of your favorite photos in the slideshow may depict farms and farmland for sale within easy driving distance of Asheville.
What to Expect: Look for undisturbed (natural) landscapes with coves and ranges from level to rolling to hilly to mountainous with exceptional views. Expect streams on these acreages. Some farms and farmland offer improvements such as fencing and barns.
You may even be so lucky as to find farms and land with an old (sustainable) barn made of American Chestnut!!
This is an uncommon expectation as, sadly, that hardwood timber tree is susceptible to chestnut blight. According to Wikipedia, “ … 25 percent of the trees in the Appalachian Mountains were American Chestnut. The number of large surviving American Chestnut trees over 60 centimeters (24 in) in diameter within the tree's former range is [now] probably fewer than 100.”
When relocating to Asheville be sure to see a fine old chestnut barn…In the meantime, here is a bit of information on farms and farmland for sale as seen in the slideshow.
