Discover one of Olivette's most inviting homesites. This 0.63-acre wooded corner lot is nestled in the heart of River Crest, one of Olivette's most established neighborhoods, and offers sunny southern exposure, a gently sloping, easy-to-build homesite, and winter mountain views with the potential for year-round views through selective clearing. Whether you're ready to build your dream home now or simply secure your place for the future, there is no required timeframe to begin construction, giving you the flexibility to build on your schedule.
Located just 6.9 miles from vibrant downtown Asheville, Olivette Riverside Community & Farm is a 411-acre conservation community and nationally recognized agrihood nestled along the French Broad River. Designed around connections to food, nature, neighbors, and the arts, Olivette offers a lifestyle unlike any other in Western North Carolina.
At the heart of the community is a thriving four-season certified organic farm offering a CSA, farm stand, seasonal events, educational programming, and opportunities to connect with the land. Residents enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including a private riverfront park with a pavilion and stone fireplace, fire circle amphitheater, community gardens, orchards, miles of hiking and biking trails, a walking labyrinth, dog park, and acres of permanently protected open space.
Modern infrastructure includes fiber-optic internet, underground utilities, city water and septic, and state-maintained roads—bringing today's conveniences to an extraordinary natural setting.
With only a limited number of homesites remaining in this established riverfront agrihood, this is a rare opportunity to build in one of Asheville's most distinctive communities. If you've been searching for an Asheville luxury homesite offering privacy, mountain views, thoughtful community design, and the freedom to build on your own timeline, this exceptional property invites you to create not just a home, but a way of life.
"Tucked along the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina, lies the neighborhood of our dreams. From the lush open spaces to the picturesque homes to the working farm, Olivette Riverside Community and Farm is full of local food, charm, and community." — Martha Stewart Living
