This is a photo taken off Parker Cove Rd which is 3 miles down Reems Creek Rd.  They stock the creek several times a year with trout and there are some great fishing spots.  We are very near completion of the second Healthy Built home in Pathwood which is located about  1/2 mile down Parker Cove.  Come check out the peaceful private setting, the eco features and for the gardener, the garden is planted.  $319,900 MLS#439100 Realtors.. If you have a client in this price range...show them this property .....much attention to detail! KC and I live down the street and someone is usually around, just call us at 712-4600

Western North Carolina Healthy Built Homes program We are currently building 5 homes in the Reems Creek area of Asheville and are enrolled in the Healthy Built Homes program.  We sold the first home before it finished and were very pleased with the procedure.  We have built 27 homes in the area and working with the Healthy Built homes program, we now build a better and tighter house that is energy effecient.  The second house is very close to completion and is now in MLS.  Preview Here

My last two blogs were about a seller of 52 acreshere in the Asheville real estate trying to sustainably develop his property without having to sell to a buyer who wants to do a traditional development of singe family homes with 4 homes on an acre lot. Bill, the owner has created several different options of how the land might be used as a green development, but as I indicated my boss Janeanne and I did present him with one other option and that was to create an Eco-Village or Conservation Subdivision on his property. Bill has studied these type of development concepts over the years but  is somewhat hesitant to create an Ecovillage plan because there are so many potential variations of this design that someone would like. His initial strategy is to let potential investors decide what ...

 The first part of this blog  began with my finding some very beautiful property in the Asheville, North Carolina real estate market for clients who are looking to build a green, dog friendly community. The owner, Bill, very much wants a conservation subdivision on it,  but has  serious cash flow problems and is facing having to sell to traditional developers who will build homes on quarter acre lots. To make matters worse, Bill and his wife, their children and families all live on property adjoining the land that is for sale, so their view-shed and neighborhood will be directly affected by any development that occurs on the land.  So Bill is effecting stalling the potential traditional developer while he and I start to think of other potential ways the land could be used.  One scenario...

It all started out innocently enough. I had some clients that were looking to build  a green conservation development that would also be very dog friendly. These buyers were interested in obtaining a piece of property of at least 20+ acres fairly close to downtown Asheville owned by a seller willing to do some owner financing.  I found a very nice 29+ acres in the town of Weaverville located only 15 minutes from downtown that bordered an existing 52 acre, 50 lot green subdivision, meaning all homes there would be built to Healthy Built Home standards( not crazy about the density of this subdivision, but more on that later). Asking is price 1.9 million. The land is rolling with two distinct knolls that have great views to the east, south, and west. In addition, the seller also owned the ...
