A private enclave in Fairview offers a rare model for multi-generational living or a strategic income-producing portfolio within the Blue Ridge foothills. Situated at 97 Whippoorwill Lane, this collection of residences dates to 1986 and provides a total of seven bedrooms and five bathrooms across 3,957 square feet of living space. The primary four-bedroom residence features refined details, such as knotty alder cabinetry, while the grounds encompass two additional independent homes and a prepared site with existing well and septic infrastructure. The property is designed for self-sufficiency, featuring heated workshops with professional automotive lifts, RV storage, and mature orchards alongside two established ponds. In a market where privacy and land utility are increasingly prioritized, this estate serves as a versatile compound just minutes from the cultural center of Asheville. Such high-functioning acreage remains a scarce commodity in the current Western North Carolina inventory. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
