Across North Carolina’s most compelling corridors—riverfront arts districts, wooded Lake Norman enclaves, downtown-adjacent marinas, and the salt-air ease of Harbour Village—this quintet traces a shared pursuit of privacy, craftsmanship, and setting. A brick River Arts District building with rail-side utility speaks to flexible urban industry, while three custom residences lean into resort-caliber entertaining with pools, docks, gyms, and theater space. Rounding out the collection, a down-to-the-studs Bald Head Island renovation channels modern coastal living with light-filled volumes and thoughtful, turnkey details.

Along Riverside Drive in Asheville, this brick building sits in the N. River Arts District within the Woodfin Zoning District, offering a flexible backdrop for warehouse, mixed storage, and multiple commercial uses. A new roof brings a practical sense of renewal, while additional storage buildings on site expand day-to-day capacity. The property abuts a railroad spur with minimal setbacks—an uncommon edge for operations that value access and efficiency—and the fenced setting adds a clear, contained footprint. For those exploring a longer-term hold with near-term flexibility, the seller will consider lease or lease-purchase terms for the approximately 6,000-square-foot brick building, with details to be negotiated. It’s a utilitarian canvas in a distinct Asheville corridor, ready to support work, storage, and evolving plans.
