Property Description

Priced to Sell! A rare chance to buy a prime, build-ready lot inside Asheville city limits with access to public water/sewer. Lots in this location rarely come available under $100,000. The parcel at 177 Moody Ave is a cleared .30 acre lot with gentle, buildable topography, ready for development, which saves you real time and money, and a recent survey is already complete, cutting your up front cost and shortening the path to permit. The lot is ideal for a two story vertical home on a smaller footprint (see attached survey with estimated building envelope). A second story also takes best advantage of the potential long range mountain views. Public water meter at the street, and the seller will provide a recorded easement at or before closing for access to the public sewer manhole on the adjoining parcel. Tap fees required for both. This is a flag lot, so City of Asheville ordinance #5126 caps the home at 1,000 square feet of building footprint and 1,400 square feet of gross floor area. Covered porches and decks fall outside both caps per the city planning director, so the home lives considerably larger than those numbers suggest, and the buildable area holds far more than the ordinance allows. Other than that ordinance there is no HOA and no known restrictions, so you design and build to your own specifications. The property shares a private driveway with the adjoining .39 acre Lot A (MLS# 4442343), and the renovated home at 181 Moody Ave (MLS# 4428297) is also available. Buy one, buy two, or take all three and build your own small rental or family compound. Live in the house while you build the other two, or hold the whole assemblage and let a builder finish it out. Location is hard to beat in a part of town that keeps growing. You are 15 minutes from the culture, food and amenities of downtown Asheville, and one mile from the Buncombe County Sports Park and the proposed Costco with an estimated spring 2028 opening. End user, investor looking for a profitable build, or builder lining up the next project, this one fits. Buyer to verify all information, dimensions, utility availability, uses and development potential. Owner/list agent.
