lands for sale Buncombe County, United States

A corner lot at the center of one of Asheville's most navigable and in-demand neighborhoods, 11 Westwood Place offers rare flexibility for its next owner. The site sits within a short distance of The Admiral, W.A.L.K. and Harvest Records, placing any future resident inside the established mixed-use fabric of West Asheville rather than adjacent to it, a distinction increasingly valued by those prioritizing accessibility over square footage. For a developer, the opportunity is substantial. Zoned HR2-EXP, the property carries meaningful entitlement momentum for an eight-unit townhome development. The site plan has moved through multiple rounds of formal grading, stormwater and erosion-control review with the City of Asheville's Development Services Department, translating directly into saved time and engineering cost for whoever picks up the project. For a buyer envisioning a single custom home, the same site offers something equally compelling: a flat corner lot in one of West Asheville's most established and appreciating pockets, with 194 feet of combined frontage along Westwood Place and Waynesville Avenue and long-range mountain view potential from upper living levels. It's a rare chance to build a private residence within a short distance of the neighborhood's best restaurants, coffee and record shops on a site with more street presence and buildable flexibility than typical infill lots. Flat, workable topography keeps site prep straightforward regardless of direction and the corner position gives either a multi-unit or single-family design room to maximize light, access and curb appeal. Whether the path forward is an income-producing townhome development or a custom-built single-family home, 11 Westwood Place delivers a navigable West Asheville address, workable topography and mountain-view upside, a combination well suited to developers, builders and individual buyers alike evaluating land near Haywood Road and the West Asheville corridor.
