About This Property
Property is being sold strictly "AS IS" due to its current condition. According to the fire department, the property has been identified as dangerous and a fire hazard. The structure is vacant, boarded up, and no access will be provided under any circumstances without prior written authorization.
For safety and liability reasons, no one is permitted to enter or attempt to access the property unless a signed Hold Harmless Agreement is completed in advance. This agreement must release and hold harmless the listing real estate firm, listing agent, and property owners from any liability related to the property's condition or any attempted access. Unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited.
The property may require significant repairs, rehabilitation, or possible redevelopment, and buyers are encouraged to perform all due diligence from outside the structure and through available public records, zoning information, inspections where permitted, and consultation with qualified professionals. Buyers should verify all information important to their intended use, including condition, code requirements, permitting, utilities, zoning, and potential redevelopment options.
Despite the property's current condition, it is located in a desirable and growing neighborhood within walking distance to downtown Asheville and many local amenities. The location offers convenient access to shops, restaurants, employment centers, public transportation, and the continued growth and revitalization of the surrounding area.
This is a unique opportunity for an investor, builder, or experienced buyer looking for a project in a highly convenient Asheville location. Due to the safety concerns and restricted access, the property is best suited for buyers who understand the risks and requirements associated with distressed or hazardous properties.
