Kelly and I brought our Seller/Builder together with one of our Buyer's on this modern, shed style home yesterday prior to breaking ground. Greg McGuffey of Earthtone Builders approached us to market his first spec home. Given the home fit our buyer's needs we were able to bring both parties together early in the process.The 1480 sqft, 3 bedroom and 2 bath home will be a rare one-level, new build home for West Asheville which is what most of our clients are looking for as they age in place over time.

The quality, green home Greg thoughtfully designed is earth friendly, light, airy and low maintenance which will keep it low-cost and sustainable. When completed the home will be Near Net Zero and come with a NC Green Built Gold Certificate.

In detail, it will feature concrete floors with radiant heat, concrete counters, vaulted ceilings, bonus loft, stainless appliances and fixtures and topped off with a galvanized metal roof and 5Kw grid-tied solar system. It should be a home our client can live easily and lightly in for decades to come.

Follow us along this year as we check in on the building progress with Greg. Cheers!

Retro Ranch Comps

Kelly and I enjoy scouting out simple ranches with those extra details that reflect that rustic side of Asheville or a universal retro look. We may find an asymmetric fireplace wall, exposed beams supporting a vaulted ceiling, vintage wood paneling or natural stonework. No matter the detail they can feel cozy and warm with a touch of cool that reflect the nostalgia of how we grew up. For more general information on Asheville ranch home living please see over a dozen past articles I've written on Ranch Homes. Currently on the market, are three homes shown above that all have that nostalgic, mid-century, ranch feeling. However, what makes these three Asheville homes distinctive is that they are situated on large, private lots with good indoor/outdoor relationships for maximizing that Asheville lifestyle. The visibility and flow to outdoor living creates that expansion needed to breathe free of the typical ranch box. Some of the interiors offer use of wood that helps bring the outdoors in. As typical of ranch homes, all three offer efficient living for those looking to economize and enjoy the broader lifestyle that Asheville has to offer. 672 Pinners Cove is 3 Bed + 2 Bath is privately located on 2.38 acres just east and then south of Asheville close to where I, myself, live. For more photos see here. 143 Buffalo Trail is 3 Bed + 2.5 Baths on 1.04 Acres just east and then North of Asheville. For more photos see here. 11 Pine Tree Rd. is 3 Bed + 2 Baths on .91 acres on one of my favorite North Asheville streets offering privacy and convenience. There is no virtual tour for this property. Kelly and I would love to help you get to know some of the vintage ranch homes here in Asheville that offer the convenience of location to downtown in established and friendly neighborhoods. Thank you, Troy
