ReGen Village | A new neighborhood that will grow its own food, power itself, and handle its own waste. As always, our friends in this part of Europe set the tone for the future in terms of design and lifestyle. This neighborhood will be the first ReGen Village, a new type of community designed to be fully self-sufficient, growing its own food, making its own energy, and handling its own waste in a closed loop.

Our Asheville home market offers many housing options, but we don't have everything at all times and currently inventory is low. Kelly and I are the tip of the iceberg to a larger team of resources to help you buy, remodel or build your tailored and edited nest here in the mountains. Whether it's scouting out the illusive architectural designed home, a retro ranch to remake or industrial loft or condo — we can help!
Below are three properties currently on the market that Kelly and I feel offer potential to "Make Your Modern" lifestyle in the mountains. Want more? Ask us!
Built in 1964 | Design by J. Bertram King and Charles M. Sapenfield
The construction of the Warren Wilson Presbyterian Church and College Chapel was made possible by a matching gift from an anonymous donation and contributions from friends of the college, church members and alumni. Local materials were used as much as possible. Stone was hauled from nearby Bee Tree Valley by student work crews and the walnut wood for the cross in the chancel came from the college forest. The cross was designed and made by Hardy Davidson, a neighbor and Farm School alumnus. The design of the structure points upward and the many triangles are used to represent the trinity. In 1968 the North Carolina Institute of Architects gave J. Bertram King Architects an honorary award for the design.

Yesterday, I was invited to tour Biz611 in Hendersonville with Architect Ken Gaylord, a fellow AIA member. It is a newly opened office building in downtown Hendersonville that was designed to house selected, start up technical companies. The owner/developer of this small office building was very focused on green design and that it be evident throughout the building. Ken and his team were brought in to make his vision reality in this industrialized modern construction.The facade was veneered with bricks retained from buildings torn down from the site. Also, it incorporates living walls with plants as shown above. The South wall incorporates a shade structure that simultaneously harnesses solar energy. The interior consisted of recycled walls from a bank in Charleston along with reclaimed glass, wood and even railings used to cover water retention areas externally.

Price: $325,000Size: 2490 sqftAmenities: 5 Beds + 3 Baths + Double Lot Kelly and I toured this property built in 1976 along with 46 Audubon Dr. this morning. The house felt like a modern vacation cabin given the considerable use of wood beams, ceiling and walls. Overall, the house had a great connection to the wooded lot surrounding it with decks on all levels. The main level living space had a retro circular stone fireplace along with another wall fireplace on the lower level. There are currently no other photos published at this time, but I will update as they become available.Here is how the listing agent describes it, "Great North Asheville treehouse situated on a double lot on a cul-de-sac. Nestled among the trees and mountains, 5 Bedrooms & 3 Baths with amazing winter views that could be opened up year round. Walls of windows throughout the house brings the outdoors in. 2 Story Great room with fireplace opens to updated kitchen with granite and new appliances, Master with private deck, Many updates include hickory floors, new zoned HVAC '10 and much more." It you want more information or a tour of this home feel free to give Kelly or myself a call.
