Avery Creek is an area of Arden (South Asheville). If you like being close to shopping, this area has the Asheville Outlets and Biltmore Park right around the corner.

Interested in getting outside for some hiking and nature experiences? You’re also close to Bent Creek Park, the NC Arboretum, and Lake Julian Park (which also has a playground, boats, and disc golf!)

While Biltmore Park definitely has a wide array of food options, including South Asheville locations of several Asheville favorites – Nine Mile, Luella’s BBQ, and Thirsty Monk, our favorite in the area is Ivory Road Cafe + Kitchen.

Back to Property List
Bright, spacious, and immaculately maintained, this South Asheville home offers a rare combination: room to spread out, and the flexibility to reconfigure that space as life changes. Updates throughout the home make it move-in ready, while the layout does something most five-bedroom homes can’t — it gives every generation its own space without anyone feeling on top of each other. The main floor holds the primary suite, kitchen, formal dining, and living space for gathering - filled with natural light from oversized windows that frame the private, wooded 1.07-acre lot. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a bonus room/office round out the sleeping quarters. Downstairs is where this home sets itself apart: a fully independent lower level with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, bonus space, and separate interior and exterior access — ideal for multigenerational living, guests, a home office, or whatever comes next. Each of the three floors is independently zoned for heating and cooling. Outside, mature landscaping, a level fenced yard, and private creek access extend the living space well beyond the walls. At roughly 4,122 square feet, the home strikes the balance buyers are increasingly hard-pressed to find: substantial without feeling cavernous, private without feeling remote. The location backs that up. The North Carolina Arboretum, French Broad River access, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are all about two miles away, with Bent Creek and Biltmore Park just minutes further — and easy I-26 access puts the rest of Asheville within reach. Ashley Woods Neighborhood rounds it out with the feel of an established South Asheville-adjacent community: generous wooded lots, a neighborhood park, playground, pavilion with fire pit, and a large level field — all without the HOA fees that usually come with it. Simply put, this home checks every box.
