The Alexandra Angle at 114 Old State Ten Road, Black Mountain NC

by | Jul 25, 2026

The real value isn’t simply in the house.

It’s in what this property can become.

In today’s market, flexibility has become one of real estate’s most valuable assets. While many properties limit your options, 114 Old State 10 Road invites creativity.

Imagine…

  • Boutique professional office
  • Attorney or CPA practice
  • Design or architecture studio
  • Wellness or counseling office
  • Small retail concept
  • Artist workshop
  • Live-work headquarters
  • Investment renovation
  • Future income-producing opportunity

(Properties and business uses should always be independently verified with the Town of Black Mountain.)

As I often tell my clients:

You can renovate a building. You can’t manufacture a strategic location.

Why Buyers Love Black Mountain

Often called “The Front Porch of Western North Carolina,” Black Mountain has become one of the region’s most beloved small towns.

Its walkable downtown is filled with locally owned restaurants, breweries, galleries, coffee shops, boutiques, live music, and year-round community events. Visitors quickly discover that Black Mountain isn’t simply a place to visit, it’s a place people want to stay. 

Residents enjoy:

  • Easy access to Asheville
  • Blue Ridge Parkway adventures
  • Hiking and mountain biking
  • Montreat recreation
  • Local breweries
  • Community festivals
  • Strong small-business culture
  • A welcoming entrepreneurial spirit

A Community That Supports Small Business

One of Black Mountain’s greatest strengths is its thriving independent business community.

Downtown is known for locally owned specialty retailers, art galleries, restaurants, outfitters, furniture stores, and professional services that create an authentic small-town experience unlike many mountain destinations. 

For someone looking to establish a business presence while enjoying mountain living, opportunities like this have become increasingly rare.

The House of Carpets Legacy

Longtime residents will recognize this location for its connection to House of Carpets, a homeowner and local carpet installer who served the Black Mountain community for many years.

Properties with recognizable local history often carry a sense of familiarity and community connection that cannot be recreated. For many buyers, that’s part of the property’s story, a chance to write the next chapter while honoring its past.

Why This Property Stands Out

✔ HB-8 Highway Business zoning (buyer to verify intended use)

✔ Excellent visibility and accessibility

✔ Minutes to downtown Black Mountain

✔ Convenient access to I-40 and Asheville

✔ Opportunity to renovate, reposition, or redevelop

✔ City water and sewer

✔ Increasingly rare price point for commercially zoned property in Black Mountain 

Imagine the Possibilities

Some buyers will see an older home.

Others will see…

  • Their first business headquarters.
  • A boutique office with mountain charm.
  • A creative studio.
  • A consulting practice.
  • A long-term investment.
  • A property positioned in one of Western North Carolina’s strongest lifestyle markets.
