105 Adams Hill Road · Two Homes, One Lot

Why this one is different

Not a duplex. Not a single home.
Something better than both.

Most buyers walked through and felt confused by the layout. Here's the clarity: this is two separate, free-standing houses sharing one corner lot — each with its own entrance, its own character, its own purpose. That's not a quirk to explain away. It's the entire opportunity.

Both homes on the lot — Two distinct structures · one 0.75-acre parcel

Flexibility most properties simply can't offer.

i
Two front doors, zero shared walls. Real separation — privacy for family, tenants, or guests that a duplex never delivers.
ii
Two income or lifestyle levers. Occupy one and offset your cost with the other, or hold both as flexible space.
iii
Room to grow. A 670 sq ft below-grade level under the farmhouse offers future expansion potential.
iv
Land that holds value. A fenced 0.75-acre corner lot with gardens, just minutes from downtown.

Who it's for

One property. Many ways to win.

However you live and work, there's a version of this property that fits.

01

House Hackers

Live in one home, let the second help carry the mortgage. The classic Asheville play — done with real separation, not a shared wall.

02

Investors

Two rentable structures on a single parcel. Long-term, mid-term, or furnished — diversify your strategy across one purchase.

03

Multigenerational Families

Keep parents, adult children, or guests close with genuine independence. Togetherness without the togetherness fatigue.

04

Remote Workers

One home to live in, one to work from. A dedicated studio, office, or creative space steps from your front door.

05

Creative Entrepreneurs

A maker's studio, gallery, music room, or wellness space — the farmhouse already has the soul for it.

06

Visionary Buyers

See the basement expansion, the garden beds, the corner lot. This is a property to grow into, not out of.

Tour the homes

Two homes, each with its own story.

Walk through both below — modern and efficient, or full of vintage character. Floor plans included for each, so the layout is clear before you ever step inside.

Home One · The Modern ≈658 sq ft · 1 BD / 1 BA · 2 stories · mini-split HVAC

Bright, efficient, and turn-key.

A crisp two-story studio-style home with light-filled living below and a generous bedroom suite above. Updated, low-maintenance, and already proven as a flexible furnished space — the easy, move-in-ready half of the property.

A smart vertical footprint.

Living, kitchen, and dining occupy the main level; the entire upper floor is a private bedroom retreat with its own bath. Compact on land, generous in feel — and instantly legible once you see it drawn out.

Home Two · The Farmhouse ≈743 sq ft + 670 sq ft lower level · 1 BD / 1 BA · wood stove

Character, warmth, and room to grow.

All soul. Reclaimed-wood walls, a cast-iron wood stove, a sunlit studio with a vintage upright piano, and a teal beadboard kitchen with a classic farmhouse sink. Below it: a 670 sq ft lower level full of expansion potential.

The upside lives downstairs.

The main level lives comfortably as a one-bedroom. Beneath it, a 26' × 23' lower-level room plus hall and bonus room — 670 sq ft of below-grade space — is the canvas for a second bed/bath, studio, or income suite. Buyer to verify permitting and use.

Bring your vision.

Solid bones, exposed structure, and natural light already in place. Finish it to expand the farmhouse, add a third bedroom across the property, or create a dedicated studio — equity you build on your own timeline.

The opportunity

Four ways the second home pays off.

Two structures means two levers. Here are the most common strategies buyers consider for a dual-dwelling property like this one.

i

Live + Offset

Make one home your residence and place the other as a long-term rental. A proven way to soften a monthly payment while you build equity across the whole parcel.

ii

Dual Rental Hold

Hold both homes as income property. Two separate structures can attract two separate tenants — diversifying income from a single address and lot.

iii

Furnished / Flexible Stays

The modern home already has a furnished-rental track record. Where permitted, mid-term and furnished stays can open a higher-yield path. Verify local rules first.

iv

Live + Work / Family

Use the second home as a studio, office, or space for parents and adult children — value that shows up in your quality of life rather than a rent check.

Important — illustrative only

The strategies above are general examples of how dual-dwelling properties are commonly used. They are not financial, legal, tax, or rental-income projections, and nothing here is a guarantee of income or permitted use. Short-term and long-term rental rules, zoning, and permitting vary and change. Buyers must independently verify all uses, income potential, square footage, and below-grade/expansion possibilities with the appropriate municipal authorities and their own licensed professionals before relying on them.

The lifestyle

A corner of West Asheville to call your own.

Gardens, a pool tucked under the trees, porches for slow mornings, and room to roam — all behind a fence, all minutes from town.

The location

Minutes from everything that makes Asheville, Asheville.

Tucked just outside the city limits in West Asheville — so you're close to the energy of downtown and the River Arts District, but on a quieter corner lot with no city property tax.

Good questions

The details that matter.

Are these really two separate homes?+

Yes. This is two free-standing, independent structures on one 0.75-acre parcel — each with its own entrance and living space, sold together as a single property. It is not a duplex with a shared wall, and not one home with an attached unit.

Can I rent one or both of the homes?+

Many buyers purchase dual-dwelling properties specifically to live in one and rent the other, or to rent both. Rental rules — especially for short-term and furnished stays — vary by jurisdiction and change over time. Confirm current long-term, mid-term, and short-term rental regulations with the City/County and your agent before counting on any specific use.

What's the story with the basement / lower level?+

The farmhouse sits above a roughly 670 sq ft below-grade level — a large room plus hall and a bonus room — shown on the floor plan as excluded (below-grade) area. It offers real expansion potential for a future bedroom, bath, studio, or suite. Any finished use should be verified for permitting and code compliance.

How is the property taxed and serviced?+

The property sits just outside the Asheville city limits, so it carries no city property tax. It's served by city water and a shared septic system. As with all property details, buyers should independently verify taxes, utilities, and septic specifics during due diligence.

How would financing work on a property like this?+

A two-home parcel can be financed a number of ways depending on how you plan to use it and how it's classified. It's worth an early conversation with a lender experienced in multi-dwelling or owner-occupant-plus-rental scenarios. Your agent can connect you with local lenders who know this kind of property.

Rare by nature

Two-home parcels like this don't come along often — and rarely with this much character and upside.

When the right buyer sees what this property can do, it moves. If any version of this story fits your life or your portfolio, the next step is simple.
