Designed around connections to food, nature, neighbors, and the arts, Olivette offers a lifestyle unlike any other in Western North Carolina.
At the heart of the community is a thriving four-season certified organic farm offering a CSA, farm stand, seasonal events, educational programming, and opportunities to connect with the land. Residents enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including a private riverfront park with a pavilion and stone fireplace, a suspended bridge to a private island, fire circle amphitheater, community gardens, orchards, miles of hiking and biking trails, a walking labyrinth, dog park, and acres of permanently protected open space.
Modern infrastructure includes fiber-optic internet, underground utilities, city water and sewer, and state-maintained roads—bringing today's conveniences to an extraordinary natural setting.
With only a limited number of homesites remaining in this established riverfront agrihood, this is a rare opportunity to build in one of Asheville's most distinctive communities. If you've been searching for an Asheville luxury homesite offering a serene wooded setting, excellent natural light, easy buildability, thoughtful community design, and the freedom to build on your own timeline, this Bee Balm Way property offers an exceptional place to create not just a home, but a way of life.
