Custom Homes Built for Fairview Living
Fairview is a rural, agricultural community in the scenic Cane Creek valley of Buncombe County, about eleven miles southeast of downtown Asheville along US-74A. It’s pastureland, farms, and legacy properties framed by mountains — a place people choose for privacy, land, and a genuine country feel close to the city.
We build custom homes on the generous acreage parcels that define Fairview, engineered for its valley-and-mountain terrain and rural site conditions.

The Land Around Fairview
At about 2,274 feet, Fairview sits in the wide Cane Creek valley, with rolling pastureland on the floor rising toward mountains like Bearwallow to the east. It’s scenic, largely open land — though Cane Creek and its tributaries create localized floodplain considerations on valley-floor lots.
Where We Build in & Around Fairview
Building Considerations in Buncombe County
Fairview is unincorporated, so Buncombe County permitting and its steep-slope and landslide ordinances apply. Being rural, well and septic are common on acreage parcels — which means budgeting for soil and perc testing — and valley-floor lots near Cane Creek warrant floodplain review. We handle this due diligence up front.
Why Build in Fairview?
Fairview offers something increasingly rare: real acreage and an authentic agricultural-valley lifestyle within about 20–25 minutes of downtown Asheville. For buyers who want land, privacy, and country character without leaving the metro behind, it’s ideal.
Building a Custom Home in Fairview
Can you build a custom home on acreage in Fairview?
Yes — acreage and legacy parcels are exactly what Fairview is known for. We handle well, septic, soil and perc testing, and site planning for rural lots, and confirm requirements with Buncombe County before design.
Do rural Fairview lots use well and septic?
Most do. As a rural valley community, Fairview parcels commonly rely on well and septic rather than public utilities, which is a real design and budget factor we plan for from the start.
How far is Fairview from Asheville?
About 20–25 minutes from downtown Asheville via US-74A, which is a big part of its appeal — country living in the Cane Creek valley, close to the city.
