67 Shawnee Trail-A Rare Offering of Scale, Infrastructure, and Possibility Positioned between Tunnel Road and I-240, and adjacent to the established residential community of Redwood Forest, 67 Shawnee Trail presents a unique convergence of location, scale, and opportunity within Asheville’s evolving landscape. Spanning approximately 8.87 acres, the property is zoned R4, offering meaningful flexibility for future development or a thoughtfully designed private estate. Its setting provides both accessibility and a sense of separation—close to the energy and convenience of the city, yet quietly set apart within its own natural surroundings. An existing two-bedroom, one-bath residence, complete with heating and air, offers immediate functionality—whether used as a primary residence, guest quarters, or a base during future planning and development. The property is further supported by city water and access to sewer, creating a strong foundation for long-term vision and expansion. The property is ideally positioned near the highly desirable areas of Haw Creek, Swannanoa, and North Asheville. Large, developable tracts of this size are increasingly scarce within city limits, making this a compelling opportunity for builders, developers, or investors seeking scale, infrastructure access, zoned RS4 and a prime urban location. One of the few remaining large parcels available for development within Asheville city limits.
