I am looking for a lot of inexpensive land within an hour of Asheville. I have looked into some surrounding areas like Hickory, Columbus and Waynesville, but it seems as if all these areas are pretty expensive as well. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Try north Madison County, out in the country. Mars Hill is up there and it's about 30 minutes to Asheville. You'd probably want to get outside of Mars Hill for cheaper land, and a little further north of the town. It's up towards the Tenn border along I26.
Just be careful about getting too far off the beaten path up there. Some real rural areas of Madison County still have some long term but not rich people straight piping into the streams.
I second Madison County. It's still in the Asheville metro area, but far enough away it'd be afordable. As a matter of fact, if I were to live anywhere else, it would be the Mars Hill area; close to Asheville, affordable, beautiful. Good luck!!
A little farther, but not bad. Marshall's about 10 miles from the Hwy. 23/70 freeway that leads to Asheville, where Mars Hill's right on it. Time-wise, not exactly sure. Mapquest.com would be a great help to you there. But if you're getting a good price for your property, it'd probably be worth traveling a few extra miles from time to time. Just be careful about "cheap" land.
I am living in Alleghany County right now, and I can live off of about 12grand a year. Almost no one around here is making more than 80grands a year. I'm only making 75, and I'm living well off.
