Two Designer Container Homes — Pearl & Onyx on ~1.92 Acres
Pearl and Onyx — two impeccably finished container tiny homes — are offered together on an expansive, private ~1.92-acre parcel just minutes from Asheville. Built in 2021, these designer retreats total roughly 320 sqft and deliver a striking combination of modern finishes, clever space planning, and outdoor living. Each home includes a comfortable queen bedroom, a streamlined kitchen with essential appliances, a full bath, and a private bedroom deck — ideal for a morning cup of coffee or an evening under the stars. Large shared decks and lawn areas amplify the sense of space and create instant guest appeal.
The compound was conceived for low-maintenance living and high-appeal short-term stays. Durable container construction and contemporary materials keep upkeep minimal while architectural touches and thoughtful interiors make each unit memorable for guests. The parcel’s size provides practical advantages uncommon for tiny-home offerings: plenty of parking, privacy buffers, and room to add amenities (hot tub, firepit, additional guest pads) subject to permitting.
Location is a major asset. You’re a short drive from Asheville’s celebrated food and brewery scene, The NC Arboretum, and Blue Ridge Parkway access — a magnet for visitors year-round. This flexibility makes the property attractive to investors seeking short-term rental revenue, buyers wanting a live-in-one/rent-the-other arrangement, or families assembling a private mountain compound.
Operationally the property is turnkey and uniquely positioned for marketing on short-term rental platforms. Prospective buyers should verify utility connections and Buncombe County regulations for STRs, but the combination of two move-in-ready units, generous land, and proximity to Asheville creates a compelling package. Schedule a showing to experience the distinct character of Pearl & Onyx and explore the multiple revenue and lifestyle paths this rare offering enables.

8 & 10 George Allen Rdg Unit A & B, Arden, NC 28704

The area is known for quiet residential streets, larger lots, and quick routes to breweries, restaurants, and outdoor recreation. Buyers here favor privacy, proximity to mountain trails and scenic drives, and relatively short commutes into Asheville.
Excellent access to outdoor recreation: hiking, Blue Ridge Parkway drives, and The NC Arboretum are all a short drive away, making it an attractive base for nature-focused visitors and residents.
A factual market snapshot around George Allen Rdg.
The Arden / South Asheville corridor remains a strong market driven by lifestyle migration and tourism spillover from Asheville. Median home prices in the broader Asheville MSA have grown moderately over recent years; single-family homes and unique short-term rental products both attract active demand. Inventory near Asheville tends to be tight (low months of supply), especially for turnkey, income-producing properties. For buyers targeting short-term rental returns, nightly rates for well-positioned tiny homes in this market can be strong during peak tourist seasons. Lenders can be selective for non-traditional dwellings, so cash buyers and portfolio investors are common in this niche. Given current trends, this dual-unit tiny-home compound is likely to draw interest from investor-buyer mixes and lifestyle purchasers seeking a low-maintenance mountain retreat.
Likely rural/residential zoning allowing single-family dwellings and accessory structures; short-term rental permitted subject to county/town rules
