Pearl and Onyx are a rare pairing of modern container homes available in Arden — this listing is for Onyx, an immaculately maintained 1-bedroom, 1-bath container retreat built in 2021. At just 320 square feet the interior is extremely well planned: a comfortable queen bedroom, a full bath with quality finishes, and an efficient galley kitchen equipped with an electric cooktop and oven. The interior is finished with durable vinyl flooring and thoughtfully placed storage to maximize usable space. Ductless heating and cooling keep systems simple and efficient.
What distinguishes this property is its site: sitting on nearly one acre (0.96 acres / ~41,817 sqft), Onyx delivers privacy and room to roam — a rare find for tiny-home buyers who value outdoor living. A spacious main deck extends the living area for entertaining and dining al fresco, while a private bedroom deck off the sleeping area provides a quiet place for morning coffee or evening star-gazing. The lot has cleared areas and gentle hills, letting you choose sunny or shaded outdoor spots.
Offered at $299,000, Onyx is appealing to buyers seeking a low-maintenance mountain retreat a short drive from Asheville’s restaurants, breweries and arts scene. The home’s turnkey condition makes it a compelling short-term rental candidate — the layout, decks, and proximity to outdoor recreation consistently perform well on STR platforms. Utilities include city water and public sewer, and parking is available on a private driveway.
This unit may be purchased individually or, if you’re building an investment portfolio or multi-unit getaway, inquire about the adjacent container home (Pearl) which is offered separately. Whether you want a simple year-round residence, a weekend refuge, or an income-producing escape, Onyx gives you the streamlined living experience with the land and privacy usually associated with larger properties.
