Why Live in Barnardsville
Barnardsville is a western North Carolina destination nestled amid the Blue Ridge Mountains about 20 miles from Asheville. This sparsely populated community of around 500 is not exactly a one-horse town – it has a post office, a fire department and a well-rated elementary school – but it does offer a peaceful country setting. Residents have demonstrated their small-town spirit in the wake of major flooding and mudslides from Hurricane Helene in late September 2024. “They were hammered by the hurricane,” says Marie Reed, a former resident who now works for Keller Williams Professionals Realty. “We did volunteer work out there, and a lot of people affiliated with my church are still helping to rebuild the community.” The community offers a diverse mix of housing options, and the one thing they have in common is space. Even homes that are built closer together in the heart of town offer spacious lots. More common, however, are acreage homes along country roads spread out among the community’s farmland. Mountain views are a common feature. Several homes offer extra seclusion on wooden lots set far back from the road. Prices vary widely, as options range from small, older homes to
