Country living

A valley of working farms and family land

Fairview sits fifteen minutes from downtown Asheville, but the pace is entirely its own — pasture, creek bottoms and ridgelines, with generations of family history behind many of the farms you pass on Cane Creek Road.

Local business

Eat, shop & gather

Restaurants, mercantiles, creameries, farms and taprooms — nearly everything you need without leaving Fairview.

After hours

Neighborhood taprooms, not tourist stops

Turgua, Whistlehop and Hickory Nut Gorge draw the same faces week after week. It's the kind of place where a pint turns into a conversation with the neighbor you've been meaning to meet.
