I'm seeking tenants for a recently renovated 3-bedroom 2-bath
rental house in the Oakley community of Asheville, N.C. It is part of M R Gardens, a 2.5+
acre educational farm/sustainable nursery just two minutes from the I-240 exit
8.

| Stone wall and picket fence surround the rental house |
I'm looking for any reliable renter who will care for this special place. But this residence may be particularly suited for…
*Handy people/carpenters interested in gaining skills in green
building and permaculture techniques;
*Holistic health practitioners wanting to incorporate
therapeutic gardening and herbalism in their practices;
*Aspiring horticulturists hoping to participate in the
production of sustainable plants;
*Beginner gardeners excited about helping transform the
landscape into an edible/native yard;
*Or any others who want to contribute to the evolving vision of
M R Gardens, a resource for edible landscaping and urban homesteaders. I'm open
to your ideas.

The rent is $1,500 a month plus utilities. There are plenty
of opportunities for farm work in exchange for fresh produce, medicinal herbs
and education.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence, with a living room and
extra den, could be turned into a four bedroom. The 1,334-square-foot brick
house sits up on a stone wall platform, which lends beautiful sunset views,
especially in the winter. A spacious kitchen overlooks the mountains and gardens,
and the cozy den has a wood-burning stove insert. Recent renovations include
refinished hardwood floors, new vinyl flooring in one bathroom, new laminate
flooring in the den, newly painted walls, cleaned duct system, new appliances, roof
insulation and new metal roof. Oil or biofuels heat the home. The house has
ample closet space, a back porch with washer/dryer hookups, and a covered patio
overlooking an attractive passive solar greenhouse next door. The renters may
have access to some land and a fire pit. One small pet will be considered. No
dogs over 20 pounds please. The renters shouldn't mind me frequently on the
grounds to redo the landscaping.
Email me (Megan) at gardens@wncmretc.com or call

tell me why you're interested in the house and who would be living with you.
