Community type: An RV park or resort that welcomes tiny homes on wheels and park models on long-term or seasonal sites.

Turkey Creek Oasis is a small rural THOW and van-life community on 23 acres in Leicester, about 25 minutes from downtown Asheville. Five pad leases sit on rolling farmland bordered by neighbors on three sides—valley views, creek terrain, and a deliberately low-density setting for full-time minimalists who want privacy without sacrificing metro access.

Planning land you own in Buncombe County?

Turkey Creek Oasis is a rural THOW pad-lease community—not the same as owning a Buncombe County parcel with a permitted backyard ADU. Route into pathway tools if you are comparing both models.

Pads & tenancy snapshot

Five long-term THOW and van-life pads with electric, water, Wi-Fi, and 50 amp service on flat creekside terrain. BYO certified THOW on wheels required—operator keeps the community intentionally small.

Accepting new members per operator—call for a tour before applying. Five THOW/van pads on ~23 acres; address shared privately after tour booking to protect host privacy.

Want to know what your parcel can support?

Community lots, backyard ADUs, and raw land each follow different rules. We run a parcel-specific review—zoning, setbacks, utilities, flood exposure, and the dwelling-vs-RV path—before you buy land or order a unit.
