Yes, though Arden is mostly 1980s-90s subdivisions with open masonry fireplaces, not manufactured homes — and a mobile home follows entirely different rules. A wood stove for one must be listed for manufactured-home use, with an outside-air kit, floor anchor, and listed Class A chimney. A standard wood stove without that listing can't legally be installed.
Not the same as reworking a Royal Pines firebox
Across Skyland and Royal Pines, tired open masonry fireplaces pull heat out of rooms, and the usual fix is a sealed insert. A manufactured home is a different animal: there's no masonry chimney to line and no slack in clearances, so a wood stove has to be one specifically certified for mobile-home use. A conventional EPA stove, however good, can't legally be installed in a manufactured home in Buncombe County, and both the inspector and your insurer will look for the listing.
The listed-install checklist
A mobile-home-listed wood stove requires an outside-combustion-air duct straight to the firebox, since the home is sealed tight; a permanent floor anchor so it can't shift; and a listed Class A insulated chimney with the correct ceiling-support box, roof support, and spark arrestor. It sits on a hearth pad rated to the stove, with listed heat shields holding the tight clearances to the home's thin walls. The data plate has to read manufactured-home approved.
