Rutherford County continues to grow while still maintaining its small town charm, making this an ideal spot for those looking to raise a family, enjoy a slower pace, or live more self sufficient. The land was surveyed as a part of a bigger track and that goes to Hollis Road. The Hollis Road side is also for sale. The properties will be divided where they meet at the creek. If you have been searching for land that offers both freedom and convenience, this is a must see.
