Description

Tucked away in the quiet foothills of North Carolina, this 158-acre property feels like a step back in time — where mornings start with the sound of a creek rolling over smooth stones, and the world feels a little simpler. As you wind down the old gravel path, the trees open just enough to reveal a weathered but sturdy homesite — a piece of local history that’s aged gracefully. The front porch looks out over the creek, where frogs sing at dusk and the soft rush of water carries through the valley....Tucked away in the quiet foothills of North Carolina, this 158-acre property feels like a step back in time — where mornings start with the sound of a creek rolling over smooth stones, and the world feels a little simpler. As you wind down the old gravel path, the trees open just enough to reveal a weathered but sturdy homesite — a piece of local history that’s aged gracefully. The front porch looks out over the creek, where frogs sing at dusk and the soft rush of water carries through the valley. Generations have hunted these ridges, raised families here, and shared stories by the fire. The old two-seater outhouse still stands — a small but honest monument to simpler days. While some of the terrain rises steeply into hardwood ridges, the property offers plenty of gentle knolls and accessible homesites — each with its own character and sweeping views that stretch across Rutherford County’s foothills. The possibilities are endless: a mountain retreat, hunting preserve, family compound, or simply a place to escape and breathe. Power is already on-site, running to the existing homesite. The land is unrestricted, so your vision — whether a rustic cabin, dream home, or weekend getaway — can take shape without limits. Though it feels miles from everything, you’re only a short drive from Rutherfordton’s conveniences, and less than an hour from Asheville, Hendersonville, and Spartanburg. Here, you can live off the beaten path without being out of reach. This isn’t just a piece of land. It’s 158 acres of North Carolina heritage — quiet, private, and full of stories waiting to be told again.
