This nicely wooded, gently sloped parcel measures over an acre and a half. A home build on this lot will sit below the road, offering a sense of being 'tucked-in' to the land. The slightly dark photos let you see the heavy canopy of hardwoods on this private parcel of gentle land. Normally a corner lot such as this would seem to have more exposure, but this jewel offers as much privacy as you might want. Covered with a mixture of hardwood trees (many are saplings), this property will be easy to build on, and would work well for a one-level home, but also offers enough slope for a basement foundation if you like. Being located in the foothills offers easy, practical living. Clearwater Creek is quiet - only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton - and with low dues of only $400/yr, the gated community offers security, peace of mind, and convenient, ease of access.

Hardwoods are predominant on this large parcel in the gated community, with several old beech trees making an enduring (and endearing) statement. Of course it'll be your option, but you might choose to build half way down the first slope using a circular driveway, keeping things simple and providing easy access. It's also likely that you'll only have one step into your home! Building down a bit further, the old road bed could serve as the walking out part of a walk-out basement. It might be nice to cut a set of steps into the hill (similar to what you find at a state park), with a landing or two, giving easier access to the level land and stream below in the lower portion of this beautiful property. Imagine the view from your deck! And the near-level portion below could offer a lovely enhancement to your view from above - it could be a massive garden, a park or play space! Being located in the foothills offers easy, practical living - this land is just a ten-minute drive into town. Clearwater Creek is quiet, three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton, and features low annual dues.

With plenty of near-level land to work with, this 2.11 acre parcel only starts to slope about halfway in, and in the last third, finishes with a steeper slope ending along a small stream. You'll be deep into this quiet place before the slope gets too significant to build on. Perfect for either a one-level, or a home with a walk-out basement, this property starts flat, like the road. It's heavily wooded, offering an abundance of privacy, and minimal undergrowth. It stays near-level a good two-thirds into this large property, when the land starts to 'wrinkle' and the slope is more pronounced. Sustaining very little hurricane damage, deer trails are laced throughout this parcel, letting you know this is a quiet location. Found near the east edge of the community (Clearwater Creek map), it's easy to walk and explore! Located in the foothills just a ten minute drive into town, Clearwater Creek is quiet - only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton. You'll find health care, schools, banks, grocery stores and everything you need right here, while Asheville and several larger towns and cities are within an hours drive.
