Enjoy long-range, year-round mountain views and a peaceful, secluded setting ideal for a full-time residence, vacation retreat, or investment property. The community features paved road access, underground utilities, and well-maintained private roads surrounded by the natural beauty of North Carolina’s foothills. Well and septic will be needed, and a minimum 1,200 SF home is required (no manufactured homes). Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property’s proximity to South Mountains State Park, offering miles of hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding trails, waterfalls, fishing, and camping. Nearby local favorites include The Pots, a popular natural swimming hole with waterfalls and scenic rock formations, as well as Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park. Conveniently located near Forest City, Rutherfordton, Morganton and Lake Lure and approximately halfway between Charlotte and Asheville, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy, recreation, and accessibility. A great value for buyers seeking an affordable mountain-view property with the flexibility to build their dream home in scenic Rutherford County.
