Public Remarks Nestled in the foothills of Rutherfordton, North Carolina, this land on Pleasant Grove Road offers approximately 86 acres of unrestricted opportunity—an exceptional canvas for your vision. The land is rich in natural beauty, featuring a clear, meandering creek that brings life and tranquility as it winds through the property. Beyond the creek, a wooded hillside rises gently, where selective clearing could reveal inspiring mountain views and create a dramatic setting for a dream home, event space, or private retreat. This farm is overflowing with potential for agricultural, recreational, or entrepreneurial pursuits. A substantial 40x100 (approx. 4,000 sq. ft.) workshop—complete with an office, three-phase power, and an air compressor that conveys—stands ready to support a wide range of uses. Several barns, sheds, and three 24x110 former poultry houses offer flexible infrastructure for farming, storage, or repurposing into new ventures. The property also includes a cattle barn, and while the farm buildings will need some repairs, they can be restored or cleared to suit your plans. The pasture is currently used for cattle, but livestock will be removed prior to closing. Previously operated as both a poultry farm and a working cattle farm, this land holds the foundation for a productive agricultural operation or a private legacy estate. Its blend of natural features and practical assets makes it a rare investment—one that can nurture dreams, growth, and new beginnings for years to come. Due to the condition of the home, it is considered unsafe to enter.

At only 5.46 acres, it's situated perfectly at the end of the road along part of the cul-de-sac, with approx 600' of bold Mountain Creek frontage, with a private natural beach area with easy access to the water. A 4-bedroom septic and well permit is already approved and good through 3/2/27. Some initial clearing and grading were done to prep the homesite, but the remainder of the land is wooded and gently sloping. The homesite sits well back off the road and only the driveway is cut in to leave ultimate privacy from the private, recently paved community road. The drive in from Hwy 64/74 is absolutely goregous, crossing the community bridge over Mountain Creek and winding through tree-lined paved roads and a beautiful HOA common area pasture. This is truly a gem of a community, with its location only 5 miles/8 mins from the heart of downtown Rutherfordton but you feel like you're 30 mins from everything inside the community.

BACK ON THE MARKET NO FAULT OF SELLER Tucked away on 37 unrestricted acres in the rolling foothills of North Carolina, this extraordinary homestead offers the rare combination of a brand-new custom home, income-producing potential, and a landscape so rich in character it practically tells its own story. Built in 2024, this 2,144 sq. ft. craftsman-quality residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a bonus room, and a 2-car attached garage, all sitting above a spacious crawl space with 8-foot walls ready to be transformed into a workshop, root cellar, or finished basement. Three-zone HVAC keeps every corner of the home comfortable year-round, including dedicated systems for the primary suite, bonus room, and main living area, while a storage room over the garage adds even more functionality. Car enthusiasts, contractors, and hobbyists will be thrilled by the massive 1,620 sq. ft. detached 4-bay garage, complete with two 16-foot roll-up doors, spray foam insulation, and a wood-burning stove, creating a comfortable and efficient workspace year-round. One bay has already been converted into a private in-law suite or rental unit, offering immediate income potential, and a chicken coop rounds out the working infrastructure of the property. Near the main road sits a second RV lot or future homesite already equipped with its own power, septic, and water hookups. Perfect for extended family, a guest cottage, rental income, or a future build. This is where the property truly shines. A year-round creek winds the entire length of the property parallel to Terry Road before feeding into historic Puzzle Creek. Multiple ATV, motorcycle, and horse trails crisscross the acreage, kept neatly mowed in season, and connect to neighboring riding trails beyond the property line. Eight acres surrounding the home are enclosed with underground fencing, ideal for dogs or livestock. The land is a forager’s and farmer’s dream with two apple trees, peach and pear trees, a blueberry bush, fig bush, loads of wild blackberries, a flower garden bursting with rose bushes and annuals, and stunning peony and evergreen plantings. A potential natural spring near the base of the driveway awaits confirmation, adding even more value to this already remarkable property. Hunters will appreciate that the property previously operated as a hunting lease and includes two enclosed deer stands. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and coyote are frequent visitors, and the occasional black bear has been spotted nearby. The creek bottom and hardwood timber create ideal habitat and natural funnels. For the history buff and the adventurer alike, Puzzle Creek carries the lore of Abraham Lincoln’s earliest childhood home site, marked nearby and celebrated at a museum in Bostic. Just beyond the property line, a cluster of rock-piled grave sites believed to date back to Civil War soldiers, Native American, or early settlers adds a fascinating historical element. Exposed bedrock along the creek also offers opportunities for recreational gold panning. Enjoy peace, privacy, and star-filled skies while still being just 15–20 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of Shelby, Forest City, Rutherfordton, and Spindale. No restrictions. No HOA. Hunt it, farm it, or build your private compound this is land that truly lets you live life on your terms.

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.
