247.46 Acres | Union Mills, NC | Historic Frontier Cabin | Mountains, Creeks & Pasture There are properties you buy. And then there are properties that find you. This is the latter. Tucked into the mountains of Rutherford County, 247.46 acres of pure, untouched North Carolina waits for the person who's been quietly dreaming of something more — more space, more silence, more life. Not a subdivision lot. Not a neighborhood. Not an HOA newsletter. A place where the only thing on the horizon is mountain views, and the only sound at dusk is water moving over rock. The land has it all: sweeping mountain views that stop you in your tracks, open pasture, hardwood forest, and creek frontage that would make a grown man stop and just breathe. Whether you're a hunter looking for your own private ground, a horseman wanting room to roam, or simply someone who has had enough of the noise — this land meets you where you are. At the heart of it stands a cabin that defies modern time. Built in the 1700s or early 1800s, this cabin features a main room anchored by a beautiful fireplace with a kitchen and full bath. It is a living relic of American frontier life in these mountains. Look closely at the walls and you'll find the original rifle ports — narrow openings hand-cut by the settlers who built this place and defended it. This isn't a cabin that was decorated to feel historic. It is history. It has earned its age. Every notch and worn plank tells a story most people will never get to touch. In a world that moves faster every year — where the headlines are relentless, the cities are louder, and privacy feels like a luxury — land like this has become something else entirely: a refuge. A reset. A place to raise your kids the way you were meant to. To hunt your own ground. To sit on a porch in front of a cabin that was standing before this country was what it is today, and feel something settle inside your chest. The seller will not subdivide. This land sells whole, 247.46 acres, one piece, one legacy, one opportunity. Some things are worth protecting. This is one of them.

Enjoy a stocked fishing pond, peaceful waterfall with a meditation area, creek, gem mine replica, mountain views, and wooded privacy. The hangar provides a unique opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to store their aircraft, while equestrian buyers may envision converting the space into a barn to complement the property's proximity to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, located less than 10 miles away. Further down the property, you'll find far more than a typical garage: Moonshiner's Garage is a destination of its own—offering a vehicle lift, generous workshop space, and plenty of room for collectors, hobbyists, and automotive enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a mountain retreat, aviation property, income-producing investment, or legacy estate, 1002 C C Road is a rare opportunity unlike any other.

1002 C C Road, Rutherfordton
