Cub Creek Preserve is a rare ridge-top estate offering approximately 95 acres of privacy, scale, and long-range panoramic views. Set high along a scenic ridge, the property creates an immediate sense of retreat while offering substantial existing infrastructure for residential, agricultural, recreational, hospitality, or mission-driven use. The land features a compelling mix of open grass-fenced pastures, equestrian and livestock improvements, usable acreage, and elevated view corridors that make the setting feel both expansive and highly private. At the heart of the property are extensive residential accommodations designed to support gatherings, extended stays, and flexible occupancy. The improvements include 8 guest bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, multiple meeting rooms, an exercise gym, a fire suppression system, full-house standby generator, and multiple wells. This combination of lodging capacity, meeting space, wellness-oriented amenities, and essential systems gives the property immediate functionality while preserving significant long-term upside for the next owner. Outdoor improvements further distinguish Cub Creek Preserve. Grass-fenced pastures, a horse barn, livestock shelters, and a cross-country agility course provide a strong foundation for equestrian use, animal care, training, recreation, or event-style programming. The property’s acreage and topography offer room to roam, ride, gather, and enjoy the natural surroundings, while the ridge-top position delivers memorable views and a true destination feel. The versatility of Cub Creek Preserve is one of its strongest attributes. Potential uses may include a private retreat, wellness or meditation destination, adult or teen camp concept, agility or performance training facility, equestrian-focused venue, group lodging property, or legacy estate holding. With infrastructure already in place for lodging, gatherings, agricultural use, and recreation, the property offers a head start for buyers seeking more than a conventional residence. Cub Creek Preserve is ideal for those looking for acreage with purpose, privacy with usability, and improvements that support both personal enjoyment and broader vision. Properties of this scale, with this level of infrastructure and ridge-top setting, are increasingly difficult to find. Potential uses are subject to buyer verification and all applicable local approvals.

This private 13.41-acre parcel sits in a quiet gated community with underground utilities and easy paved access. Although secluded, it’s only ten minutes from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and the Broad River for quick access to an incredible range of outdoor recreation. The land features a mature hardwood forest, scattered pines, and a naturally open understory that makes the acreage fully walkable. You’ll find mountain laurel, wild azaleas, dogwoods, seasonal chanterelle mushrooms, and beautiful rock outcroppings throughout the land, with abundant wildlife enhancing the quiet, natural setting. A gentle, build-ready homesite offers 180° winter views with potential for year-round expansion. Nature trails wind through the acreage, and two simple firepit areas provide spots for sunsets, stargazing, and relaxing by the cascading stream. The stream traces the full length of both lots, adding movement, sound, and a calming presence across the property. Overall, it’s a private, walkable mountain sanctuary offering exceptional possibilities.

Few mountain properties offer the story, flexibility, and possibilities found on this 10-acre retreat just minutes from downtown Rutherfordton, less than 20 miles from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park, and about an hour from Asheville. The custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath log cabin was handcrafted from timber milled directly from the property, creating a home rich in character with exposed wood beams, custom details, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. In addition to the main home, the property includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest cabin currently operating as a short-term rental, a second cabin under development, and multiple additional homesites—ideal for a family compound, retreat, or expanded rental opportunity. 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.
