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.

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.
