2 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 4410441 MLS ⋅ 1,288 SqFt. ⋅ ACTIVE Status
This 2 bed/2 bath cabin measures 1,288 sf and features vaulted ceilings throughout. Enjoy the covered deck, the beautiful landscaping, the abundant butterflies, birds and wildlife! The peace and quiet! Savor the great western NC outdoors under the comfort of the covered, recently refinished deck, or take a couple steps to the adjacent, cozy sitting area in the back yard...maybe a short walk to the shady patio below! This genuine log cabin sits in a gated community in north-central Rutherford County where you'll see so many stars on a clear night, likely have deer walk through your property, and be free from the noise and bustle of the city. This two bed/two bath home actually has (per county records) a three-bedroom septic system installed - so the property could be expanded, or you might just rest easier knowing the system is over-built. Another not-so-obvious feature is the roof rejuvenation done earlier this year (3/26). It extends the life of the architectural shingles, and has a transferable warranty. The ample kitchen sports plenty of cabinetry and counter space, and features an island with a butcher block surface, plus the stainless side-by-side refrigerator will convey. The large primary bedroom has a huge en suite where you'll find tile flooring, a jetted tub and tiled shower, and what a practical place to have the laundry! More features worth mentioning are the concrete driveway, two outbuildings (one w/electric), a gas line that's run into the house (previouslly used for a portable gas fireplace), and the community itself recently had electric upgrades and the addition of cable provided by Spectrum. Hearthstone Ridge is five miles north of Rutherfordton, the seat of Rutherford County in western North Carolina. Featuring two gated entrances, the community sits just fourteen miles south of Interstate 40.

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.

Some places simply feel different. At 540 Crutchfield Road, the landscape has been shaping memories long before the home was ever built. Massive hardwood trees, now more than a century old, frame the property with their sprawling branches and welcome shade. Beyond them, open pastures roll toward the horizon where the Blue Ridge Mountains rise in the distance, creating a view that never seems to get old. From the living room, the mountains become part of everyday life. Morning coffee comes with a front-row seat to changing seasons, drifting clouds, and the quiet beauty that makes this part of North Carolina so special. The home itself has been thoughtfully refreshed with new flooring and fresh paint throughout, creating a clean and inviting space ready for its next chapter. Offering three bedrooms, one full bath, and a convenient half bath, the single-level layout is comfortable, practical, and easy to enjoy. A full basement provides additional storage and workspace below. Outside, a large wooden workshop stands ready for projects, equipment, hobbies, or simply a place to tinker. The yard offers plenty of room to spread out, garden, or relax beneath the shade of trees that have stood here for generations. The property has also been recently surveyed, with boundary markers already in place, making it easy to understand exactly what you're purchasing. This isn't a subdivision home with a mountain-themed name and a distant glimpse of a ridge. This is a genuine foothills property where the views are real, the trees are old, and life moves at just the right pace.
