About This Home

Discover 13.5+ acres of pure Carolina beauty in Rutherfordton - Bring your offer today with the price improvement (although the seller had some paths put in) to make this property yours!!! This exceptional tract offers a serene, park-like setting with a perfect balance of privacy, accessibility, and natural charm. Tucked away on a peaceful country road, the property greets you with level, usable land—ideal for a wide range of possibilities, from building your dream home or mini-farm to creating a private retreat or recreational paradise. Multiple options for building, tuck away far from the road in a tree-surrounded paradise and enjoy as much seclusion as you want --- a path in, easily marked your way at the end of late Spring! ;) ****You’ll find this parcel is a true haven for wildlife—deer, turkey, and songbirds call this place home—making it a wonderful choice for outdoor enthusiasts, nature lovers, or anyone who dreams of a peaceful escape surrounded by native beauty.****

The land itself is a rare find: gently rolling to flat terrain, loblolly pines and mature hardwoods, and very little underbrush where the "original" trees are/were make the acreage easy to explore and envision. A flowing creek meanders through the middle and rear portions of the property, adding to the sense of tranquility and natural character!

Location is key, and this property delivers. Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, you’ll enjoy the quiet of the countryside while being just minutes from the conveniences of Rutherfordton, Forest City, and Lake Lure. Rutherfordton is known for its charming downtown, historic Main Street, seasonal festivals, and small-town hospitality. Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, and Tryon International Equestrian Center are all within an easy drive, offering boating, hiking, equestrian events, and year-round recreation. Asheville and Spartanburg are also accessible for day trips, dining, and cultural amenities—perfect for those who want to live quietly yet stay connected.

Offering the best of both worlds: peaceful surroundings without HOA restrictions or heavy rules! Envision a custom mountain farmhouse, a cabin by the creek, a family homestead, or simply a place to relax and camp on weekends; this property provides the space and flexibility to bring your ideas to life... OR hold onto as an investment for down the road! With ample road frontage and level topography, access is simple, and utilities are available nearby, making future development straightforward.

Imagine mornings with coffee by the creek or crick! LOL Afternoons exploring your own wooded sanctuary, and evenings under endless stars. Here you can establish gardens, keep horses or livestock, or design trails for ATV riding, hiking, or horseback riding—all on your own land. Properties of this size and usability are increasingly rare in Rutherford County, especially with such a balanced combination of open, buildable space and natural features.

Don’t miss your chance to claim this one-of-a-kind property in a growing, desirable part of Western North Carolina. Bring your dreams, plans, and imagination—the possibilities are endless. Schedule your visit today and experience firsthand the peace, potential, and promise of 13.5+ acres on Farmer John Trail.
