River Ridge Of Cleghorn South Homes for Sale

River Ridge of Cleghorn South is a gated foothills community where wooded acreage, Broad River access, and recurring mountain views define the setting. Just off US 74 near Cleghorn Golf & Sports Club, the neighborhood feels tucked into the trees while still keeping Rutherfordton and other daily destinations close.

Community Highlights

Most of the housing dates to the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the architecture leans heavily toward log cabins and rustic mountain homes. Vaulted great rooms, lofts, stone fireplaces, covered porches, screened porches, and open layouts show up repeatedly, giving the neighborhood a consistent retreat-style character without making every house look the same. Basements are common enough to matter, and detached garages, workshops, barns, and storage buildings appear often on the larger parcels.

Lot size is a major part of the appeal. The community average is just under three acres, and listings regularly describe wooded homesites in the two- to five-acre range, with some stretching beyond that. Cul-de-sac settings, long-range mountain views, private streams, and occasional direct river frontage all add to the sense of space. Even when a home is modest in square footage, the land usually broadens the experience with room for decks, fire pits, gardens, outbuildings, or simply a deeper tree line between neighbors.
