About this home

Calling all investors! Discover an exciting income-producing opportunity on 6.8 acres in southern Rutherford County with room for future growth. The property is currently improved for camper/RV sites with septic and electrical infrastructure in place. The sellers have invested approximately $50,000 in recent improvements, including connection to Broad River Water, new water hydrants, and new meter boxes. Although a well and associated lines remain on the property, the campground is currently served by public water. A convenient washroom with a washer and dryer is also available for guests. The sellers have focused on completing improvements before actively marketing the campground for rentals, creating an opportunity for a new owner to continue developing its income potential. Phase one currently has 7 permitted sites. With existing infrastructure, recent capital improvements, acreage, and proximity to some of the Foothills' most popular destinations, this property offers an excellent opportunity for an investor looking to grow a campground or RV rental business. The location adds to the appeal—approximately 10 miles from Tryon International Equestrian Center and minutes from Rutherfordton and Forest City, with convenient access to Spartanburg, Lake James, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
