About this home
Discover nearly 59 acres of exceptionally usable land just minutes from downtown Rutherfordton! With its remarkably flat topography, this expansive property offers incredible potential for development, a private estate, recreational use, or a combination of all three. Currently enjoyed as hunting land, the property is filled with natural beauty, including abundant wildlife, seasonal wildflowers, blackberry bushes, and plenty of room to explore. The mostly level terrain is a standout feature for acreage of this size and opens the door to a wide variety of possibilities. The owner also plans to have the property bush hogged soon, making it even easier to see and appreciate the lay of the land. Conveniently located just down the road from R-S Central High School and only minutes from downtown Rutherfordton, the property offers a peaceful, private setting without feeling remote. Enjoy easy access to the surrounding mountains and lakes, with Lake Lure and Lake James both approximately 30 minutes away. Whether you're envisioning a private homestead, family compound, recreational retreat, hunting property, or future development opportunity, nearly 59 acres of flat, well-located land like this is a rare find in Western North Carolina.
