About this home

Rare opportunity to own 26.62 acres of beautiful, tree-covered land offering complete privacy and the freedom of no restrictions. Whether you envision a private estate, a family compound, a hobby farm, or an investment with multiple building sites, this versatile acreage gives you the canvas to make it happen. Tucked in sought-after Polk County, the location strikes a near-perfect balance between seclusion and convenience — just 5 minutes to everyday shopping and dining, and only 10 minutes to the shores of Lake Lure, ranked among National Geographic's top ten most beautiful manmade lakes in the world. Families will appreciate access to Polk County schools (Polk Central Elementary, Polk Middle, and Polk High School) as well as proximity to Lake Lure Classical Academy, a highly regarded tuition-free K–12 public charter school celebrating its 16th year of academic excellence. With this much land at this price point, the possibilities are truly limitless. Survey your future, walk your property lines, and start building the life you've always imagined.
