About this home

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. The land itself is a rare find: gently rolling to flat terrain, loblolly pines and mature hardwoods, and very little underbrush 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. 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. 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. Deer Run Farms is a community that offers the best of both worlds: peaceful surroundings without HOA restrictions or heavy rules. Whether your vision is 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. With ample road frontage and level topography, access is simple, and utilities are available nearby, making future development straightforward.
