About this home

32+ acre retreat with two homes, stream frontage, and mountain privacy! This peaceful retreat is primarily wooded with three acres of beautiful open clearing alongside Little Camp Creek. The 3BR/2BA main residence features gorgeous hardwood floors and nice woodwork throughout, a renovated kitchen, and an updated bath. The primary bedroom serves as a true sanctuary, complete with a walk-in closet, a private balcony, and a classic clawfoot tub. Nearby, a separate 1BR/1BA guest cabin offers income potential, multigenerational living, or a dedicated home office. A large, paved area with retaining walls provides the foundation for outdoor living, entertainment, or sports. Unrestricted with no HOA, this property is located just northeast of downtown Rutherfordton, with easy access to Hwy 64, Lake Lure, and Chimney Rock.

Each has dedicated septic system and per owner, there is a 3rd septic near the framing work in the field. The 2 homes share a well. 2 PIN's 1633888070 (31.24 acres) & 1633871170 (1.4 acres)
