About this home
You'll sit well above the road on this gentle property! This land slopes gently up, with a bit more slope as you get toward the back of the lot - all of it gentle, easy. If you want a yard, you'll be able to mow this one. There are several places to chose from when you are ready to build. This land is one that must be walked on to appreciate - you won't see its potential from the road. A mildly wooded parcel, it rises up from the road, starting with a 'shelf' of near-level land. A natural gully on either side border of this parcel make the boundaries well defined and creates extra 'elbow room' from any potential neighbors. It's a great piece of property! A house built on this parcel will face south, and be surrounded by a variety of trees. Depending on where you choose to build, the land will support a one-level home, or a home with a walk-out basement. Although the five-year permit has expired, this property had a three-bedroom septic permit in place when it first became available. Being located in the foothills offers easy, practical living - this land is just a seven minute drive into town. Clearwater Creek is quiet - only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton - and with low dues of only $400/yr, the gated community offers peace of mind and convenience.
