About this home

PRIVATE FOOTHILLS ESTATE WITH YEAR-ROUND BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN VIEWS   Year-round Blue Ridge Mountain views highlight this beautifully maintained Colonial on 3.86 UNRESTRICTED PRIVATE ACRES just minutes from downtown Rutherfordton. Offering 4 bedrooms plus a flexible den that can serve as a home office, library, guest suite, or 5th bedroom, this property combines classic craftsmanship with modern updates, exceptional privacy, and the freedom that comes with unrestricted land.   Major recent improvements provide peace of mind and long-term value, including a metal roof in 2015, HVAC system, septic tank, water pump, new windows and storm doors.   Inside, you’ll find wide-plank hardwood floors, custom trim work, pocket doors, built-ins, and two fireplaces. The spacious living room is ideal for entertaining, while the paneled den adds warmth, character, and versatility.   The farmhouse-style kitchen features a charming window seat overlooking the mountain views, two pantry areas for exceptional storage, and a $10,000 appliance allowance, allowing buyers to personalize the kitchen to their own style and preferences.   Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer original hardwood floors, abundant storage, and timeless architectural details. Renovated in 2020, the primary and hall bathrooms feature walk-in tile showers, double vanities, and updated finishes.   The partially finished basement provides additional living space with a large family room, bonus room, full bath, laundry area, workshop space, and extensive storage.   Surrounded by mature hardwoods, flowering dogwoods, magnolias, azalea bushes, fruit trees, and black walnut trees, the property offers breathtaking sunsets, abundant wildlife, and nearly four acres of usable unrestricted land. A fenced area is ready for pets, chickens, goats, gardening, or small homesteading pursuits, while two outbuildings provide excellent workshop, hobby, equipment, or storage space.   Whether you’re seeking a primary residence, second home, multigenerational property, or private mountain retreat, this exceptional foothills estate offers the space, flexibility, and lifestyle that are increasingly difficult to find.   Conveniently located near Rutherford Regional Medical Center, Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Tryon International Equestrian Center, Asheville, Charlotte, and Greenville, this rare property delivers year-round mountain views, unrestricted acreage, significant system upgrades, and the privacy and beauty that make Western North Carolina one of the region’s most desirable places to call home.
