A homestead farm opportunity like this doesn't come along often! Discover nearly 25 acres of peace, privacy, and possibility, tucked away yet easily accessible and surrounded by nature. With established fruit trees, more than 16 acres of yellow pine, room for animals, outbuildings, and more, this property offers the space and setting to create the farm or country retreat you've always wanted. The land features pomegranates, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, pears, blueberries, paw paws, persimmons, apples, walnuts, and more. Duck, chicken, and goat houses make small-farm living easy, while a barn and additional sheds provide ample space for equipment, storage, and projects. The 2-bedroom home includes a flexible third space currently used as the owners' retreat, plus two updated bathrooms. A wood stove and propane heater provide cozy warmth in winter, while recently installed HVAC (2020) ensures year-round comfort. The property borders a ~2,300 acre conservancy, providing an exceptional natural buffer and added privacy, plus the owners' say you can't ask for better neighbors. Despite its peaceful setting, you'll have easy road access along with cell and internet service (Starlink). Conveniently located under 20 minutes from Rutherfordton, less than 45 minutes from Lake Lure, Lake James, and Tryon International for boating, golf, and equestrian activities; under an hour from Asheville and just a bit further from Charlotte. Whether you envision a working homestead, agricultural escape, or simply a private place with room to grow, this is a rare opportunity to make that dream a reality.
