Discover 133± acres in Polk County, NC, ready for your vision. This unrestricted tract has all the features buyers look for in a large property in the foothills of NC. Walnut Creek, wide and heavy flowing, runs along the boundary and through the property, providing access on both sides of the water. A couple of smaller streams are tucked inside the land, feeding into the larger creek. The mix of level and rolling ground makes it easy to get around, and an internal trail leads right down to the water. The timber, young and old in size, is mostly pine with hardwoods mixed throughout. It’s an outdoorsman’s dream with excellent hunting potential, plenty of whitetail deer signs, and room to ride ATVs or hike. A deeded easement off Highland Ridge Trail gets you in, and the property is raw land—well, septic, and power would need to be added. The tract is enrolled in the Forestry Management Program, giving the new owner the advantage of low property taxes. With no zoning restrictions, you’ll have complete freedom to decide how to use it. The location is hard to beat: just 10 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center and downtown Rutherfordton, NC, 30 miles to Hendersonville, and 40 miles to Shelby. Whether you’re looking for a private retreat, hunting land, or a place to build your own getaway, this tract has it all covered.
