0 Cross Creek Dr Unit 136+136A, Rutherfordton, NC 28139
About this home
This large, wooded parcel is quiet and private. The excellent price is due to the property being steeper than many people prefer, though it offers a good, buildable and private home site. A big advantage is you won't have the yard or landscaping maintenance that keeps you working on your property, instead of enjoying it. There are potential winter views of the mountains, too! Covered with a mixture of hardwood trees which keeps the underbrush minimal, it's fairly easy to explore this land. There's a ridge that can be followed down to a small near-level area, which would be a great home site, with the ridge itself being the potential driveway. The developer of Clearwater Creek (Mountain Creek Land Company, Inc.) originally had a three-bed septic permit issued (2007) for this property from the county Health Department (Foothills Health District). Though septic permits only have a five-year life, it's still good to know the land previously passed the 'perc' test! Being located in the foothills offers easy, practical living. Clearwater Creek is quiet, and only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton... and with low dues of only 400/yr, the gated community offers security and peace of mind, convenience, and ease of access.
Clearwater Creek, located between Main Street and the Broad River, is a residential and semi-rural Rutherfordton neighborhood with wooded creek corridors and winding two-lane roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Main Street corridor near the Rutherford County Courthouse, where brick storefronts, local galleries, and coffee counters set a small-town pace. Housing reads as a mix of ranch homes, newer builds on larger lots, and pockets of older cottages framed by mature trees. Trail time and river views shape the daily rhythm, with green space and ballfields close by. Downtown’s local anchors—Mi Pueblito Mexican Restaurant, Copper Penny Grill, and the Bechtler House—add a steady cultural pulse. The landscape stays the headline: creek bottoms, rolling terrain, and a short drive to the foothills.
