With mountain views throughout winter, this wooded 4.826 acres features abundant wildlife! Sitting on a ridge in a small, upscale neighborhood outside of Rutherfordton, the best home site has been cleared, well and septic permits are on hand, and protective covenants allow for a few trees to be removed to enhance the view. This parcel sits on a ridge, offering some near-level land that's only been cleared at what's likely the best home site. A driveway is already cut in, and underground power is available. Some of the land is gently sloped, while some of it features slopes that are more pronounced. You'll enjoy lush vegetation during much of the year, with wide, panoramic mountain views when the abundant hardwood trees lose their colorful leaves in autumn. Only a handful of homes have been built in the community, and with vacant lots on either side of this one, deer and other wildlife are your neighbors. The land is heavily treed, though many were lost to Hurricane Helene. Some clean-up has been done, but work remains. It's located in the community of Maple Creek, where you'll find underground power, excellent cell phone signal, great internet options, and a 1,700 sf minimum when you're ready to build on the property.
As the MLS and public records start to fill up, we'll list the details here.
