Situated along Fairgrounds Road between the zoning districts of Spindale and Forest City, this property offers a rare opportunity for buyers seeking flexibility in development while maintaining close access to municipal resources. Its location may allow for programmatic or service-oriented uses that can be more difficult to accommodate in more restrictive districts. The parcel is conveniently located near key community assets, including DHHS, the Rutherford County Health Department, and Rutherford County Transit, as well as a wide range of nearby employers. The Thermal Belt Rail Trail—connecting Rutherfordton, Spindale, and Forest City—is also within walking distance, adding both accessibility and quality-of-life appeal.
This 10.08 acre property lays nicely and it is conveniently located close to Hotels, Restaurants, and many other businesses on nearby Highway 74. There is a small stream on the property. Good location with 2 entrances available. It is unrestricted and ready for your ideas.
