Nestled in the foothills of Rutherfordton, North Carolina, this land on Pleasant Grove Road offers approximately 83 acres of unrestricted opportunity—an exceptional canvas for your vision. The land is rich in natural beauty, featuring a clear, meandering creek that brings life and tranquility as it winds through the property. Beyond the creek, a wooded hillside rises gently, where selective clearing could reveal inspiring mountain views and create a dramatic setting for a dream home, event space, or private retreat. This farm is overflowing with potential for agricultural, recreational, or entrepreneurial pursuits. A substantial 40x100 (approx. 4,000 sq. ft.) workshop—complete with an office, three-phase power, and an air compressor that conveys—stands ready to support a wide range of uses. Several barns, sheds, and three 24x110 former poultry houses offer flexible infrastructure for farming, storage, or repurposing into new ventures. The property also includes a cattle barn, and while the farm buildings will need some repairs, they can be restored or cleared to suit your plans. The pasture is currently used for cattle, but livestock will be removed prior to closing. Previously operated as both a poultry farm and a working cattle farm, this land holds the foundation for a productive agricultural operation or a private legacy estate. Its blend of natural features and practical assets makes it a rare investment—one that can nurture dreams, growth, and new beginnings for years to come. 3 acres and the home (621 Pleasant Grove Rd) will be surveyed out of the parent tract unless the buyer would like to purchase for an additional $100,000. The remaining portion of the property will be approximately 83 acres as described in this listing.
