With plenty of near-level land to work with, this 2.11 acre parcel only starts to slope about halfway in, and in the last third, finishes with a steeper slope ending along a small stream. You'll be deep into this quiet place before the slope gets too significant to build on. Perfect for either a one-level, or a home with a walk-out basement, this property starts flat, like the road. It's heavily wooded, offering an abundance of privacy, and minimal undergrowth. It stays near-level a good two-thirds into this large property, when the land starts to 'wrinkle' and the slope is more pronounced. Sustaining very little hurricane damage, deer trails are laced throughout this parcel, letting you know this is a quiet location. Found near the east edge of the community (Clearwater Creek map), it's easy to walk and explore! Located in the foothills just a ten minute drive into town, Clearwater Creek is quiet - only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton. You'll find health care, schools, banks, grocery stores and everything you need right here, while Asheville and several larger towns and cities are within an hours drive.

Offering a dense canopy that keeps the undergrowth to a minimum, you'll find it easy to navigate and explore. Nearly level with the road, the slope of this wooded lot stays gentle, with few exceptions, all the way to where the land meets the same road on the far border. A great place for your new home, this property is found near the center of the community. It's a quiet location, as the deer trails make obvious. Located in the foothills just a ten minute drive into town, Clearwater Creek is only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton, with easy access to health care, grocery stores, schools, banks, and everything you'll need.

This 1.55 acre lot is located near the north entrance of Clearwater Creek, making it convenient - 10 minutes to Rutherfordton, less than 20 to Lake Lure! Park your RV! Lot 404 in Clearwater Creek is a mildly wooded parcel that starts out level, with a driveway already cut in. The 1.55 acres offers gentle land, with a barely a slope up to the north. As you walk east, deeper into the property, you'll see the land roll down into a 'valley' and come back up part of the opposite slope.
