The tract lies flat by Rutherford County standards, with under 40 feet of elevation change across roughly 700 feet of depth.

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.

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.
