INSTANT EQUITY opportunity! Appraised at $665,000 in 2022, this never-lived-in new construction home is set on nearly 7 unrestricted acres, offering a rare blend of creek frontage, privacy, and timeless mountain charm.
The thoughtfully designed open floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a dedicated office, and easy one-level living filled with natural light and peaceful wooded views. Enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening on the screened porch overlooking Cove Creek.
Built for comfort and efficiency, the home includes 6" exterior walls, a tankless water heater, and is pre-wired for a generator. The oversized 3-car garage is both functional and unique, complete with a custom dog wash station and hot/cold outdoor spigots.
An additional 1.19-acre lot is available, offering the opportunity to expand to over 8 acres or create the perfect space for a guest home, workshop, or future investment.
Conveniently located just 15 minutes to downtown Rutherfordton and Lake Lure, 25 minutes to Tryon Equestrian Center, and under an hour to Hendersonville and Asheville, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful mountain living and accessibility.
A rare find with exceptional value—don’t miss your chance to experience it in person!
