Tucked away at the end of a private quarter-mile driveway, this spacious 1.5 story brick ranch offers the perfect blend of privacy and acreage, with being only 5 minutes from the charming downtown of Rutherfordton with coffee shops, shopping, and socialization. Situated on 9.93 acres, this property features seasonal long-range mountain views, partial year-round views, and endless opportunities for those seeking a mini farm, hobby farm, family estate, or private retreat (all with a backyard in ground pool with beautiful sunsets!).
With approximately 4,100 square feet, the home offers 4 bedrooms (per septic), 4 full bathrooms, and multiple additional flex rooms that can easily serve as home offices, guest rooms, playrooms, fitness space, or hobby areas. The oversized primary suite includes a bright sunroom overlooking the pool area, and a huge bay window overlooking the property and circle drive, while the large dining room with original chandelier is ideal for entertaining family and friends.
Outside, you'll find an in-ground pool, pool house with electric, bar area, and lights for evening enjoyment, two fenced pastures, a chicken coop, garden area, and an impressive 60-foot hoop house suitable for equipment, RV, tractor, workshop, or additional storage. A 50-amp RV/EV hookup adds even more versatility.
Enjoy total freedom on ~9.93 unzoned county acres! Located safely in the Second Broad River WS-IV watershed footprint, this property is ideal for anyone looking to add a massive workshop, an accessory dwelling unit, or a multi-car detached garage without jumping through municipal zoning hoops.
Major renovations have already been completed, leaving only a few cosmetic updates for the next owner to personalize.
