Description

Tucked away on 37 unrestricted acres in the rolling foothills of North Carolina, this extraordinary homestead offers the rare combination of a brand-new custom home, income-producing potential, and a landscape so rich in character it practically tells its own story. Built in 2024, this 2,144 sq. ft. craftsman-quality residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a bonus room, and a 2-car attached garage, all sitting above a spacious crawl space with 8-foot walls ready to be transformed into a workshop, root cellar, or finished basement. Three-zone HVAC keeps every corner of the home comfortable year-round, including dedicated systems for the primary suite, bonus room, and main living area, while a storage room over the garage adds even more functionality. Car enthusiasts, contractors, and hobbyists will be thrilled by the massive 1,620 sq. ft. detached 4-bay garage, complete with two 16-foot roll-up doors, spray foam insulation, and a wood-burning stove, creating a comfortable and efficient workspace year-round. One bay has already been converted into a private in-law suite or rental unit, offering immediate income potential, and a chicken coop rounds out the working infrastructure of the property. Near the main road sits a second RV lot or future homesite already equipped with its own power, septic, and water hookups. Perfect for extended family, a guest cottage, rental income, or a future build. This is where the property truly shines. A year-round creek winds the entire length of the property parallel to Terry Road before feeding into historic Puzzle Creek. Multiple ATV, motorcycle, and horse trails crisscross the acreage, kept neatly mowed in season, and connect to neighboring riding trails beyond the property line. Eight acres surrounding the home are enclosed with underground fencing, ideal for dogs or livestock. The land is a forager’s and farmer’s dream with two apple trees, peach and pear trees, a blueberry bush, fig bush, loads of wild blackberries, a flower garden bursting with rose bushes and annuals, and stunning peony and evergreen plantings. A potential natural spring near the base of the driveway awaits confirmation, adding even more value to this already remarkable property. Hunters will appreciate that the property previously operated as a hunting lease and includes two enclosed deer stands. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and coyote are frequent visitors, and the occasional black bear has been spotted nearby. The creek bottom and hardwood timber create ideal habitat and natural funnels. For the history buff and the adventurer alike, Puzzle Creek carries the lore of Abraham Lincoln’s earliest childhood home site, marked nearby and celebrated at a museum in Bostic. Just beyond the property line, a cluster of rock-piled grave sites believed to date back to Civil War soldiers, Native American, or early settlers adds a fascinating historical element. Exposed bedrock along the creek also offers opportunities for recreational gold panning. Enjoy peace, privacy, and star-filled skies while still being just 15–20 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and conveniences of Shelby, Forest City, Rutherfordton, and Spindale. No restrictions. No HOA. Hunt it, farm it, or build your private compound—this is land that truly lets you live life on your terms.
