Build a life in Western North Carolina you don't need a vacation from. This one checks all the hard-to-find boxes: 16.48 unrestricted acres (No HOA!) lots of privacy, a home with character, a meandering stream, outbuildings, established trails, and plenty of room.

The 2 BR / 2 BA home also offers a versatile loft / bonus room that is ideal for a home office or additional bedroom. Three heat sources (heat pump, a new gas-log fireplace, and wood-burning stove) provide year-round comfort.

The property boasts a 24’x31’ (744 SF) workshop with electric and water, plus three additional outbuildings, and a 30-amp RV hookup. More than two acres are cleared, with a stream running through the middle, offering space for gardening, homesteading, or hobby farming, while the additional 14 wooded acres invite you to explore by foot, mountain bike, or ATV.

Rich in local history, the original hand-hewn log cabin was once part of a family homestead and has been lovingly cared for. Family and local historical accounts suggest the cabin dates to the 18th century and may be among the oldest surviving structures in Polk County still standing in its original location.

Revel in the feeling of being tucked away without giving up convenience— you're only 10 minutes to Lake Lure and the nearest grocery store, 20 minutes to Chimney Rock or Tryon Equestrian Center, 20 minutes to Columbus with all its amenities (including a hospital), and 35 minutes to Hendersonville.

This is a property designed for living life on your own terms, where peace is the rule rather than the exception.
