ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This wooded parcel rises up from the road, but has easy, level access. It's square in shape and the east portion features a large, near-level building site with a gentle slope up. That near-level area is just one potential build site. There are actually two or three good locations on this land to choose from. The land features a wide 'valley', which would be an excellent place to garden, and its canopy of mostly hardwoods ensure only light vegetation and underbrush. Build your home to enhance and enjoy the private, natural surroundings - gentle topography, clean air, deer trails, the breeze rustling through the ever-changing leaves - you get the picture!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This lot has two distinctive levels, with the higher part being a rather large, easy-to-build area, then it slopes down leading to the potential for a park-like setting along the small stream. From the road, you'd think this parcel is mostly pines, but it's covered in hardwoods, with a stream along the E border. Much of this land is near level giving you several home site choices. E-Z build for a one level home, or use the slope toward the stream to build with a basement. Along the stream, the land is near-level offering a peaceful respite. Create a park where you enjoy the soothing sounds of the water. The wooded mixture of evergreens and hardwoods in this lot create a sense of privacy and serenity, and it's located on a small, less-used street. You'll notice the land undulates somewhat, but it's still an easy walk - maybe a bit overgrown, but thanks to the deer trails, it's not difficult to navigate.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This parcel is wooded, with plenty of usable, near level land - bit overgrown, but with a glance at the photo above, you can tell it offers mountain views. Located at the end of the cul-de-sac, the property has a gentle slope following the slope of the road, eventually ending down by a small stream, all without being too steep to enjoy both! Laying well above the paved road, any home site taking advantage of the view will feature a gentle rise in its driveway. Most of the Clearwater Creek community is gated, but this parcel sits within Phase One, the un-gated section, inside the town limits of Rutherfordton.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This lot rolls with undulations and an overall gentle slope - with the most gentle area almost midpoint between the road frontage (west border) and the stream (east), offering beauty and privacy plus an easy build. A generous parcel, it's convenient to the north gate of the community, yet it's on a little-used road. Features a great deal of privacy while being tucked under a canopy of mostly hardwoods. (Shade all summer and sunlight in the winter.) The stream flows all year, and while it gets a bit steeper along the water, it's still a lovely view, and not all that challenging to approach. The deer trails offer additional charm to this lovely property. While it's a bit dense along the road frontage, there's a minimum of undergrowth - you'll find it easy to walk on and explore.
