About This Property

The beautiful craftsmanship in this Appalachian-style log home with hand hewn 14"-18" logs sets it apart from your average cabin! This home sits back from the road and with almost 10 acres, it offers lots of privacy & possibilities! Almost the entire property is fenced & cross-fenced, ready for your cows, horses, or goats. There's also a watering system for the animals in the pasture and there is a small stream at the back of the property. Inside the home you'll find a large great room with wood burning fireplace, kitchen with cherry cabinets & granite countertops, the primary bedroom with 2 closets and a bathroom with double sinks and walk-in shower. The laundry is also on the main level sharing space with a half bath. Upstairs in the loft is a second BR & a full bath. All appliances & most furniture will convey with the home. New roof & gutters in 2025 Outside you will love the view from the large 30 ft. covered porches on both the front & back of the home. There's a very nice 48 X 26 building with electric used as a workshop that could possibly be converted back to a barn that also has a new roof & gutters. There's another barn plus two other nice storage buildings. This is a must see property! Only one mile from US Hwy 74 for easy commutes to Asheville or Charlotte and it's only 16 miles from the Tryon Equestrian Center. Don't miss this one!

About the Neighborhood

Homes for sale in 28043 place buyers in Forest City, the Rutherford County seat approximately 65 miles southwest of Charlotte via US-74, a small city defined by its authentic Piedmont character, working industrial heritage, and a residential landscape offering exceptional value in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The architectural stock blends late Victorian and Craftsman-era bungalows in the established downtown residential neighborhoods with mid-century brick ranches and newer construction on the city's expanding suburban streets. The revitalizing Downtown Forest City corridor along West Main Street anchors the community's commercial identity, while Isothermal Community College provides an educational and cultural anchor for the broader Rutherford County region. Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park — two of Western North Carolina's premier outdoor destinations — are within 30 minutes via scenic US-74A, making 28043 a compelling base for outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The 28043 real estate market delivers some of the most accessible price points in the greater Western Piedmont region, with substantial historic homes and newer construction available at values that remain highly competitive compared to Charlotte's suburban markets.
