About This Property

Build a life you don’t need a vacation from! Come home to 16 unrestricted acres with no HOA, abundant privacy, a stream, established trails, and plenty of room to live, work, and play in the mountains of Western NC.

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

The home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office or additional bedroom. Three heat sources—a heat pump, gas-log fireplace, and wood-burning stove—provide year-round comfort.

Start your mornings with coffee on the front porch and end your evenings there listening to the crickets and tree frogs. Wildlife is abundant, and with no through traffic and acres of woods surrounding you, privacy is part of everyday life.

Rich in local history, the hand-hewn log cabin was once part of an original family homestead. 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.

Enjoy the feeling of being tucked away without giving up convenience—10 minutes to Lake Lure, 20 minutes to Tryon International Equestrian Center, 35 minutes to Hendersonville, and an hour to Asheville or Greenville.

Whether you’re looking for a private mountain retreat, a homestead, room for your hobbies, or simply more space and fewer restrictions, this is a property designed for living life on your own terms.

Come experience the privacy, acreage, and possibilities in person - schedule your showing today! Seller welcomes offers.

Owner is a licensed NC Real Estate agent.
