1002 C C Road, Rutherfordton, NC

Positioned within reach of the Tryon International Equestrian Center and the natural landmarks of Lake Lure, this ten-acre Rutherfordton estate represents a sophisticated interpretation of mountain living. The primary residence, a custom log home completed in 2015, was constructed using timber harvested and milled directly from the property. This 3,678-square-foot compound offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms across a configuration that includes a dedicated two-bedroom guest cottage and a third structure currently in development. Beyond the handcrafted interiors, the grounds feature a stocked fishing pond, a private waterfall, and a versatile hangar that serves equally well for aviation storage or conversion into an equestrian facility. The submarket in this corridor of Western North Carolina continues to attract interest for its ability to balance profound seclusion with functional proximity to Asheville. This offering presents a rare opportunity for a multi-generational legacy retreat or a managed short-term portfolio. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.

About the home

Few mountain properties offer the story, flexibility, and possibilities found on this 10-acre retreat just minutes from downtown Rutherfordton, less than 20 miles from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park, and about an hour from Asheville. The custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath log cabin was handcrafted from timber milled directly from the property, creating a home rich in character with exposed wood beams, custom details, and thoughtfully designed living spaces. In addition to the main home, the property includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest cabin currently operating as a short-term rental, a second cabin under development, and multiple additional homesites—ideal for a family compound, retreat, or expanded rental opportunity. Enjoy a stocked fishing pond, peaceful waterfall with a meditation area, creek, gem mine replica, mountain views, and wooded privacy. The hangar provides a unique opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to store their aircraft, while equestrian buyers may envision converting the space into a barn to complement the property's proximity to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, located less than 10 miles away. Further down the property, you'll find far more than a typical garage: Moonshiner's Garage is a destination of its own—offering a vehicle lift, generous workshop space, and plenty of room for collectors, hobbyists, and automotive enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a mountain retreat, aviation property, income-producing investment, or legacy estate, 1002 C C Road is a rare opportunity unlike any other.
