3012 Polk County Line Road, Rutherfordton, NC

Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this forty-acre estate in Rutherfordton represents a rare convergence of equestrian utility and high-country seclusion. The property, anchored by a 4,530-square-foot main residence built in 1995, offers a six-bedroom, seven-bathroom configuration designed for multi-generational utility, including a private secondary residence. The equestrian infrastructure is notably mature, featuring a four-stall barn with a converted hayloft and ten acres of fenced pasture bordered by a southern creek. For the serious equestrian, this submarket remains highly desirable due to its immediate proximity to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, which continues to drive long-term value for acreage in this corridor. The main house emphasizes volume and light, featuring a lower-level workshop and a primary suite with a jetted soaking tub, all positioned to overlook the foothills. Private counsel and viewings regarding this mountain estate may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
