Bungalow, Ranch

*Installing fiber optics Tuesday! Spectrum is the new provider.* At the end of a long, tree-lined 1,250-foot driveway, you’ll find a place where the noise fades away and nature takes over. This is the kind of property you don’t stumble upon often, quiet, private, and surrounded by open land and woods, yet just a short walk from the South Carolina line. While the mailing address is Rutherfordton, the home is located in desirable Polk County, offering space, freedom, and true country living. The home sits on 13.99 acres, with an additional 14.88-acre parcel fronting Radar Road available for those wanting even more room to roam. Purchase both parcels together for 28.87 acres total, creating a rare opportunity for a horse property, mini-farm, or private estate. The land offers a beautiful mix of open pasture, wooded areas, and established garden space with raised beds. It’s partially fenced and ready for animals, hobbies, or future expansion. Outbuildings add incredible flexibility, including a 24x24 barn-style garage with power, front and rear sliding doors, and dual 24x15 lean-tos, perfect for livestock, equipment, or workshop space. There’s also a 32x30 equipment or hay storage building with over 11-foot ceilings. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and timeless charm. Hickory hardwood floors run throughout most of the living areas, with no carpet. The kitchen is both functional and welcoming, featuring solid hickory cabinets, Corian countertops, a center island, pantry, and a full appliance package—including the washer and dryer. Large windows and a cozy eat-in area make it a space where people naturally gather. One of the standout features is the sunroom addition with vaulted, wood-lined ceilings and luxury vinyl plank flooring. A Vermont Castings Defiant wood stove with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone surround makes this the perfect year-round retreat. The space is climate-controlled with a mini-split and opens to a stone patio where a private hot tub, also included, waits under the stars. The primary suite is privately tucked at the back of the home and offers a walk-in closet, tiled shower, jetted tub, dual vanities, and abundant natural light. Additional bedrooms are located off a central hallway and offer generous closet space. Throughout the home you’ll find nine-foot ceilings, crown molding, and thoughtful details that add to the sense of comfort. A full-length covered front porch invites slow mornings, quiet evenings, and peaceful views of the surrounding land. With internet available, no nearby homes in sight, and room to truly breathe, this property offers a lifestyle that’s hard to find, whether you dream of horses, a small farm, or simply a private retreat to call home.
