303 Terry Straße

Tucked away on 37 unrestricted acres in the rolling foothills of North Carolina, this extraordinary homestead offers the rare combination of a brand-new custom home, income-producing potential, and a landscape so rich in character it practically tells its own story. The home is built in 2024; this 2,144 sq. ft. craftsman-quality residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a bonus room, and a 2-car attached garage, all sitting above a spacious crawl space with 8-foot walls, ready to be transformed into a workshop, root cellar, or finished basement. Three-zone HVAC keeps every corner of the home comfortable year-round, including dedicated systems for the primary suite, bonus room, and main living area. A storage room over the garage adds even more utility. The Garages and Outbuildings: Car enthusiasts, contractors, and hobbyists will be thrilled by the massive 1,620 sq. ft. detached 4-bay garage, complete with two 16-foot roll-up doors. One bay has already been converted into a private in-law suite or rental unit-an immediate income opportunity. A chicken coop rounds out the working infrastructure of this property. A second homesite is already set up. Near the main road sits a second RV lot or building site with its own power, septic, and water hookups-perfect for extended family, a guest cottage, rental income, or a future build. The Land: This is where the property truly shines. A year-round creek winds the entire length of the property parallel to Terry Road before feeding into historic Puzzle Creek. Multiple ATV, motorcycle, and horse trails crisscross the acreage, kept neatly mowed in season, and connect to neighboring riding trails beyond the property line. Eight acres surrounding the home are enclosed with underground fencing, ideal for dogs or livestock. The land is a forager’s and farmer’s dream: two apple trees, peach and pear trees, a blueberry bush, a fig bush, loads of wild blackberries, a flower garden bursting with rose bushes and annuals, and stunning peony and evergreen plantings. A potential natural spring near the base of the driveway awaits confirmation-a rare and valuable find. The Hunt Hunters, this one’s for you. The property previously operated as a hunting lease and comes with two enclosed deer stands. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and coyote are regular visitors, and the occasional black bear has been spotted on neighboring land. The creek bottom and hardwood timber create ideal habitat and natural funnels. Gold, History and Adventure: For the history buff and the adventurer alike, this land delivers. Puzzle Creek carries the lore of Abraham Lincoln’s earliest childhood home site, marked with a historical marker nearby and celebrated at a museum in Bostic. Just past the property line, a cluster of roughly 20 rock-piled grave sites, believed to be Civil War soldiers, Native Americans, or pioneer settlers, adds a sobering and fascinating layer of history. And for those bitten by the gold fever, exposed bedrock along the creek offers legitimate recreational gold panning opportunities. Location: Enjoy peace, privacy, and stars at night, yet you’re just 15–20 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and amenities of Shelby, Forest City, Rutherfordton, and Spindale. No restrictions. No HOA. Hunt it, farm it, build your compound-this land is yours to define.
