The kitchen offers abundant cabinet space and generous countertop area, ready for your personal touch. Multiple living and dining spaces throughout the home provide flexibility for everyday living and entertaining alike. Large windows throughout frame the surrounding trees, filling the home with natural light.

Combined with a private entrance, this space is ideal as an in-law suite or income-producing apartment, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living or additional revenue. Step outside and discover the true magic of this property. Two charming gazebos offer peaceful spots to relax and take in the scenery, while tranquil Koi ponds add serene water features to the landscape. A screened porch off the main living area extends your living space outdoors, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation surrounded by nature. Additional sheds on the property provide space for equipment, hobbies, or extra storage. With a 1-car garage, extensive private grounds, and an unbeatable location near the Tryon Equestrian Center and historic Fox Haven Plantation, this Rutherfordton property is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, flexibility, and income potential all in one package.
