This 1.66 acre lot has a gentle, overall slope while it levels off along the stream, offering potential for creating a park-like setting along the water. This corner lot (Bitteroot Cir and Clearwater Pkwy) gives you options that a lot of other property doesn't: You could showcase your new home, or enjoy privacy, or something in-between. It's a good parcel to build on, with the right amount of slope to easily support a home on either a crawlspace or basement foundation. And there are so many options for where to place your new home! With the strong vegetative growth on this fertile land, the trees offer considerable privacy.... or you could open enough yard for the grandkids to throw Frisbees or play on their swing set. Another wonderful feature of this land is that it has over 500' of frontage along a year 'round stream! Plenty of shade and cool water - perfect for warm days, and charming through every season. Being located in the foothills offers easy, practical living.

4412566 MLS

This large, wooded parcel is quiet and private. The excellent price is due to the property being steeper than many people prefer, though it offers a good, buildable and private home site. A big advantage is you won't have the yard or landscaping maintenance that keeps you working on your property, instead of enjoying it. There are potential winter views of the mountains, too! Covered with a mixture of hardwood trees which keeps the underbrush minimal, it's fairly easy to explore this land. There's a ridge that can be followed down to a small near-level area, which would be a great home site, with the ridge itself being the potential driveway. The developer of Clearwater Creek (Mountain Creek Land Company, Inc.) originally had a three-bed septic permit issued (2007) for this property from the county Health Department (Foothills Health District). Though septic permits only have a five-year life, it's still good to know the land previously passed the 'perc' test! Being located in the foothills offers easy, practical living. Clearwater Creek is quiet, and only three miles north of the county seat of Rutherfordton... and with low dues of only 400/yr, the gated community offers security and peace of mind, convenience, and ease of access.
