Tucked away at the end of a 1,250-foot driveway, this peaceful and private property offers the best of rural living: plenty of space, stunning natural surroundings, and complete seclusion, all just a short walk to the South Carolina line. Although the address is Rutherfordton, the home is located in desirable Polk County and offers a fantastic opportunity for a horse property, mini farm, or simply a quiet country retreat. The land includes open pasture areas, woods, and a garden space with raised beds, all partially fenced and ready for animals or expansion. An additional 14-acre wooded parcel on Radar Road is also available separately for those looking to expand. The property includes a 24x24 barn-style garage with power, front and rear sliding doors, and dual 24x15 lean-tos on each side, offering flexible space for animals or equipment. There's also a 32x30 equipment or hay storage building with over 11-foot ceilings. Inside, the home is full of charm and light, featuring hickory hardwood floors throughout most of the living spaces and no carpet. The kitchen is well-appointed with solid hickory cabinetry, Corian countertops, a center island, pantry, and a full suite of appliances, including the washer and dryer. A spacious eat-in area and plenty of windows make the heart of the home feel bright and inviting. One of the highlights is the beautiful sunroom addition with vaulted wood-lined ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a Vermont Castings Defiant wood stove with a floor-to-ceiling stone surround. This space is served by a mini-split system and opens onto a stone patio where a private hot tub awaits, also included with the home. The primary suite is tucked away at the back of the house and features a walk-in closet, tiled shower, jetted tub, dual vanities, and lots of natural light. All bedrooms are located off a central hallway and offer generous closet space. The home also features nine-foot ceilings, crown molding, and a full-length covered front porch perfect for relaxing while taking in the pastoral views. With internet access available, room to roam, and no other homes in sight, this property offers a rare combination of comfort, privacy, and flexibility. Whether you're looking to start a small farm, keep horses, or simply enjoy the peaceful lifestyle, this one is truly special.
