***First time on the market, being sold to the public!***
Don’t miss this rare opportunity on Padgett/Atchley Road in Union Mills—almost 24± acres of UNZONED land offering privacy, flexibility, and endless potential in the heart of Western North Carolina! This beautiful raw tract features creeks/cricks and natural streams bordering portions of the property, creating a peaceful setting ideal for those seeking room to roam, outdoor recreation, or a private mountain retreat!
The gently rolling terrain lends itself nicely to trails, camping, recreation, or future homesite possibilities. An older survey (currently unrecorded but available and may be recorded if desired per surveying company) references remnants of an old homesite/infrastructure area on the property.
With multiple potential access points and close proximity to paved roads, the property offers a unique blend of seclusion and convenience. Whether you envision a private estate, recreational getaway, hunting property, family retreat, or long-term investment hold, this tract provides a rare opportunity to shape something truly special.
Conveniently located approximately 15 minutes to Rutherfordton, 20 minutes to Marion, 30 minutes to Lake Lure, and about 45 mins to a hour to Asheville, then Charlotte and Greenville/Spartanburg are also within easy reach while still allowing you to enjoy the tranquility and beauty Union Mills is known for.
Call or text today to schedule your private tour of the property!
Buyers are encouraged to verify all intended uses, access, acreage, survey information, + development plans w/ Rutherford County + applicable professionals during due diligence.
