Extraordinary 76-acre mountain retreat offering over half a mile of pristine river frontage, breathtaking long-range views, and unmatched privacy. This remarkable property features approximately half a mile of crystal-clear frontage along the First Broad River—often described as “magical”—with two all-weather, drivable river access points, creating an ideal setting for relaxing, exploring, or building your dream escape.

Additional water features include frontage on No Business Creek along with multiple interior streams that wind through the landscape, enhancing both beauty and usability. Take in sweeping views of the South Mountains, Cherry Mountain, and the Blue Ridge, with a premier hilltop homesite showcasing approximately 7 acres of open, newly established grass—perfectly positioned for a private estate or luxury build.

Surrounded by strategic timber buffers, the property offers exceptional seclusion and a true sense of retreat while still providing a versatile layout with existing internal road systems for easy access throughout. With much of the groundwork already in place, this land is ready for your vision—whether that’s a private mountain estate, family compound, recreational getaway, or long-term investment.

Located in a rural area with very relaxed zoning restrictions, the possibilities here are endless. Enjoy the peace and privacy of the mountains without sacrificing convenience—just about an hour to Charlotte, under an hour to Asheville or Spartanburg, and within easy reach of Greenville and Hickory.

A rare opportunity to own a legacy property where river, views, and privacy come together in perfect balance.  


This property can be purchased as a package with MLS# 4338049 (additional 17 acres with income producing campground) Refer to listing MLS #4337624 for the entire 93 acres!

High in the foothills of Cleveland County sits a sprawling 248-acre property that perfectly captures the beauty and spirit of western North Carolina. The landscape rolls gently upward to a high ridge where, on a clear day, you can stand beneath the hardwood canopy and see the distant shimmer of the Charlotte skyline — nearly 50 miles away. Views like this are almost impossible to find, and this property offers them in several directions.

This land has been carefully preserved for decades. Two of the parcels are enrolled in a Present Use Value (PUV) Timber Program, and according to the seller, the forest hasn’t been cut since the early 1970s. The result is a mature stand of hardwoods — oak, hickory, and poplar — that tower over the ridgelines, creating both an ecological treasure and a valuable timber resource. The forest floor is alive with wildlife; whitetail deer, turkey, squirrels, and even the occasional black bear call this property home.

The upper property line adjoins the Pine Mountain Estates community, and also serves as the county line between Cleveland and Burke Counties. Along this stretch lies over one-third of a mile of frontage on Pine Ridge Road, offering easy access and excellent potential for future development. Yet despite bordering an established neighborhood, this property remains completely unrestricted — not subject to any covenants, zoning limitations, or HOA oversight. It’s rare to find this much flexibility paired with such accessibility and close proximity to infrastructure.

As you descend from the ridge, the terrain opens into a broad, gently rolling valley where a ~20-acre fenced pasture stretches across the lower portion of the property. It’s been meticulously maintained for decades — ideal for cattle, horses, or hay production. A small, year-round creek meanders along the edge, providing a steady water source and a serene backdrop for livestock or recreation.

The possibilities here are endless. For the conservation-minded buyer, the combination of mature timber, diverse wildlife, and water features make this property a strong candidate for long-term stewardship or a conservation easement. For developers, the road frontage, proximity to existing infrastructure, and natural elevation offer a canvas for a private estate community or multiple homesites with unobstructed mountain and skyline views. And for those dreaming of a private retreat, it’s a place where you can hike for hours without seeing another person — yet still be within easy reach of Morganton, Shelby, and Hickory.

Quiet, private, and absolutely stunning, this 248-acre tract represents one of the finest large parcels remaining in the Cleveland County. It’s a property that feels wild yet welcoming — a rare balance of beauty, utility, and freedom that defines the very best of rural North Carolina.
