With the experience of eighteen subdivisions behind us, Mountain Creek Land Company has beautiful parcels of heavily wooded, lightly wooded, mountain view and creek front properties available in western North Carolina. Each property offered has paved road access, and a permit for a three-bedroom septic system from the Rutherford County Health Department, assuring our customers that the property is buildable.

These exceptional values are in the new communities of Hearthstone Ridge and Clearwater Creek, both of them situated in the upper foothills of northern Rutherford County, within a ten minute drive to Rutherfordton, which is the county seat. A quaint town of just over 4,100 residents, Rutherfordton offers schools, banks, grocery stores, the courthouse, and healthcare, with several specialties represented.

Both developments are lightly restricted, which is important in rural western North Carolina. In a nutshell, this means that you won't have your neighbor putting an old single-wide mobile home next to your beautiful new vacation property. Nor will you see old unused cars or household junk, like old refrigerators, accumulating on the property next door. Although the parcels are large, a neighbor is still a neighbor, and a few simple rules keep everybody on the same page, and protect your property values.

The restrictions and protective covenants also provide for the protection of large hardwood trees, and the right to maintain a couple of grazing animals - your horse and llama are welcome here. (Consider one of our large creek front properties with generous pasture areas.) After all, this is country living, and no one here has an interest in telling you how to live.

The paved roads, a well-designed two acre park, and a gated entrance is covered by low property owner's fees. What keeps the costs down in this rural location are not having amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts, or clubhouses. Those expensive things constantly need maintenance and insurance, resulting in ever increasing property owners dues.

Clearwater Creek is an 800 acre tract of land that includes mountain views, creeks and streams, and from one to six acre parcels. With most of this property sold already, Mountain Creek Land Company is offering excellent prices on the remaining handful of real estate available. Hearthstone Ridge is a 470 acre tract, still under construction. Several mountain view parcels are available, although many of them have sold already. (Mountain view land is usually the first to sell, followed by waterfront land.)

Take some time to discover Rutherford County, NC. We're a relatively undiscovered place in the mountains and foothills of western North Carolina, and since we are on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, some gorgeous sunsets over those mountains are waiting for you!
