Set on just under 25 acres in Lincolnton, this property brings together usable land, water access, and a setup that’s hard to find all in one place. With open pastures, two stocked ponds, and roughly 631 feet of frontage along the South Fork Catawba River, it’s built for someone who wants space, function, and something a little different from the typical. The setting opens up to long-range views across the property that are hard to replicate. The home was custom-built by the builder as their personal residence and is move-in ready with a layout that makes sense for everyday living. On the main level, you’ll find the primary bedroom along with the kitchen, dining area, living room, and laundry room. The bedrooms are generously sized, and a second bedroom and full bathroom are also on the main floor, while the upper level, which is currently being finished, adds a third bedroom. Just off the living room, a screened-in back porch overlooks the property and gives you a place to take in the land and gorgeous evening sunsets. A rocking chair front porch adds another spot to sit and enjoy the setting. The basement gives you additional flexibility with a large family room, a full bathroom, and an unfinished workshop with its own garage door. The home also includes an oversized two-car garage for added storage and functionality. Beyond the home, approximately 17 acres are fully fenced and laid out in open pasture with the two stocked ponds positioned within the fields. The barn is already set up with six stalls, a tack room, a feed room, a wash pit, and additional storage upstairs. It also includes an office or sitting room with a half bath, along with two lean-tos on each side for additional covered storage space. A separate gravel road provides direct access to the barn, making it easy to come and go without running through the main homesite. The land, layout, and improvements all work together in a way that’s hard to recreate. Closer to the house, the in-ground pool is set up to be used, with a covered patio, plenty of concrete deck space for furniture, and a fenced area finished with brick columns and iron fencing. It’s a setup that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for entertainment. With its combination of acreage, water features, and functional improvements, this is one of those properties that stands out because of how much it offers in one location. And while it feels private and spread out, you’re still just a short 5-minute drive from Downtown Lincolnton for everyday needs.

The main home is designed for comfortable one level living with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and inviting spaces that connect beautifully to the land around it. The chef’s kitchen is both functional and welcoming, while the dedicated office with fiber optic internet overlooks the creek and fields, creating an inspiring place to work, write, plan, or simply pause. Outdoor living is woven into daily life here, with a covered deck, screened in porch, stone patio with arbor draped in grapevines, and a private sundeck with jacuzzi just off the primary suite. A separate 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest house with full kitchen adds flexibility for guests, multi generational living, rental income, or creative use. In years past, this cottage served as a weaving studio, while the large barn was home to a woodworker and welcomed visitors during the local Toe River Arts Studio Tour. That creative spirit still lingers. Whether you envision an artist retreat, workshop, maker’s compound, teaching space, event venue, hobby farm, or homestead, the setting is ready for your next chapter. The multi-purpose barn offers generous open space for gatherings, projects, storage, or farming use, with four stalls and additional storage rooms below. The grounds tell their own story, vegetable gardens, apple trees, herb and berry plantings, open pasture, and fertile farmland that has supported a life close to the land. The wooded acreage is home to wildlife and invites quiet hikes. Practical features support the dream, with solar panels for sustainable living and reduced energy costs, and a whole house generator for peace of mind. Located just minutes from Downtown Burnsville and only 45 miles from Asheville, 53 miles to Asheville Regional Airport and Tri-Cities Airport is 56 miles away. This is not just a mountain property. It is a place with history, purpose, beauty, and room to build a meaningful life.
