North Carolina Mountains Aviation Retreat & Hangar

Few mountain properties offer the story, flexibility, and possibilities found on this 10-acre retreat just minutes from downtown Rutherfordton, less than 20 miles from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park, and about an hour from Asheville. The custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath log cabin was handcrafted from timber milled directly from the property, creating a home rich in character with exposed wood beams, custom details, and thoughtfully designed living spaces.

In addition to the main home, the property includes a 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest cabin currently operating as a short-term rental, a second cabin under development, and multiple additional homesites—ideal for a family compound, retreat, or expanded rental opportunity. Enjoy a stocked fishing pond, peaceful waterfall with a meditation area, creek, gem mine replica, mountain views, and wooded privacy.

The hangar provides a unique opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to store their aircraft, while equestrian buyers may envision converting the space into a barn to complement the property’s proximity to the Tryon International Equestrian Center, located less than 10 miles away. Further down the property, you’ll find far more than a typical garage: Moonshiner’s Garage is a destination of its own—offering a vehicle lift, generous workshop space, and plenty of room for collectors, hobbyists, and automotive enthusiasts.

Whether you’re looking for a mountain retreat, aviation property, income-producing investment, or legacy estate, 1002 C C Road is a rare opportunity unlike any other.
