About this home
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.
