Property Description

Discover this one-owner home in the desirable River Ridge at Cleghorn South subdivision, a gated community just 2 miles from Cleghorn Country Club and 4 miles from Tryon International Equestrian Center. Conveniently located off US Hwy 74, the community sits midway between Forest City/Rutherfordton and Columbus, offering both accessibility and a relaxed lifestyle. Residents enjoy a beautiful commons area with Broad River frontage, perfect for fishing, picnics, or simply unwinding by the water. Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat, a year-round haven, or a short-term rental investment, this property offers it all. Set on 3 private acres, the home is surrounded by woods and wildlife, creating a true retreat. A sparkling water feature adds charm and tranquility, while the full wraparound porch invites you to slow down and savor nature from every angle—morning coffee, evening sunsets, or quiet afternoons in the shade. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a spacious main-level primary suite. The inviting living room features gleaming wood floors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the open kitchen and dining area—an ideal space for gatherings with family and friends. Upstairs, a large loft provides versatile living space for a den, office, library, or playroom. Two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. The partially finished basement with half bath boasts 9-ft ceilings, two outside entrances, three windows, a minisplit unit, and drywall already installed—only a ceiling is needed to complete the space. A double garage, two outbuildings, a woodshed, and a new roof in 2020 add function and peace of mind. All of this is just minutes from Rutherfordton, Forest City, Cleghorn Golf & Gun Club, local vineyards, and under an hour to Asheville. Welcome home to River Ridge at Cleghorn South—where comfort, convenience, and natural beauty come together.
