Casar, Cleveland County North Carolina

When I first saw this land, I fell in love with it. I feel certain that you will too. It has 86 acres of rolling pastures and hardwood trees mixed throughout. There are commanding views from all positions on the land. But none better than where currently, there is a five bedroom, three full bath double wide with decks all around and a full covered porch on the side facing the mountain. It is secluded and totally private with a panoramic view of the valley and the South Mountains. This house site sits atop a knoll that falls off on three sides. There is a large barn on the property and a 20 X 30 shop along with other out buildings. There is a creek that runs through the center of the property originating in South Mountain and four springs feeding into the larger creek. The land is fenced and cross fenced with sorting pens and load chutes at the barn. There are three wells on the property and county water is available on approximately 500 feet of paved road frontage. There are two tracts that I will consider selling separately if someone wants a smaller tract. One is 11.06 acres and has the barn and one well along with a nice metal shed.. The other is 11.80 acres and is secluded and totally private. It has a house site with power, well, septic, and phone on a knoll with a very nice view of the mountain. The large creek and one of the four springs borders this property on two sides.

South Mountain State Park is just minutes away and is the largest state park in NC. It has hiking trails, camping, waterfall, and equestrian campsites with LQ trailer parking with a barn and miles of horse trails. The park also has public game lands.

This property is ideally located for commuters. There are so many beautiful places and choices within a very short distance. NC ski slopes are about an hour and a half drive. It is an hour to downtown Charlotte, NC and Clt. Intl airport. It is approximately an hour to Asheville, NC and beautiful Biltmore Estates as well as Greenville-Spartanburg, SC area.

If you have a love for nature and privacy, you will not want to overlook this property! Please feel free to call or e-mail for clarification or additional information. There are no restrictions on this property. $725,000.00

South Mountains State Park NC
Nestled deep in the woods, South Mountains State Park is the perfect place to enjoy nature. Here you can see a majestic mountain range peeking out from the gently rolling landscape of the piedmont.

The park includes elevations up to 3,000 feet, a waterfall dropping 80 feet and more than 40 miles of trails. From equestrian camping to trout fishing, mountain biking to picnicking, a number of activities are available at South Mountains State Park.

Visit one of the state's most rugged parks. Hike the trail to High Shoals Falls to witness the roar of the waterfall as it pours into a large pool. Backpack through the woodlands for primitive camping. Fish for trout in miles of mountain streams, or bicycle along the 18-mile mountain-bike loop.

South Mountains State Park is a good winter hiking area. While the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge to the west might be snow covered. The S. Mountains are usually a bit milder. The highest elevation in the Park is Benn Knob at 2,894'. Chestnut Knob is 2,291.

South Mountains has plenty of trails for the hiker! Also, there are a number of 'Pack in' campsites. So Back country hikes are possible. There is a fee for camping in the Park and Park Gates are locked at night. Check with the Ranger Station when you arrive. The Park is quite remote.

Park history
The South Mountains, carved out of the Blue Ridge by erosion, are a broad belt of peaks and knobs rising abruptly from a deep valley. These steep, rugged mountains encompass 100,000 acres in Burke, Cleveland and Rutherford counties.

The Catawba Valley and the gaps across the mountain ranges to the west were once major travel routes. The South Mountains served as a buffer zone between the Cherokee and the Catawba Indians, and the first European settlers in the area farmed the fertile land along the Catawba River.

In 1828, gold was discovered at Brindle Creek. Legend holds that gold flakes and grains were first discovered in the mud used to seal a log cabin. The ensuing gold rush attracted immigrants, mining companies and slave owners. Gold was mined into the early 20th century, but activity in the gold mines eventually declined.

Development of land in what is now South Mountains State Park began in the 1930s when Camp Dryer, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp, was established at Enola. Those employed at the camp constructed forest service roads, cleaned stream beds and built a forest observation tower. The Lower and Upper CCC roads are still in use at the park today.

The park was established as a result of recommendations made by a National Park Service study conducted in coordination with the state of North Carolina. Though proposals for the park began in the 1940s, it was not until 1974 that funds were appropriated to purchase the land. The first land acquisition totaled 5,779 acres. Additional land has since been added, bringing the park to its present size of 16,664 acres.

While most of the high points average approximately 2,000 feet in elevation, Buzzard's Roost towers some 3,000 feet above the surrounding landscape. Elevations within the park itself range from less than 1,200 feet at points along Jacob's Fork River to 3,000 feet on Buzzard's Roost along the park's western boundary.

Water winding through the park to the Catawba River cuts deep into the terrain, forming rugged and steep slopes. The most spectacular feature in the park is High Shoals Falls on Jacob's Fork River. Here, a torrent of water drops 80 feet over a cliff face of bare rock. In addition, Chestnut Knob offers tranquility and a magnificent view of surrounding peaks and ridges.
