340 Blaynes Trail, Rutherfordton NC Polk County, 49.72 acres, 2 beds, 2 baths This 1910 farmhouse has the kind of character you cannot recreate. Every room reflects it, from the beadboard walls and vintage doors to the original wood ceilings and the woodstove that anchors the main living space. The updates are custom and thoughtful, adding comfort without taking away the personality that defines the home. The kitchen stands out with its raised tin ceiling, Viking range and hood, and farmhouse sink. It opens into bright living space with views across the property. Two bedrooms and two baths sit on the main level. Both bathrooms were recently updated with impressive fixtures and finishes that create beautifully finished spaces. The upper level provides more than 600 sq ft that is already framed and insulated and ready for a straightforward finish. Nearly 50 acres surround the house, a mix of open pasture, woods, and a creek fed pond with a dock. The water is clear and stocked. The land feels usable and private without being remote. Established fruit trees, fenced pasture, a barn, and multiple outbuildings support a wide range of uses. A trail system runs through the woods and around the pond. The original outhouse remains as part of the property’s history. This is a rare combination of character, land, water, and a setting that feels grounded and genuine. A place that works as a retreat and a home at the same time.
