Nestled within the beautiful town of Morganton, NC, 17.5 acre property offers the perfect landscape for your dream home. Nestled in an offshoot of the Appalachians, its highest points can be found along the southern boundaries. Standing several hundred feet above the views of Burke County to the north, it is a vantage point that captures the essence of elevation and serenity. Enjoy Lake Creek located on the upper east side of the property.

Morganton, NC is a charming town with a rich history and a variety of activities for residents and visitors alike. Explore the historic downtown area, Lake James State Park, Pisgah National Forest, Linville Caverns, and more! This property is an escape from the chaos of the world, a refuge to retreat into town a couple of days a week. The wooded expanse, dominated by hardwoods and accented by evergreens on the slopes, echoes with tales of a timber's last cut in the 1940s. Some pockets, hidden in the draws, cradle untouched history, waiting for the next chapter to unfold.

Power is accessible from the east, tracing a path along a north-south road near a rustic cabin. This road, beyond its quaint charm, extends north into Silvercreek Development's Phase I, offering a secondary gateway to the entire area. The main access road along the southern boundaries is a 15-minute westward drive to the main highway connecting Morganton with Rutherfordton, unfolding a well-maintained NC State Gamelands road. It serves not only as a conduit to the property but also as a fire service road, a link to the vastness of State Lands to the south, and a gateway to the western reaches of South Mountains State Park.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Morganton’s beauty and create your own haven on Roper Hollow Rd. Contact us today to explore the endless possibilities that this prime real estate has to offer.
