Imagine having glorious DuPont State Recreational Forest as your neighbor - with over 10,000 acres of conserved forest land and waterfalls so magnificent that they were featured in classic movies such as The Last of the Mohicans and The Hunger Games! If you are a nature lover, exploring over 90 miles of trails for hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding will give you unparalleled adventures for years to come. Lot 15 in the Idlewild subdivision is less than a mile from the Fawn Lake entrance to DuPont, and just down the highway a bit is the Mountain Bridge Wilderness area, which offers more trails and majestic scenery. And you are only 30 minutes away from Pisgah National Forest. Idlewild is not densely populated like many subdivisions you may be familiar with. Many lots have several acres, with some up to 10 acres, and there are approximately 20 very nice homes. The lot itself is a gently sloping building lot which could significantly cut down on building cost. Idlewild is part of the very desirable Cedar Mountain community, which is a rural community where neighbors help neighbors and has a post office, a market for all your necessities, and a few restaurants to boot. It has become a major music venue featuring the unique musical talent of the Appalachian Mountains. Come see and explore for yourself! Less than an hour to Greenville, SC, or Asheville, NC; 30 minutes to Brevard, NC, and just a bit more to Hendersonville, NC.

The Brick Ranch on Rosehill That Asks Nothing of Your Knees Here's the thing about one-story living: you don't appreciate it until you've carried a laundrybasket up a flight of stairs one too many times. 3029 Rosehill Dr, Charlotte, NC 28212 | Listed by Khin Yee | Page 1 of 6 3029 Rosehill Dr is a brick ranch in East Charlotte, and all 1,141 square feet of it happen on onelevel. Three bedrooms. A full bath and a half bath. Not a stair in the floor plan. Come through the white front door, the one set off by stone accent and flanked in black shutters,and you land in a living room with wood floors, crown molding, and room for a real sofa withsomewhere left to walk. The kitchen opens just off it: white cabinetry with brass-tone knobs, tile counters, and a tilebacksplash with small decorative accents someone chose on purpose. A window sits over thestainless double sink, because dishes go better with a view of the yard. Then there's the sun room. Wrapped in windows, tile underfoot, a ceiling fan overhead, and oneinterior wall left in painted brick. Be warned: this is the room you will end up in. Three bedrooms sit down the hall, and a separate utility room off the back takes the laundrywithout stealing space from anywhere else. Outside, mature trees shade a deep lot, and chain-link fencing wraps the sides and rear. This is a house that spends its square footage well. Come see it before somebody else does.Contact Khin Yee to schedule a showing.
