5005 Rocky Ridge Rd, Connelly Springs, NC 28612

This clean, modern 3-bedroom, 2-bath home — constructed in 2021 — sits perched on a private 5.28-acre parcel and offers the rare combination of newer construction with true country space. The single-level layout (≈1,478 SF) flows from an entry and living area into an open kitchen with contemporary finishes and included appliances (dishwasher, electric range/oven, refrigerator). A mud room/laundry zone off the rear provides practical daily use and storage. Heating and cooling are provided by an efficient heat pump, and the home is served by a private well and septic system.

The lot is the standout: a mix of level and gently sloped terrain, wooded buffers, and a small stream/creek area give privacy and multiple usable spaces for gardens, a workshop, or outdoor recreation. The elevated setting creates distinct views across the property and separates the home from the quiet county road. There is no HOA, giving you flexibility to add outbuildings or fencing (confirm county permits).

This property is move-in ready, with updated finishes and low-maintenance systems typical of newer construction. Practical touches such as ample parking area, included major appliances, and an efficient mechanical setup make the home easy to own. Sellers have priced competitively and are motivated to find the right buyer who values acreage, convenience to nearby towns, and modern living without the upkeep of an older farmhouse.

Located between Morganton and Hickory (easy drive to shopping, medical services, and regional employers), this home appeals to buyers seeking a rural lifestyle within commutable distance to work and schools. Showings by appointment — contact the listing agent to schedule a private tour and to request well/septic and other property disclosures.
