2191 Cove Rd., Rutherfordton, NC 28139

FAMILY OWNED for 135 YEARS this property echoes memories from years past whispering the names NANITO, SHINGLE HOLLOW and PINEY KNOB, none of which carry a postal address today. In 1884 and beyond this spot was a hub of activity for these sleepy towns. WJ Hardin, age 16, was the owner, and self-proclaimed doctor, dentist, attorney, postmaster, STORE OWNER and proud Deacon of his Church. In retrospect he had and was all anyone needed on demand. The Store and Home were proudly maintained by son J Lewis Hardin who continued the family legacy. Fading quickly are Structures, (Home and Store), and Memories. Structures including said STORE BUILDING and FAMILY HOME beckon someone’s love and care. This entire acreage fronts Cove Road on both sides as well as Piney Knob Road on both sides. Call for an appointment to see and bring your imagination. Jock Lauterer, in his book Runnin’ on Rims, details the history of the store. 18 +/- acres and all buildings including home being sold as-is.
