Runway, Land, and House for Sale

2491 Hwy 274, Cherryville, NC

Discover a rare aviation lifestyle opportunity in the Carolinas at Lincoln County, NC. This unique offering includes a character-filled residence at 2491 Hwy 274 and an adjoining 21± acres featuring a private 1200′ FAA‑approved grass runway designed for ultralight and STOL aircraft. It’s an ideal blend of home, land, and aviation heritage.

The runway—Northbrook International Ultraport (1NC9)—is FAA‑approved, licensed for flight instruction, and accompanied by two pole‑barn style hangars with space for up to seven small aircraft. With only county R‑SF zoning, the property supports aviation, residential, or entrepreneurial uses.

The 1930 residence offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 2,183 heated square feet on 1.86 acres. Originally a 3‑bedroom home, it has been thoughtfully reconfigured for better flow, including an expanded primary bedroom, updated bath, and a flexible second bedroom/office. Features include solid oak cabinetry, a built‑in china cabinet, replacement windows, Levolor blinds, a red metal roof, and a heated/cooled enclosed porch.

Constructed of rough‑cut heart pine and solid oak, the home has excellent bones and invites further customization. Some cleaning and repairs are still needed; the property is offered as‑is, with potential price flexibility.

The adjoining acreage provides room for expansion—whether a new home, additional hangar, or recreational retreat. The runway will be permanently deed‑protected, with usage rights granted to both the residence and the neighboring parcel, ensuring long‑term aviation viability. Owners may charge for runway use or coordinate shared maintenance.

Altogether, the offering includes 21± acres with a 1200′ runway, two hangars, and a historic home full of potential. The seller is motivated and open to creative offers.
