About this home

Ideally situated between the charming towns of Tryon, NC and Landrum, SC, this custom-built home sits on a .71 beautifully maintained parcel with a separate .26-acre adjoining parcel for added privacy and protected year-round mountain views. From the rocking chair front porch, the front door leads to an open-concept floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room. The primary suite offers two closets and en-suite bath and the second bedroom, with a walk-in closet, is adjacent to the hall bath. The office, conveniently located off the living room, adjoins the laundry room/half bath that has small greenhouse window for overwintering plants. Above this space is a climate-controlled bonus room that is accessed from the garage. From the office is access to a spacious den with a wall of windows that offers a panoramic view. Beautiful hand-hewn wood flooring and solid six-panel wood doors enhance the main level. From the well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, pantry, and desk area, you access the large screened back porch, with a built-in gas grill and vented-hood system, overlooks the fenced backyard and year-round mountain view. An indoor stairwell from the den leads to the ~300 Sf climate-controlled unfinished basement (not included in the listing square footage) that is currently used as an artist studio. This room connects to an additional 285 Sf of unfinished workshop/storage space with a large utility sink, ventilation, and walk-out access. A spacious 400 Sf walk-out crawl space offers even more room for lawn equipment, tools, and seasonal storage. The fully fenced backyard keeps pets in and while deters deer from grazing on the flowers, herbs, and veggies in the raised beds. In addition to the circular driveway, there is an attached 2-car garage and a detached one-car garage (with electricity) and a separate gravel drive by the house with ample room for an RV or boat. A solar energy system adds efficiency, while a generator hookup provides peace of mind. Within walking distance of the lake, downtown Tryon, and the future Saluda Grade Trail, this property has year-round mountain views and lake access rights for boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing (optional $75/year fee to access the boat launch). This property is in a key location near the vibrant downtowns of Tryon and Landrum that feature boutique shopping, restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and many year-round community events, and is less than 10 minutes to a local hospital. With the Saluda Rail Trail in the works, outdoor enthusiasts can also take advantage of the nearby Blue Wall Preserve, mountain biking, waterfalls, and endless hiking opportunities. One of the best equestrian destinations around with horse shows, concerts, and other fun activities year-round, the area has miles of riding trails convenient to Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) and Tryon International. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, mountain retreat, lake getaway, or potential vacation home, this property offers an exceptional combination of comfort, flexibility, and some of the Carolinas' most desirable recreational opportunities around!
