About this home

Take in breathtaking mountain scenery from this 3BR/2BA picturesque horse farm on 7.76 acres. A classic Appalachian mountain cottage, the main house is designed for casual farm living. Inside this charming 1940s home, recent modern updates (durable metal roof, new HVAC, gutters, LVP flooring). The original kitchen cabinets honor the historic character of the house while featuring stainless steel refrigerator and Corian counters. Baths have been renovated with new insulation and wiring. A wood-burning fireplace insert, hardwood floors, and original hearth define the cozy living room. Many windows throughout allow for lots of natural light inside. The property includes a charming 600 square ft. 1BR/1BA ADU with good rental history for additional income. This added living space has been lovingly renovated. For the equestrian, the setup for horses couldn't be better. An older, but solid barn has 6 large matted stalls, loft hay storage, a large riding arena (120' x 70' +/-), 12 x 36 run-in shelter, and an additional outbuilding for farm storage. Pasture is well-established and has a gentle roll for building up top lines. This small farm property is appropriate for boarding, professional training, or a hobby farm. It's conveniently located near Asheville and Hendersonville, NC, as well as Greenville and Spartanburg, SC. The Tryon area has 3 horse competition centers for EQ enthusiasts.
