About this home

Set on more than 12 picturesque acres just minutes from the world-renowned Tryon International Equestrian Center, this exceptional farmhouse estate offers an unmatched blend of luxury mountain living, equestrian functionality, and incredible investment potential. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, boutique event venue, luxury Airbnb retreat, or working equestrian property, the possibilities here are truly endless. Designed with horse enthusiasts in mind, the property features three fenced pastures and a well-equipped two-stall barn complete with tack room and hay/shavings storage, creating a turnkey setup for equestrian use. The expansive grounds are beautifully landscaped and centered around one of the property’s most breathtaking features — a luxurious custom creek and waterfall installation stretching over 170 feet and showcasing more than seven cascading waterfalls, creating a truly serene and unforgettable setting rarely found in the area. The spacious 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence offers exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, retreat-style hosting, or income-producing opportunities. Several of the bedrooms can easily serve as bunk rooms, offices, fitness spaces, media rooms, or private guest suites, allowing the home to adapt seamlessly to a variety of lifestyles and business ventures. Adding even more versatility is the private 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment above the garage — ideal for guests, caretakers, rental income, or extended family living. Enjoy peaceful mornings and mountain sunsets from the expansive side deck overlooking the rolling countryside and surrounding mountain views. Located just a short drive from one of the country’s premier equestrian destinations, this rare Western North Carolina property combines natural beauty, privacy, functionality, and commercial potential in one extraordinary offering. Additional highlights include brand-new siding, fresh exterior paint, making this property move-in ready while still offering room to personalize and expand its vision. Furnishings negotiable. Approximately 1,706 square feet of total HLA unpermitted.
